Annual Investment Adviser's Report
October 31, 2018 (unaudited)
November 23, 2018
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this Annual Report covering the activities of the Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund (the "Fund") for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2018.
Performance Summary
11/1/2017 – 10/31/2018
Fund & Benchmark | | Performance | |
Class I1 | | | 3.45 | % | |
Class A1,2 | | | 3.20 | % | |
Class C1,2 | | | 2.58 | % | |
Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index3 | | | 4.89 | % | |
Performance shown for the Fund's Class A and Class C Shares does not reflect sales charges, which are a maximum of 4.75% and 1.00%, respectively.2
Market Review: A steady period for the asset class
The 12-month period ended October 31, 2018 was a positive one for the senior secured loan asset class. The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (the "Index"), the Fund's benchmark, returned 4.89% for the period. The discount margin for senior loans, using a three-year average life assumption, tightened 0.18% during the period to end the period at +398 basis points. The average price of the Index increased 0.27 points to finish the period at $98.38.
From a quality point of view, the lower rated portion of the Index outperformed for the year. CCC/Split CCC posted the highest returns, at 9.94%, followed by Split B loans, which returned 8.74% during the period. Split BBB and BB-rated loans underperformed with respective returns of 3.66% and 3.96%.
From an industry perspective, retail, energy, and food & drug were the top performers, with respective returns of 8.22%, 8.19% and 7.47%. Conversely, consumer durables, consumer non-durables and food/tobacco lagged with returns of -0.88%, 3.50% and 3.88%, respectively.
The year was characterized by steady gains, with the Index posting positive returns each month, as demand for the asset class continued. Leveraged loan mutual funds experienced a net inflow of $12.41 billion, which includes 10 consecutive months of positive flows through October. Additionally, CLO creation was robust with gross issuance of $275 billion that included $130 billion in new vehicles, according to JPMorgan.

Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Annual Investment Adviser's Report (continued)
October 31, 2018 (unaudited)
In terms of supply, JPMorgan reports gross loan issuance of $793 billion and net issuance of $287 billion (ex-refinancing/repricing transactions) for the last 12 months. To put this in context, with $268 billion year to date, 2018 is on pace to be the highest reported net issuance year the loan market has experienced.
Market fundamentals remain strong, as the trailing 12-month U.S. leveraged loan par-weighted default rate ended the period at 1.92% — significantly below the 3.0 – 3.5% historical average.
Strategic Review and Outlook: Fundamentals and economic data remain solid
For the annual period ended October 31, 2018, the Fund underperformed the Index. This underperformance is largely attributable to negative security selection in the media/telecommunications and information technology sectors. In addition, an underweight to the retail sector also detracted from relative performance.
We expect to see volatility in the near term due to investor concerns over the economic and credit cycle, recent LBO issuance, trade tensions, Brexit and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Over the long term, we continue to be constructive on the leveraged loan market given the stable economic backdrop and senior secured and floating rate features of the asset class.

Senior secured floating rate loans ("Senior Loans") typically hold the most senior position in the issuer's capital structure. Senior Loans are subject to the risk that a court could subordinate a Senior Loan to presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of Senior Loans.
High yield bonds are bonds rated below BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody's that are also known as "junk bonds." Such bonds entail greater risks than those found in higher-rated securities.

Returns represent past performance and include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. Past performance cannot guarantee future results. The current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Returns and share price will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. The performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance information current to the most recent month end is available at www.credit-suisse.com/us/funds.
The annual gross expense ratios are 0.76% for Class I shares, 1.01% for Class A shares, and 1.76% for Class C shares. The annual net expense ratios after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are 0.70% for Class I shares, 0.95% for Class A shares and 1.70% for Class C shares.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six months ended October 31, 2018.
The table illustrates your Fund's expenses in two ways:
• Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line.
• Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare the Fund's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period.
The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" and the "Annualized Expense Ratios" in the tables are based on actual expenses paid by the Fund during the period, net of fee waivers and/or actual expense reimbursements, if applicable. If those fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements had not been in effect, the Fund's actual expenses would have been higher. Expenses do not reflect additional charges and expenses that are, or may be, imposed under the variable contracts or plans. Such charges and expenses are described in the prospectus of the insurance company separate account or in the plan documents or other informational materials supplied by plan sponsors. The Fund's expenses should be considered with these charges and expenses in evaluating the overall cost of investing in the separate account.

Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2018
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified open-end management investment company that seeks to provide a high level of current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation. The Trust was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a business trust on May 31, 1995.
The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class I shares, Class A shares and Class C shares. Each class of shares represents an equal pro rata interest in the Fund, except the share classes bear different expenses. Class A shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75%. Class C shares are sold subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if the shares are redeemed within the first year of purchase. Class I shares are sold without a sales charge. Class B shares were terminated on December 15, 2017 and are no longer offered.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 — Financial Services — Investment Companies.
A) SECURITY VALUATION — The Board of Trustees (the "Board") is responsible for the Fund's valuation process. The Board has delegated the supervision of the daily valuation process to Credit Suisse who has established a Pricing Committee which, pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board, is responsible for making fair valuation determinations and overseeing the Fund's pricing policies. The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. The valuations for fixed income securities (which may include, but are not limited to, corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities) and certain derivative instruments are
39

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. These pricing services generally price fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional "round lot" size, but some trades occur in smaller "odd lot" sizes which may be effected at lower prices than institutional round lot trades. Structured note agreements are valued in accordance with a dealer-supplied valuation based on changes in the value of the underlying index. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Forward contracts are valued at the London closing spot rates and the London closing forward point rates on a daily basis. The currency forward contract pricing model derives the differential in point rates to the expiration date of the forward and calculates its present value. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. The Fund may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board to fair value certain securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. If independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by the investment adviser to be unreliable, the market price may be determined by the investment adviser using quotations from one or more brokers/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. When reliable prices are not readily available, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its net asset value, these securities will be fair valued in good faith by the Pricing Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board.
The Fund uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future cash flows to present value.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
GAAP established a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at each measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2018 in valuing the Fund's assets and liabilities carried at fair value:

Each fair value determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, including both observable and unobservable inputs. Observable and unobservable inputs that Credit Suisse Asset Management LLC, the Fund's investment adviser ("Credit Suisse" or the "Adviser") considers may include (i) the existence of any contractual restrictions on the disposition of securities; (ii) information obtained from the company, which may include an analysis of the company's financial statements, the company's products or intended markets or the company's technologies; (iii) the price of the same or similar security negotiated at arm's length in an issuer's completed subsequent round of financing; (iv) the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; or (v) a probability and time value adjusted analysis of contractual term. Where available and appropriate, multiple valuation methodologies are applied to confirm fair value. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, determining fair value requires more judgment. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Fund in determining fair value is greatest for
42
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
investments categorized in Level 3. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the least observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different from the valuations used at the date of these financial statements.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, but there was $44,524,690 transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a lack of pricing source supported by observable inputs and $83,651,924 transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as a result of the availability of a pricing source supported by observable inputs. All transfers, if any, are assumed to occur at the end of the reporting period.
B) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES — The Fund adopted amendments to authoritative guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities which require that a fund disclose (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and hedging activities are accounted for and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedging activities affect a fund's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Fund's derivatives did not qualify for hedge accounting as they are held at fair value.
The following table presents the fair value and the location of derivatives within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at October 31, 2018 and the effect of these derivatives on the Statement of Operations for the year ended October 31, 2018.
Primary Underlying Risk | | Derivative Assets | | Derivative Liabilities | | Realized Gain (Loss) | | Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
Foreign currency exchange rate | |
Forward contracts | | $ | 6,611,474 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,278,670 | | | $ | 11,507,201 | | |
For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Fund held an average monthly value on a net basis of $284,150,317 in forward foreign currency contracts.
The Fund is a party to International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") Master Agreements ("Master Agreements") with certain counterparties that govern over-the-counter derivative (including Total Return, Credit Default and Interest Rate Swaps) and foreign exchange contracts entered
43
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
into by the Fund. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties' general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Termination events applicable to the Fund may occur upon a decline in the Fund's net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time.
The following table presents by counterparty the Fund's derivative assets, net of related collateral held by the Fund, at October 31, 2018:
Counterparty | | Gross Amount of Derivative Assets Presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities(a) | | Financial Instruments and Derivatives Available for Offset | | Non-Cash Collateral Received | | Cash Collateral Received | | Net Amount of Derivative Assets | |
Morgan Stanley | | $ | 6,611,474 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 6,611,474 | | |
(a) Forward foreign currency contracts are included.
C) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, including purchases and sales of investments, and income and expenses, are translated into US dollar amounts on the date of those transactions.
Reported net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency transactions arises from sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net change in unrealized gains and losses on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arises from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments at the end of the period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations.
D) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME/EXPENSE — Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income/expense is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes
44
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Dividend income/expense is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain expenses are class-specific expenses, vary by class and are charged only to that class. Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of the outstanding shares of that class. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. To the extent any issuer defaults or a credit event occurs that impacts the issuer, the Fund may halt any additional interest income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date of default or credit event.
E) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Dividends and distributions to shareholders of the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
F) FEDERAL AND OTHER TAXES — No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
In order to qualify as a RIC under the Code, the Fund must meet certain requirements regarding the source of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its income. One of these requirements is that the Fund derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies or net income derived from interests in certain publicly-traded partnerships ("Qualifying Income").
The Fund adopted the authoritative guidance for uncertainty in income taxes and recognizes a tax benefit or liability from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority's widely understood
45
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
administrative practices and procedures. The Fund has reviewed its current tax positions and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
G) CASH — The Fund's uninvested cash balance is held in an interest bearing variable rate demand deposit account at State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Fund's custodian.
H) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS — A forward foreign currency exchange contract ("forward currency contract") is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at the settlement date at a negotiated rate. The Fund will enter into forward currency contracts primarily for hedging foreign currency risk. Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and unrealized gain/loss is recorded daily. On the settlement date of the forward currency contract, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was closed. Certain risks may arise upon entering into forward currency contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The maximum counterparty credit risk to the Fund is measured by the unrealized gain on appreciated contracts. Additionally, when utilizing forward currency contracts to hedge, the Fund forgoes the opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract. The Fund's open forward currency contracts at October 31, 2018 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
I) UNFUNDED LOAN COMMITMENTS — The Fund enters into certain agreements, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these loan commitments at the borrowers' discretion. Funded and unfunded portions of credit agreements are presented in the Schedule of Investments. As of October 31, 2018, unfunded commitments were as follows:
Borrower | | Maturity | | Rate | | Unfunded Commitment | |
Bulldog Purchaser, Inc. | | 08/22/25 | | | 1.875 | | | $ | 3,529,275 | | |
Unfunded loan commitments and funded portions of credit agreements are marked to market daily and any unrealized appreciation or depreciation is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations.
46
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
J) SECURITIES LENDING — The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 102% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund, or excess collateral returned by the Fund, on the next business day. Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse and may be invested in a variety of investments, including funds advised by SSB, the Fund's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
SSB has been engaged by the Fund to act as the Fund's securities lending agent. As of October 31, 2018, the Fund had investment securities on loan with a fair value of $12,244,626. Collateral received for securities loaned and a related liability of $12,583,625 are presented gross in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The collateral for securities loaned is valued consistently to the other investments held by the Fund and is included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of October 31, 2018, the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned.
The Fund's securities lending arrangement provides that the Fund and SSB will share the net income earned from securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned. During the year ended October 31, 2018, total earnings from the Fund's investment in cash collateral received in connection with securities lending arrangements was $134,280 of which $57,975 was rebated to borrowers (brokers). The Fund retained $57,240 in income from the cash collateral investment, and SSB, as lending agent, was paid $19,065.
K) OTHER — The high yield, fixed income securities in which the Fund invests will primarily consist of senior secured floating rate loans ("Senior Loans") issued by non-investment grade companies. Senior Loans are typically secured by specific collateral of the issuer and hold the most senior position in the issuer's capital structure. The interest rate on Senior Loans is periodically adjusted to a recognized base rate, typically the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). While these characteristics may reduce interest rate risk and
47
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
mitigate losses in the event of borrower default, the Senior Loans in which the Fund invests have below investment grade credit ratings and thereby are considered speculative because of the significant credit risk of their issuers.
Lower-rated debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds") possess speculative characteristics and are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of lost income and principal than higher-rated debt securities for a variety of reasons. Also, during an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which would adversely affect their ability to service their principal and interest payment obligations, to meet projected business goals and to obtain additional financing.
In addition, periods of economic uncertainty and changes can be expected to result in increased volatility of market prices of lower-rated debt securities and the Fund's net asset value.
L) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS — In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization On Purchased Callable Debt Securities ("ASU 2017-08"). The update shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these changes to future financial statements.
Also, in August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"). The update provides guidance that eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these changes to future financial statements.
M) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS — In preparing the financial statements as of October 31, 2018, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements through the date of release of this report. No such events requiring recognition or disclosure were identified through the date of the release of this report.

Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties
Credit Suisse serves as investment adviser and co-administrator for the Fund. For its investment advisory and administration services, Credit Suisse is entitled to receive a fee from the Fund at an annual rate of 0.79% of the Fund's average daily net assets less than or equal to $100 million and 0.59% of the Fund's average daily net assets greater than $100 million. For the year ended October 31, 2018, investment advisory and administration fees earned and voluntarily waived by Credit Suisse were $22,948,260 and $2,287,751, respectively.
For its co-administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon the relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio, subject to an annual minimum fee. For the year ended October 31, 2018, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) with respect to the Fund were $560,774.
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC ("CSSU"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, serves as the distributor of the Fund's shares. Pursuant to a distribution plan adopted by the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, CSSU receives fees for its distribution services. These fees are calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. For the Class B and Class C shares, the fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets.

Note 7. Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
The tax character of dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was as follows:
Ordinary Income | | Return of Capital | |
2018 | | 2017 | | 2018 | | 2017 | |
$ | 163,086,986 | | | $ | 128,525,258 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,998,269 | | |
The tax basis components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of dividends payable, wash sales, forward contracts marked to market and income from defaulted bonds. At October 31, 2018, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Accumulated net realized loss | | $ | (1,784,509 | ) | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | | 2,404,593 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (32,535,308 | ) | |
| | $ | (31,915,224 | ) | |
At October 31, 2018, the Fund had $1,784,509 of unlimited long-term capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains.
During the tax year ended October 31, 2018, the Fund utilized $13,778,937 of loss carryforwards.
At October 31, 2018, the cost and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and derivatives for income tax purposes were as follows:
Cost of Investments | | $ | 3,969,771,534 | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 27,371,685 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (59,390,588 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | | $ | (32,018,903 | ) | |
To adjust for current period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency gain/loss and defaulted bonds, distributable earnings/loss was credited $30, and paid-in capital was charged $30. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2018, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the "financial statements") and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund as of October 31, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2014 were audited by other independent registered public accountants whose report, dated December 29, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our
54

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (continued)
audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC investment companies since 2015.

Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund
Annual Investment Adviser's Report
October 31, 2018 (unaudited)
November 23, 2018
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this Annual Report covering the activities of the Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the "Fund") for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2018.
Performance Summary
11/1/2017 – 10/31/2018
Fund & Benchmark | | Performance | |
Class I1 | | | -6.67 | % | |
Class A1,2 | | | -6.92 | % | |
Class C1,2 | | | -7.65 | % | |
Credit Suisse Managed Futures Liquid Index3 | | | -7.12 | % | |
Performance shown for the Fund's Class A and Class C Shares does not reflect sales charges, which are a maximum of 5.25% and 1.00%, respectively.2
Market Review: A tough period for managed futures overall
The annual period ended October 31, 2018 was a tough one for the managed futures industry, as a number of underlying markets experienced medium- to long-term trend reversals. The Credit Suisse Managed Futures Hedge Fund Index returned -5.04% over the period, while the Credit Suisse Managed Futures Liquid Index, the Fund's benchmark (the "Benchmark"), returned -7.12% over the same period.
Strategic Review and Outlook: Relative outperformance in a challenging period
The managed futures strategy seeks to identify and profit from price trends — upward or downward — in four broad asset classes — commodities, bonds, equities and currencies.
For the annual period ended October 31, 2018, the Fund's Class I and Class A shares outperformed the Benchmark.
From an asset class perspective, currencies were the sole positive contributor to Fund performance. The Fund accumulated short positions (against the U.S. Dollar (USD)) across markets, as the dollar trended upward. These short positions generated profits as the strengthening trend in the USD persisted throughout 2018.
Equity positioning was the largest detractor from Fund performance, as prevailing trends encountered sharp reversals. Equity markets were particularly
1
Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund
Annual Investment Adviser's Report (continued)
October 31, 2018 (unaudited)
sensitive to global trade tensions, which led to the outperformance of U.S. indices, relative to their Chinese and European counterparts.
Fixed income exposures also detracted from Fund performance. The combination of conflicting inflation data, asynchronous central banking policy and political risks contributed to volatile, choppy markets which saw little in the way of sustained trends.
Commodities positioning was a more modest detractor, as profits were limited to long energy exposure which benefitted from a gradual increase in crude oil prices. Offsetting these gains were losses in the agriculture, precious metal and industrial metal markets. Precious metals reacted in sympathy with the choppy fixed income markets, while agriculture and industrial metal markets shared a common sensitivity to waxing and waning trade and tariff tensions which blunted price trends.
We continue to believe that the unique return profile of managed futures may appeal to investors searching for portfolio diversifiers and sources of uncorrelated returns.

The Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest a greater proportion of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified mutual fund and may therefore be subject to greater volatility. The Fund's investment in alternative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly in investments involving leverage.
The use of alternative assets and strategies entails substantial risks, including risk of loss of principal, commodity exposure risks, credit risk, currency risk, derivatives risk, equity exposure risk, exchange-traded notes risk, fixed income risk, foreign securities risk, forwards risk, futures contracts risk, interest rate risk, leveraging risk, market risk, options risk, portfolio turnover risk, repurchase agreements risk, short position risk, speculative exposure risk, structured note risk, subsidiary risk, swap agreements risk, tax risk and U.S. government securities risk. For a detailed discussion of these and other risks, please refer to the Fund's Prospectus, which should be read carefully before investing.

1 Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements reduce expenses for the Fund, without which performance would be lower. The Fund entered into a written contract to limit expenses to 1.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets for Class I shares, 1.55% of the Fund's average daily net assets for Class A shares and 2.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets for Class C shares through at least February 28, 2020. This limit excludes certain expenses, as set forth in the Fund's Prospectus.
2 Total return for the Fund's Class A shares for the reporting period, based on offering price (including maximum sales charge of 5.25%), was (11.83)%. Total return for the Fund's Class C shares for the reporting period, based on redemption value including Contingent Deferred Sales Charge ("CDSC") of 1.00%, was (8.58)%.
3 The Credit Suisse Managed Futures Liquid Index is a broadly diversified futures index currently composed of 14 futures contracts and 4 commodity indices which provide exposure to the asset classes. The Index uses a proprietary quantitative methodology to seek to identify price trends in each of the asset classes over a variety of time horizons. Components of the Index, which may change from time to time, are positioned either long or short based on the price trends within the asset classes determined using the Index's quantitative methodology. The Index does not have transaction costs and investors may not invest directly in the Index.

Returns represent past performance and include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. Past performance cannot guarantee future results. The current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Returns and share price will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. The performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance information current to the most recent month end is available at www.credit-suisse.com/us/funds.
The annual gross expense ratios are 1.33% for Class I shares, 1.58% for Class A shares and 2.34% for Class C shares. The annual net expense ratios after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are 1.30% for Class I shares, 1.55% for Class A shares and 2.30% for Class C shares.
1 Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements reduce expenses for the Fund, without which performance would be lower. The Fund has entered into a written contract to limit expenses to 1.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets for Class I shares, 1.55% of the Fund's average daily net assets for Class A shares and 2.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets for Class C shares through at least February 28, 2020. This limit excludes certain expenses, as set forth in the Fund's Prospectus.

Annual Investment Adviser's Report (continued)

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six months ended October 31, 2018.
The table illustrates your Fund's expenses in two ways:
• Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line.
• Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare the Fund's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds.

Annualized Expense Ratios* | | | 1.30 | % | | | 1.55 | % | | | 2.30 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period.
The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" and the "Annualized Expense Ratios" in the tables are based on actual expenses paid by the Fund during the period, net of fee waivers and/or actual expense reimbursements, if applicable. If those fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements had not been in effect, the Fund's actual expenses would have been higher. Expenses do not reflect additional charges and expenses that are, or may be, imposed under the variable contracts or plans. Such charges and expenses are described in the prospectus of the insurance company separate account or in the plan documents or other informational materials supplied by plan sponsors. The Fund's expenses should be considered with these charges and expenses in evaluating the overall cost of investing in the separate account.
For more information, please refer to the Fund's Prospectus.

Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2018
Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company that seeks to achieve investment results that correspond generally to the risk and return patterns of managed futures funds. The Trust was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a business trust on May 31, 1995.
Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"), the investment adviser to the Fund, is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission and as a Commodity Pool Operator with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing directly and/or indirectly through the Credit Suisse Cayman Managed Futures Strategy Fund, Ltd. (the "Subsidiary"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, in a combination of securities and derivative instruments. The Subsidiary invests in commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as swaps and futures, as well as other types of futures, swaps and options. The Subsidiary may also invest in debt securities, some of which are intended to serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary's derivatives positions.
The Subsidiary is managed by the same portfolio managers that manage the Fund and the accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position of the Fund and the Subsidiary and the results of operations on a consolidated basis. The consolidated financial statements include portfolio holdings of the Fund and the Subsidiary and all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. As of October 31, 2018, the Fund held $15,989,181 in the Subsidiary, representing 5.7% of the Fund's consolidated net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the net realized loss on securities and other financial instruments held in the Subsidiary was $9,053,096.
Subsequent references to the Fund within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements collectively refer to the Fund and the Subsidiary.
The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class I shares, Class A shares and Class C shares. Each class of shares represents an equal pro rata interest in the Fund, except the share classes bear different expenses. Class A shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge of up to 5.25%. Class C shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% if the shares are redeemed within the first year of purchase. Class I shares are sold without a sales charge.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The policies are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 — Financial Services — Investment Companies.
A) SECURITY VALUATION — The Board of Trustees (the "Board") is responsible for the Fund's valuation process. The Board has delegated the supervision of the daily valuation process to Credit Suisse who has established a Pricing Committee which, pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board, is responsible for making fair valuation determinations and overseeing the Fund's pricing policies. The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. The valuations for fixed income securities (which may include, but are not limited to, corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities) and certain derivative instruments are typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. These pricing services generally price fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional "round lot" size, but some trades occur in smaller "odd lot" sizes which may be effected at lower prices than institutional round lot trades. Structured note agreements are valued in accordance with a dealer-supplied valuation based on changes in the value of the underlying index. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Forward contracts are valued at the London closing spot rates and the London closing forward point rates on a daily basis. The currency forward contract pricing model derives the differential in point rates to the expiration date of the forward and calculates its present value. Equity securities for which market

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
quotations are available are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. The Fund may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board to fair value certain securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. If independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by the investment adviser to be unreliable, the market price may be determined by the investment adviser using quotations from one or more brokers/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. When reliable prices are not readily available, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its net asset value, these securities will be fair valued in good faith by the Pricing Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board.
The Fund uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future cash flows to present value.
GAAP established a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at each measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

For the year ended October 31, 2018, there were no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. All transfers, if any, are assumed to occur at the end of the reporting period.
B) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES — The Fund adopted amendments to authoritative guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities which require that a fund disclose (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and hedging activities are accounted for and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedging activities affect a fund's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Fund's derivatives did not qualify for hedge accounting as they are held at fair value.
The following table presents the fair value and the location of derivatives within the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities at October 31, 2018 and the effect of these derivatives on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended October 31, 2018.

The notional amount of futures contracts and swap contracts open at October 31, 2018 is reflected in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Fund held average monthly notional values on a net basis of $776,741,152, $437,352,652 and $130,664,117 in long futures contracts, short futures contracts and swap contracts, respectively.
The Fund is a party to International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") Master Agreements ("Master Agreements") with certain counterparties that govern over-the-counter derivative (including Total Return, Credit Default and Interest Rate Swaps) and foreign exchange contracts entered into by the Fund. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties' general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Termination events applicable to the Fund may occur upon a decline in the Fund's net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time.
The following table presents by counterparty the Fund's derivative assets, net of related collateral held by the Fund, at October 31, 2018:

C) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME/EXPENSE — Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income/expense is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Dividend income/expense is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain expenses are class-specific expenses, vary by class and are charged only to that class. Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of the outstanding shares of that class. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. To the extent any issuer defaults or a credit event occurs that impacts the issuer, the Fund may halt any additional interest income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date of default or credit event.
D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Dividends and distributions to shareholders of the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
E) FEDERAL AND OTHER TAXES — No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
In order to qualify as a RIC under the Code, the Fund must meet certain requirements regarding the source of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its income. One of these requirements is that the Fund derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies or net income derived from interests in certain publicly-traded partnerships ("Qualifying Income"). The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has issued a ruling that income realized from certain types of commodity-linked derivatives would not be Qualifying Income. As a result, the Fund's ability to realize income from investments in such commodity-linked derivatives as part of its investment strategy would be limited to a maximum of 10% of its gross income. The IRS has issued private letter rulings to registered investment companies concluding that income derived from their investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary would constitute Qualifying Income to the fund. The IRS has indicated that the granting of these types of private letter rulings is currently suspended.
22
Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
If the Fund is unable to ensure continued qualification as a RIC, the Fund may be required to change its investment objective, policies or techniques, or may be liquidated. If the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC, the Fund will be subject to federal income tax on its net income and capital gains at regular corporate rates (without reduction for distributions to shareholders). If the Fund were to fail to qualify as a RIC and become subject to federal income tax, shareholders of the Fund would be subject to the risk of diminished returns.
The Fund adopted the authoritative guidance for uncertainty in income taxes and recognizes a tax benefit or liability from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority's widely understood administrative practices and procedures. The Fund has reviewed its current tax positions and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
F) CASH — The Fund's uninvested cash balance is held in an interest bearing variable rate demand deposit account at State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Fund's custodian.
G) FUTURES — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to the extent permitted by its investment policies and objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to or hedge against changes in interest rates, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash and/or pledge U.S. Government securities as initial margin with a Futures Commission Merchant ("FCM"). Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying instrument, are made or received by the Fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. Risks of entering into futures contracts for hedging purposes include the possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying instruments. Futures have minimal counterparty credit risk because futures are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all
23
Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. In addition, the purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit and subsequent payments may be required for a futures transaction. The Fund's open futures contracts are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. At October 31, 2018, the amount of restricted cash held at brokers related to open futures contracts was $19,862,850.
The Commodity Exchange Act requires an FCM to segregate all customer transactions and assets from the FCM's proprietary activities. A customer's cash and other equity deposited with an FCM are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the FCM's segregation requirements. In the event of an FCM's insolvency, recovery may be limited to the Fund's pro-rata share of segregated customer funds available. It is possible that the recovery amount could be less than the total of cash and other equity deposited.
H) SWAPS — The Fund may enter into swap contracts either for hedging purposes or to seek to increase total return. A swap contract is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset or notional principal amount. The Fund will enter into swap contracts only on a net basis, which means that the two payment streams are netted out, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract. The extent of the Fund's exposure to credit and counterparty risks is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract's remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. These risks are mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund's exposure to the counterparty. Therefore, the Fund considers the creditworthiness of each counterparty as well as the amounts posted by the counterparty pursuant to the master netting agreement to a swap contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying reference asset or index.
The Fund may enter into total return swap contracts, involving commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional
24
Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
amounts. The Fund may invest in total return swap contracts for hedging purposes or to seek to increase total return. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.
The Fund records unrealized gains or losses on a daily basis representing the value and the current net receivable or payable relating to open swap contracts. Net amounts received or paid on the swap contract are recorded as realized gains or losses. Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation from swap contracts. Realized gains and losses from terminated swaps are included in net realized gains/losses from swap contracts. The Fund's open swap contracts are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. At October 31, 2018, the amount of restricted cash held at brokers related to open swap contracts was $0.
I) SECURITIES LENDING — The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 102% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund, or excess collateral returned by the Fund, on the next business day. Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse and may be invested in a variety of investments, including funds advised by SSB, the Fund's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
SSB has been engaged by the Fund to act as the Fund's securities lending agent. The Fund's securities lending arrangement provides that the Fund and SSB will share the net income earned from securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned. At October 31, 2018 and during the year ended October 31, 2018, there were no securities out on loan.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
J) OTHER — In the normal course of business the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions for which risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). Similar to credit risk, the Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, including securities lending, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The extent of the Fund's exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded in the Fund's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
K) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS — In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization On Purchased Callable Debt Securities ("ASU 2017-08"). The update shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these changes to future financial statements.
Also, in August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"). The update provides guidance that eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these changes to future financial statements.
L) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS — In preparing the financial statements as of October 31, 2018, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements through the date of release of this report. No such events requiring recognition or disclosure were identified through the date of the release of this report.

For the year ended October 31, 2018, investment advisory and administration fees earned and fees waived/expenses reimbursed by Credit Suisse were $3,304,684 and $109,708, respectively.

The Fund is authorized to reimburse Credit Suisse for management fees previously limited and/or for expenses previously reimbursed by Credit Suisse, provided, however, that any reimbursements must be paid at a date not more than three years after the end of the fiscal year during which such fees were limited or expenses were reimbursed by Credit Suisse and the reimbursements do not cause the Fund to exceed the applicable expense limitation in the contract at the time the fees are recouped. This contract may not be terminated before May 1, 2020.
The amounts waived and reimbursed by Credit Suisse, which are available for potential future recoupment by Credit Suisse, and the expiration schedule at October 31, 2018 are as follows:

For its co-administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon the relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio, subject to an annual minimum fee. For the year ended October 31, 2018, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) with respect to the Fund were $44,097.
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC ("CSSU"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, serves as the distributor of the Fund's shares. Pursuant to a distribution plan adopted by the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, CSSU receives fees for its distribution services. These fees are calculated at an annual rate of

Class I shares are not subject to Rule 12b-1 distribution fees.
Certain brokers, dealers and financial representatives provide transfer agent-related services to the Fund and receive compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Fund paid $190,671, which is included within transfer agent fees in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, CSSU and its affiliates earned no commissions on the sale of the Fund's Class A and Class C shares.
Note 4. Line of Credit
The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility"), with SSB in an aggregated amount of $250 million for temporary or emergency purposes under a first-come, first-served basis. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at either the Overnight Federal Funds rate or the Overnight LIBOR rate plus a spread. At October 31, 2018 and during the year ended October 31, 2018, the Fund had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Note 7 . Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
The tax character of distributions paid by the Fund during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was as follows:
Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gain | |
2018 | | 2017 | | 2018 | | 2017 | |
$ | — | | | $ | 2,100,180 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,547,400 | | |
The tax basis components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of futures contracts marked to market and offering expenses. At October 31, 2018, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Accumulated net realized loss | | $ | (13,912,274 | ) | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 5,120,897 | | |
| | $ | (8,791,377 | ) | |
At October 31, 2018, the Fund had $4,324,334 of unlimited short-term capital loss carryforwards and $9,587,940 of unlimited long-term capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains.
At October 31, 2018, the cost and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and derivatives for income tax purposes were as follows:
Cost of Investments | | $ | 175,021,997 | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 14,619,632 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (9,343,871 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | | $ | 5,275,761 | | |
To adjust for current period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency gain/loss and Subsidiary cumulative income/loss, paid-in capital was charged $11,977,787, and distributable earnings/loss was credited $11,977,787. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
Note 8. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds, including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the "consolidated financial statements") and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund as of October 31, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2014 were audited by other independent registered public accountants whose report, dated December 29, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
31
Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (continued)
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC investment companies since 2015.

Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund
Annual Investment Adviser's Report
October 31, 2018 (unaudited)
November 23, 2018
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this Annual Report covering the activities of the Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund (the "Fund") for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2018.
Performance Summary
11/1/2017 – 10/31/2018(a)
Fund & Benchmark | | Performance | |
Class I1 | | | -0.29 | % | |
Class A1,2 | | | -0.68 | % | |
Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index3 | | | -0.45 | % | |
Credit Suisse Liquid Alternative Beta Index4 | | | -2.43 | % | |
Performance shown for the Fund's Class A shares does not reflect sales charges, which are a maximum of 5.25%.2
Market Review: A disappointing period for multialternative strategies
The annual period ended October 31, 2018 was a challenging one for multialternative strategies. The Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index, the Fund's primary benchmark, returned -0.45%, while the Credit Suisse Liquid Alternative Beta Index returned -2.43%.
Within the hedge fund space, fixed income arbitrage strategies generated the strongest performance, as they benefitted from changing inflation expectations, asynchronous central banking policy and an elevated level of interest rate volatility.
Emerging markets (EM) focused funds suffered most, as smaller currency carry differentials and a rising U.S. Dollar (USD) reduced investor appetite for EM assets.
Managed futures funds also struggled during the period, as price trend reversals were common, particularly in the equity and fixed income markets. Aside from the upward trend of the USD, persistent, exploitable trends were scarce.
(a) Class C performance for the period November 1, 2017 through February 14, 2018 was 0.85%. As of February 15, 2018, Class C has no shareholders.

The Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund is designed to provide investors with efficient exposure to a variety of investment strategies spanning a broad range of markets and asset classes.
For the annual period ended October 31, 2018, the Fund's Class I shares outperformed its benchmarks. While the Fund experienced detractions in EM and managed futures strategies, larger exposure to profitable fixed income strategies led to the relative outperformance.
From an asset class attribution standpoint, profits were headlined by fixed income strategies, followed by equity and commodity strategies. Volatility, FX, and multi-asset strategies all detracted from Fund performance.
Within fixed income, carry and trend/momentum strategies were the most profitable styles. Carry strategies exploited the slope and curvature features of developed market yield curves, while trend/momentum strategy profits centered on the sharp upward move in short-term funding rates at the beginning of the year.
Value exposures in commodities also contributed meaningfully to Fund performance. Sources of gains included relative value positions in fundamentally linked commodity pairs, as well as positions designed to capture price reversion associated with speculative positioning dynamics across the commodity complex.
Consistent with the contours of hedge fund performance described above, the Fund's multi-asset trend/momentum strategies suffered losses as persistent, exploitable trends were scarce and many markets exhibited frequent, sharp reversals.
The Fund's FX value strategies incurred losses as EM currencies persistently trended lower in the face of flaring trade tensions and higher USD interest rates. Volatility liquidity/insurance strategies accounted for the Fund's largest losses over the period, following the reversal of historically low levels of realized volatility in equity markets.

The Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest a greater proportion of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified mutual fund

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six months ended October 31, 2018.
The table illustrates your Fund's expenses in two ways:
• Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line.
• Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare the Fund's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period.
The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" and the "Annualized Expense Ratios" in the tables are based on actual expenses paid by the Fund during the period, net of fee waivers and/or actual expense reimbursements, if applicable. If those fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements had not been in effect, the Fund's actual expenses would have been higher. Expenses do not reflect additional charges and expenses that are, or may be, imposed under the variable contracts or plans. Such charges and expenses are described in the prospectus of the insurance company separate account or in the plan documents or other informational materials supplied by plan sponsors. The Fund's expenses should be considered with these charges and expenses in evaluating the overall cost of investing in the separate account.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2018
Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company that seeks to achieve total return consistent with the risk and return patterns of a diversified universe of hedge funds. The Trust was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a business trust on May 31, 1995.
Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"), the investment adviser to the Fund, is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission and as a Commodity Pool Operator with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The Fund intends to gain exposure to commodity derivatives through investing in a wholly-owned subsidiary, Credit Suisse Cayman Multialternative Strategy Fund, Ltd. (the "Subsidiary"), organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Subsidiary invests in commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as swaps and futures. The Subsidiary may also invest in debt securities, some of which are intended to serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary's derivatives positions.
The Subsidiary is managed by the same portfolio managers that manage the Fund and the accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position of the Fund and the Subsidiary and the results of operations on a consolidated basis. The consolidated financial statements include portfolio holdings of the Fund and the Subsidiary and all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. As of October 31, 2018, the Fund held $9,214,784 in the Subsidiary, representing 8.7% of the Fund's consolidated net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the net realized loss on securities and other financial instruments held in the Subsidiary was $390,176.
Subsequent references to the Fund within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements collectively refer to the Fund and the Subsidiary.
The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class I shares, Class A shares and Class C shares. Each class of shares represents an equal pro rata interest in the Fund, except the share classes bear different expenses. Class A shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge of up to 5.25%. Class C shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% if the shares are redeemed within the first year of purchase. Class I shares are sold without a sales charge. Class C was redeemed on February 15, 2018 and currently has no shareholders.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of itsconsolidated financial statements. The policies are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 — Financial Services — Investment Companies.
A) SECURITY VALUATION — The Board of Trustees (the "Board") is responsible for the Fund's valuation process. The Board has delegated the supervision of the daily valuation process to Credit Suisse who has established a Pricing Committee which, pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board, is responsible for making fair valuation determinations and overseeing the Fund's pricing policies. The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. For certain international equity securities, in order to adjust for events which may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the close of the Exchange, a fair valuation model may be used. This fair valuation model takes into account comparisons to the valuation of American Depository Receipts (ADRs), exchange-traded funds, futures contracts and certain indices and these securities are categorized as Level 2. The valuations for fixed income securities (which may include, but are not limited to, corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities) and certain derivative instruments are typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. These pricing services generally price fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional "round lot" size, but some trades occur in smaller "odd lot" sizes which may be effected at lower prices than institutional round lot trades. Structured note agreements are valued in accordance with a dealer-supplied valuation based on changes in the value of the underlying index. Option contracts on securities, currencies, indices, futures contracts, swaps and

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
other instruments are valued at the mid-point between the last bid and ask quotations as of the close of trading on the exchange on which the option is traded. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Forward contracts are valued at the London closing spot rates and the London closing forward point rates on a daily basis. The currency forward contract pricing model derives the differential in point rates to the expiration date of the forward and calculates its present value. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. The Fund may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board to fair value certain securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. If independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by the investment adviser to be unreliable, the market price may be determined by the investment adviser using quotations from one or more brokers/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. When reliable prices are not readily available, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its net asset value, these securities will be fair valued in good faith by the Pricing Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board.
The Fund uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future cash flows to present value.
GAAP established a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at each measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2018 in valuing the Fund's assets and liabilities carried at fair value:

* Other financial instruments include unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts, futures and swap contracts. Purchased options and written options are reported at value.
** Value includes any premium paid or received with respect to swap contracts, if applicable.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, there were no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. All transfers, if any, are assumed to occur at the end of the reporting period.
B) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES — The Fund adopted amendments to authoritative guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities which require that a fund disclose (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and hedging activities are accounted for and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedging activities affect a fund's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Fund's derivatives did not qualify for hedge accounting as they are held at fair value.

For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Fund held average monthly value on a net basis of $44,170,943 in forward foreign currency contracts and average monthly notional values on a net basis of $113,187,930 and $108,911,023 in long futures contracts and short futures contracts and $195,139,530 in swap contracts, respectively. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Fund received average monthly premiums of $375,167 from written options contracts.
The Fund is a party to International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") Master Agreements ("Master Agreements") with certain counterparties that govern over-the-counter derivative (including Total Return, Credit Default and Interest Rate Swaps) and foreign exchange contracts entered into by the Fund. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties' general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Termination events applicable to the Fund may occur upon a decline in the Fund's net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time.

(a) Swap contracts, written options and forward foreign currency exchange contracts are included. Written options are reported at market value.
(b) The actual collateral pledged may be more than the amounts shown.
C) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, including purchases and sales of investments, and income and expenses, are translated into US dollar amounts on the date of those transactions.
Reported net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency transactions arises from sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts
35
Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
actually received or paid. Net change in unrealized gains and losses on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arises from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments, at the end of the period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
D) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME/EXPENSE — Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income/expense is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Dividend income/expense is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Certain expenses are class-specific expenses, vary by class and are charged only to that class. Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of the outstanding shares of that class. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. To the extent any issuer defaults or a credit event occurs that impacts the issuer, the Fund may halt any additional interest income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date of default or credit event.
E) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Dividends and distributions to shareholders of the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
F) FEDERAL AND OTHER TAXES — No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
36
Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
"Code"), and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
In order to qualify as a RIC under the Code, the Fund must meet certain requirements regarding the source of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its income. One of these requirements is that the Fund derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies or net income derived from interests in certain publicly-traded partnerships ("Qualifying Income"). The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has issued a ruling that income realized from certain types of commodity-linked derivatives would not be Qualifying Income. As a result, the Fund's ability to realize income from investments in such commodity-linked derivatives as part of its investment strategy would be limited to a maximum of 10% of its gross income. The IRS has issued private letter rulings to registered investment companies concluding that income derived from their investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary would constitute Qualifying Income to the fund. The IRS has indicated that the granting of these types of private letter rulings is currently suspended.
If the Fund is unable to ensure continued qualification as a RIC, the Fund may be required to change its investment objective, policies or techniques, or may be liquidated. If the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC, the Fund will be subject to federal income tax on its net income and capital gains at regular corporate rates (without reduction for distributions to shareholders). If the Fund were to fail to qualify as a RIC and become subject to federal income tax, shareholders of the Fund would be subject to the risk of diminished returns. The Fund adopted the authoritative guidance for uncertainty in income taxes and recognizes a tax benefit or liability from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority's widely understood administrative practices and procedures. The Fund has reviewed its current tax positions and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

G) CASH — The Fund's uninvested cash balance is held in an interest bearing variable rate demand deposit account at State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Fund's custodian.
H) SHORT SALES — When the Fund engages in a short sale, the collateral for the short position will be maintained by the Fund's custodian or qualified sub-custodian. While the short sale is open, the Fund will maintain in a segregated account an amount of liquid securities equal in value to its obligation to the securities sold short. The collateral amounts required are determined daily by reference to the market value of the short positions. Short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will be required to cover its short position at a time when the securities have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. The Fund's loss on a short sale could theoretically be unlimited in a case where the Fund is unable, for whatever reason, to close out its short position. Short sales also involve transaction and other costs that will reduce potential gains and increase potential Fund losses. The use by the Fund of short sales in combination with long positions in the Fund in an attempt to improve performance may not be successful and may result in greater losses or lower positive returns than if the Fund held only long positions. It is possible that the Fund's long equity positions will decline in value at the same time that the value of the securities it has sold short increases, thereby increasing potential losses to the Fund. In addition, the Fund's short selling strategies may limit its ability to fully benefit from increases in the equity markets. Short selling also involves a form of financial leverage that may exaggerate any losses realized by the Fund. Also, there is the risk that the counterparty to a short sale may fail to honor its contractual terms, causing a loss to the Fund. At October 31, 2018, the amount of restricted cash held at brokers related to open short positions was $0.
I) FUTURES — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to the extent permitted by its investment policies and objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to or hedge against changes in interest rates, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash and/or pledge U.S. Government securities as initial margin with a Futures Commission Merchant ("FCM"). Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying instrument, are made or received by the Fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal
38
Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. Risks of entering into futures contracts for hedging purposes include the possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying instruments. Futures have minimal counterparty credit risk because futures are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. In addition, the purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit and subsequent payments may be required for a futures transaction. The Fund's open futures contracts are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. At October 31, 2018, the amount of restricted cash held at brokers related to open futures contracts was $3,866,863.
The Commodity Exchange Act requires an FCM to segregate all customer transactions and assets from the FCM's proprietary activities. A customer's cash and other equity deposited with an FCM are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the FCM's segregation requirements. In the event of an FCM's insolvency, recovery may be limited to the Fund's pro-rata share of segregated customer funds available. It is possible that the recovery amount could be less than the total of cash and other equity deposited.
J) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS — A forward foreign currency exchange contract ("forward currency contract") is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at the settlement date at a negotiated rate. The Fund will enter into forward currency contracts primarily for hedging foreign currency risk. Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and unrealized gain/loss is recorded daily. On the settlement date of the forward currency contract, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was closed. Certain risks may arise upon entering into forward currency contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The maximum counterparty credit risk to the Fund is measured by the unrealized gain on appreciated contracts. Additionally, when utilizing forward currency contracts to hedge, the Fund forgoes the opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract. The Fund's open forward currency contracts at October 31, 2018 are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
39
Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
K) SWAPS — The Fund may enter into swaps either for hedging purposes or to seek to increase total return. A swap contract is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset or notional principal amount. A centrally cleared swap is a transaction executed between the Fund and a counterparty, then cleared by a clearing member through a central clearinghouse. The central clearinghouse serves as the counterparty, with whom the Fund exchanges cash flows. The Fund will enter into swap contracts only on a net basis, which means that the two payment streams are netted out, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract. The extent of the Fund's exposure to credit and counterparty risks is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract's remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. These risks are mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund's exposure to the counterparty. Therefore, the Fund considers the creditworthiness of each counterparty as well as the amounts posted by the counterparty pursuant to the master netting agreement to a swap contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying reference asset or index.
The Fund may enter into total return swap contracts, involving commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. The Fund may invest in total return swap contracts for hedging purposes or to seek to increase total return. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.
The Fund may enter into credit default swap agreements either as a buyer or seller. The Fund may buy a credit default swap to attempt to mitigate the risk of default or credit quality deterioration in one or more individual holdings or in a segment of the fixed income securities market. The Fund may sell a credit default swap in an attempt to gain exposure to an underlying issuer's credit quality characteristics without investing directly in that issuer.
40
Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a credit default swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the counterparty. The Fund will enter into swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness (generally, such counterparties would have to be eligible counterparties under the terms of the Fund's repurchase agreement guidelines). Credit default swap agreements are generally valued at a price at which the counterparty to such agreement would terminate the agreement.
The Fund records unrealized gains or losses on a daily basis representing the value and the current net receivable or payable relating to open swap contracts. Net amounts received or paid on the swap contract are recorded as realized gains or losses. Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation from swap contracts. Realized gains and losses from terminated swaps are included in net realized gains/losses from swap contracts. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit with a financial intermediary cash or securities ("initial margin") in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount of the swap. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by the Fund dependent upon the daily fluctuations in the value of the swap. In a cleared swap transaction, counterparty risk is minimized as the central clearinghouse acts as the counterparty. The Fund's open swap contracts are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. At October 31, 2018, the amounts of restricted cash held at brokers related to open swap contracts and centrally cleared swaps for the Fund were $39,413,762 and $0, respectively.
L) OPTION CONTRACTS — The Fund will enter into options contracts to gain exposure to risk volatility based assets. When the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and the option is subsequently marked to market to reflect current value. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the cost or deducted from the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium paid.
When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value. Net premiums received for written options which expire are treated as realized gains. Net premiums received for written options which are exercised or closed are deducted from the cost or
41
Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
added to the proceeds on the underlying instrument or closing purchase transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Fund, as writer of a written option, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option.
Exchange-traded options have standardized contracts and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment guaranteed by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Fund are limited. Over-the-counter options are subject to the risk that the counterparty is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the option. The Fund's exchange-traded written options are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. At October 31, 2018, the amount of restricted cash held at brokers related to option contracts was $0.
M) SECURITIES LENDING — The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 102% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund, or excess collateral returned by the Fund, on the next business day. Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse and may be invested in a variety of investments, including funds advised by SSB, the Fund's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
SSB has been engaged by the Fund to act as the Fund's securities lending agent. As of October 31, 2018, the Fund had investment securities on loan with a fair value of $2,946,189. Collateral received for securities loaned and a related liability of $3,047,959 are presented gross in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The collateral for securities loaned is valued consistently to the other investments held by the Fund and is included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of October 31, 2018, the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned.
42
Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
During the year ended October 31, 2018, total earnings from the Fund's investment in cash collateral received in connection with securities lending arrangements was $45,017, of which $19,781 was rebated to borrowers (brokers). The Fund retained $18,925 in income from the cash collateral investment, and SSB, as lending agent, was paid $6,311. Securities lending income is accrued as earned.
N) OTHER — In the normal course of business the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions for which risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). Similar to credit risk, the Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, including securities lending, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The extent of the Fund's exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded in the Fund's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
O) FOREIGN INVESTMENTS RISK — The Fund may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the U.S. due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.
Because the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in these markets, it is subject to greater risks of adverse events that occur in those markets and may experience greater volatility than a Fund that is more broadly diversified geographically.
P) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS — In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization On Purchased Callable Debt Securities ("ASU 2017-08").

Also, in August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"). The update provides guidance that eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

Note 7. Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
The tax character of dividends paid by the Fund during the years ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was as follows:
Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gain | |
2018 | | 2017 | | 2018 | | 2017 | |
$ | 4,589,753 | | | $ | 1,562,939 | | | $ | 160,247 | | | $ | 915,803 | | |
The tax basis components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, mark to market of forward contracts, futures contracts, swap contracts, options contracts and deferred organizational
47

Note 7. Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders (continued)
expenses. At October 31, 2018, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed net investment income | | $ | 1,769,476 | | |
Accumulated net realized gain | | | 120,544 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (1,570,530 | ) | |

Unrealized depreciation | | | (12,612,531) | | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | | $ | (1,515,540 | ) | |
To adjust for current period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency gain/loss, ordinary loss netting to reduce short-term capital gains and swap gain/loss, paid-in capital was charged $573,838, and distributable earnings/loss was credited $573,838. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
Note 8. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds, including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the "consolidated financial statements") and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund as of October 31, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2014 were audited by other independent registered public accountants whose report, dated December 29, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial

highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC investment companies since 2015.

Annual Investment Adviser's Report
October 31, 2018 (unaudited)
November 23, 2018
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this Annual Report covering the activities of the Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund (the "Fund") for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2018.
Performance Summary
11/1/2017 – 10/31/18
Fund & Benchmark | | Performance | |
Class I1 | | | 2.34 | % | |
Class A1,2 | | | 2.09 | % | |
Class C1,2 | | | 1.33 | % | |
ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index3 | | | 1.68 | % | |
Performance shown for the Fund's Class A and Class C Shares does not reflect sales charges, which are a maximum of 4.75% and 1.00%, respectively.2
Market Review: A mixed period overall
The annual period ended October 31, 2018 was a mixed one for the U.S. high yield and senior secured loan asset classes, with the ICE BofAML US High Yield Constrained Index returning 0.81%, while the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index returned 4.89% for the period. In comparison, the ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the "Benchmark"), the Fund's benchmark, returned 1.68% for the same period.
For the most part, supply and demand dynamics have been positive for the high yield asset class as light primary issuance has more than offset significant outflows from high yield mutual funds. Leveraged loan technicals have also been positive, though due to different factors. Leveraged loan mutual funds experienced a net inflow of $12.41 billion, which includes 10 consecutive months of positive flows through October. Additionally, CLO creation was robust with gross issuance of $275 billion that includes $130 billion in new vehicles, according to JPMorgan.
Default activity has been low compared to historical data points and as of October 31, 2018, the trailing 12-month default rate (including distressed exchanges) was 2.04% for high yield and 1.92% for senior secured loans.

Strategic Review and Outlook: Expecting broad-based demand to remain intact
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2018, the Fund's I and A Class Shares outperformed the Benchmark. The Fund's outperformance is largely due to positive security selection within the senior secured loan and CLO asset classes. From a ratings perspective, B-rated positions contributed the most to returns.
We expect to see volatility in the near term due to investor concerns over the economic and credit cycle, recent LBO issuance, trade tensions, Brexit and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Over the long term, we continue to be constructive on the leveraged loan market given the stable economic backdrop and senior secured and floating rate features of the asset class. We expect continued weakness and volatility in the high yield market until we see a stabilization in interest rates. We expect this volatility to provide attractive entry points into both the loan and high yield asset classes.

Senior secured floating rate loans ("Senior Loans") typically hold the most senior position in the issuer's capital structure. Senior Loans are subject to the risk that a court could subordinate a Senior Loan to presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of Senior Loans.
High yield bonds are bonds rated below BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody's that are also known as "junk bonds." Such bonds entail greater risks than those found in higher-rated securities.
CLOs are subject to the risk of substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease of market value due to collateral defaults and disappearance of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults, and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class. The risks of CLOs depend largely on the type of the underlying loans and the tranche of CLOs in which the Fund invests. In addition, CLOs carry risks including interest rate risk and credit risk.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six months ended October 31, 2018.
The table illustrates your Fund's expenses in two ways:
• Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line.
• Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare the Fund's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds.

Annualized Expense Ratios* | | | 0.99 | % | | | 1.24 | % | | | 1.99 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period.
The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" and the "Annualized Expense Ratios" in the tables are based on actual expenses paid by the Fund during the period, net of fee waivers and/or actual expense reimbursements, if applicable. If those fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements had not been in effect, the Fund's actual expenses would have been higher. Expenses do not reflect additional charges and expenses that are, or may be, imposed under the variable contracts or plans. Such charges and expenses are described in the prospectus of the insurance company separate account or in the plan documents or other informational materials supplied by plan sponsors. The Fund's expenses should be considered with these charges and expenses in evaluating the overall cost of investing in the separate account.
For more information, please refer to the Fund's Prospectus.

Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2018
Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company that seeks total return. The Trust was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a business trust on May 31, 1995.
The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class I shares, Class A shares and Class C shares. Each class of shares represents an equal pro rata interest in the Fund, except the share classes bear different expenses. Class A shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75%. Class C shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% if the shares are redeemed within the first year of purchase. Class I shares are sold without a sales charge.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 — Financial Services — Investment Companies.
A) SECURITY VALUATION — The Board of Trustees (the "Board") is responsible for the Fund's valuation process. The Board has delegated the supervision of the daily valuation process to Credit Suisse who has established a Pricing Committee which, pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board, is responsible for making fair valuation determinations and overseeing the Fund's pricing policies. The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. The valuations for fixed income securities (which may include, but are not limited to, corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities) and certain derivative instruments are typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which
40
Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. These pricing services generally price fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional "round lot" size, but some trades occur in smaller "odd lot" sizes which may be effected at lower prices than institutional round lot trades. Structured note agreements are valued in accordance with a dealer-supplied valuation based on changes in the value of the underlying index. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Forward contracts are valued at the London closing spot rates and the London closing forward point rates on a daily basis. The currency forward contract pricing model derives the differential in point rates to the expiration date of the forward and calculates its present value. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. The Fund may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board to fair value certain securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. If independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by the investment adviser to be unreliable, the market price may be determined by the investment adviser using quotations from one or more brokers/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. When reliable prices are not readily available, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its net asset value, these securities will be fair valued in good faith by the Pricing Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board.
The Fund uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future cash flows to present value.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
GAAP established a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at each measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2018 in valuing the Fund's assets and liabilities carried at fair value:
Assets | | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total | |

Each fair value determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, including both observable and unobservable inputs. Observable and unobservable inputs that Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC, the Fund's investment adviser ("Credit Suisse" or the "Adviser") considers may include (i) the existence of any contractual restrictions on the disposition of securities; (ii) information obtained from the company, which may include an analysis of the company's financial statements, the company's products or intended markets or the company's technologies; (iii) the price of the same or similar security negotiated at arm's length in an issuer's completed subsequent round of financing; (iv) the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; or (v) a probability and time value adjusted analysis of contractual term. Where available and appropriate, multiple valuation methodologies are applied to confirm fair value. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, determining fair value requires more judgment. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Fund in determining fair value is greatest for
43
Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
investments categorized in Level 3. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the least observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different from the valuations used at the date of these financial statements.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, but there was $273,271 transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a lack of a pricing source supported by observable inputs and $5,734,726 transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as a result of the availability of a pricing source supported by observable inputs. All transfers, if any, are assumed to occur at the end of the reporting period.
B) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES — The Fund adopted amendments to authoritative guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities which require that a fund disclose (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and hedging activities are accounted for and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedging activities affect a fund's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Fund's derivatives did not qualify for hedge accounting as they are held at fair value.
The following table presents the fair value and the location of derivatives within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at October 31, 2018 and the effect of these derivatives on the Statement of Operations for the year ended October 31, 2018.
Primary Underlying Risk | | Derivative Assets | | Derivative Liabilities | | Realized Gain (Loss) | | Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
Foreign currency exchange rate | |
Forward contracts | | $ | 45,835 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 14,609 | | | $ | 12,466 | | |
For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Fund held an average monthly value on a net basis of $5,688,828 in forward foreign currency contracts.
The Fund is a party to International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") Master Agreements ("Master Agreements") with certain counterparties that govern over-the-counter derivative (including Total Return, Credit Default and Interest Rate Swaps) and foreign exchange contracts entered into by the Fund. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding,
44
Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
among other things, the parties' general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Termination events applicable to the Fund may occur upon a decline in the Fund's net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time.
The following table presents by counterparty the Fund's derivative assets, net of related collateral held by the Fund, at October 31, 2018:
Counterparty | | Gross Amount of Presented in Statement of Assets and Liabilities(a) | | Instruments and Derivatives Available for Offset | | Non-Cash Collateral Received | | Derivative Assets Cash Collateral Received | | Financial Net Amount of Derivative Assets | |
Morgan Stanley | | $ | 45,835 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 45,835 | | |
(a) Forward foreign currency contracts are included.
C) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, including purchases and sales of investments, and income and expenses, are translated into US dollar amounts on the date of those transactions.
Reported net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency transactions arises from sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net change in unrealized gains and losses on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arises from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments, at the end of the period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations.
D) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME/EXPENSE — Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income/expense is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Dividend income/expense is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain expenses are
45
Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
class-specific expenses, vary by class and are charged only to that class. Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of the outstanding shares of that class. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. To the extent any issuer defaults or a credit event occurs that impacts the issuer, the Fund may halt any additional interest income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date of default or credit event.
E) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Dividends and distributions to shareholders of the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
F) FEDERAL AND OTHER TAXES — No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
In order to qualify as a RIC under the Code, the Fund must meet certain requirements regarding the source of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its income. One of these requirements is that the Fund derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies or net income derived from interests in certain publicly-traded partnerships ("Qualifying Income"). The Fund adopted the authoritative guidance for uncertainty in income taxes and recognizes a tax benefit or liability from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority's widely understood administrative practices and procedures. The Fund has reviewed its current tax positions and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired

are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
G) CASH — The Fund's uninvested cash balance is held in an interest bearing variable rate demand deposit account at State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Fund's custodian.
H) FUTURES — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to the extent permitted by its investment policies and objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to or hedge against changes in interest rates, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash and/or pledge U.S. Government securities as initial margin with a Futures Commission Merchant ("FCM"). Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying instrument, are made or received by the Fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. Risks of entering into futures contracts for hedging purposes include the possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying instruments. Futures have minimal counterparty credit risk because futures are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. In addition, the purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit and subsequent payments may be required for a futures transaction. The Fund's open futures contracts are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. At October 31, 2018, the Fund had no open futures contracts.
The Commodity Exchange Act requires an FCM to segregate all customer transactions and assets from the FCM's proprietary activities. A customer's cash and other equity deposited with an FCM are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the FCM's segregation requirements. In the event of an FCM's insolvency, recovery may be limited to the Fund's pro-rata share of segregated customer funds available. It is possible that the recovery amount could be less than the total of cash and other equity deposited.
I) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS — A forward foreign currency exchange contract ("forward currency contract") is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at the settlement date at a negotiated rate. The Fund will enter into forward currency contracts primarily for hedging
47
Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
foreign currency risk. Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and unrealized gain/loss is recorded daily. On the settlement date of the forward currency contract, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was closed. Certain risks may arise upon entering into forward currency contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The maximum counterparty credit risk to the Fund is measured by the unrealized gain on appreciated contracts. Additionally, when utilizing forward currency contracts to hedge, the Fund forgoes the opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract. The Fund's open forward currency contracts at October 31, 2018 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
J) UNFUNDED LOAN COMMITMENTS — The Fund enters into certain agreements, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these loan commitments at the borrowers' discretion. Funded and unfunded portions of credit agreements are presented on the Statement of Investments. As of October 31, 2018, unfunded commitments were as follows:
Borrower | | Maturity | | Rate | | Unfunded Commitment | |
Bulldog Purchaser, Inc. | | 08/22/25 | | | 1.875 | | | $ | 433,528 | | |
Unfunded loan commitments and funded portions of credit agreements are marked to market daily and any unrealized appreciation or depreciation is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations.
K) SECURITIES LENDING — The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 102% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund, or excess collateral returned by the Fund, on the next business day. Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse and may be invested in a variety of investments, including funds advised by SSB, the Fund's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party

Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
SSB has been engaged by the Fund to act as the Fund's securities lending agent. The Fund's securities lending arrangement provides that the Fund and SSB will share the net income earned from securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned. At October 31, 2018 and during the year ended October 31, 2018, there were no securities out on loan.
L) OTHER — The high yield, fixed income securities in which the Fund invests will primarily consist of senior secured floating rate loans ("Senior Loans") issued by non-investment grade companies. Senior Loans are typically secured by specific collateral of the issuer and hold the most senior position in the issuer's capital structure. The interest rate on Senior Loans is periodically adjusted to a recognized base rate, typically the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). While these characteristics may reduce interest rate risk and mitigate losses in the event of borrower default, the Senior Loans in which the Fund invests have below investment grade credit ratings and thereby are considered speculative because of the significant credit risk of their issuers.
Lower-rated debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds") possess speculative characteristics and are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of lost income and principal than higher-rated debt securities for a variety of reasons. Also, during an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which would adversely affect their ability to service their principal and interest payment obligations, to meet projected business goals and to obtain additional financing.
In addition, periods of economic uncertainty and changes can be expected to result in increased volatility of market prices of lower-rated debt securities and the Fund's net asset value.
M) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS — In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization On Purchased Callable Debt Securities ("ASU 2017-08"). The update shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these changes to future financial statements.

Also, in August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"). The update provides guidance that eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these changes to future financial statements.
N) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS — In preparing the financial statements as of October 31, 2018, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements through the date of release of this report. No such events requiring recognition or disclosure were identified through the date of the release of this report.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
The tax character of dividends paid by the Fund during the years ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2018, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the "financial statements") and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund as of October 31, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2014 were audited by other independent registered public accountants whose report, dated December 29, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our
55

audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
