FS Credit Income Fund Announces Distribution Rate Increase for June 2024

PHILADELPHIA, June 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- FS Investments, a leading alternative asset manager with over $79 billion in assets under management, today announced that FS Credit Income Fund will increase its distribution for all share classes. The increase will be effective with the payment of the monthly distribution on or about June 30, 2024. FS Credit Income Fund, or the Fund, is an alternative credit strategy sub-advised by GoldenTree Asset Management, an employee-owned asset management firm with approximately $55 billion in assets under management and a 23-plus-year track record.

The annualized distribution rate for Class I shares will increase to approximately 8.54% based on the NAV per Class I share as of May 31, 2024, representing an approximate 9% increase to the distribution rate for Class I shares.¹ This is the Fund's third distribution rate increase since April 2023 and the total increase is 41% over that period. More information regarding the distribution rate increase can be found in the Form 8-K filed on June 6, 2024.

"Our goal at FS Investments is to deliver innovative alternative investment solutions for diversified portfolio construction. We are pleased to deliver enhanced income to our shareholders through this third distribution increase," said Michael Forman, Chairman and CEO of FS Investments. 

Lee Kruter, Partner and Head of Performing Credit at GoldenTree, noted "GoldenTree has consistently delivered top quartile performance over nearly 25 years across its opportunistic credit strategies. We are well positioned through active and dynamic management of the FS Credit Income Fund to continue delivering differentiated performance with a high degree of current income."

FS Credit Income Fund is an opportunistic, alternative credit solution. The Fund invests across a broad set of high-yielding asset classes, sectors and capital structures to capture the best relative value opportunities in event-driven and opportunistic credit to seek to generate an attractive level of income and capital appreciation.

The Fund leverages GoldenTree's expertise in credit to invest in performing credit opportunities that are often outside the scope of traditional, liquid strategies and market indexes, including structured credit, non-rated assets, issuers outside of the U.S and other idiosyncratic opportunities.
