, closed-end funds, BDCs, ETFs, and other Underlying Funds. The Fund
may obtain exposure to private credit and private asset-backed securities indirectly by investing in Underlying Funds, including Underlying Funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund may also invest in any combination of the following: (i) structured products that do not provide
long or short exposure to other credit obligations; (ii) swaps and other derivative instruments (including total return, index and interest rate swaps, options, warrants, forward contracts, futures contracts and options on futures contracts)
that do not provide long or short exposure to other credit obligations; (iii) foreign currencies and foreign currency derivatives (including foreign currency related swaps, futures contracts and forward contracts) acquired for the purpose of
hedging the currency risk arising from the credit obligations in the Fund’s portfolio; and (iv) equity securities obtained through the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable instruments, debt restructurings or bankruptcy
proceedings and hedges on such positions. Structured products, swaps and other derivative instruments that do not provide long or short exposure to other credit obligations are those instruments whose reference or underlying assets or indices are
not credit obligations or indices of credit obligations. Examples of such instruments include equity- and commodity-linked notes, total return swaps based on the value of an equity security and commodity futures contracts. The Fund may invest in
such instruments in order, for example, (i) to seek current income or capital appreciation or (ii) to reduce the Fund’s exposure solely to credit obligations. The Adviser believes that the flexibility afforded by being able to invest
in such instruments may benefit the Fund by (i) allowing the Fund to invest in potentially attractive investment opportunities that are not credit obligations and (ii) increasing the mix of instruments in the Fund’s portfolio which
could reduce the overall risk of the Fund’s portfolio. There can be no assurance that these benefits will be realized and such instruments may expose the Fund to risks not presented by credit obligations.

The types of derivative instruments in which the Fund currently invests (or considers for investment) are: structured products, swaps, futures
contracts, and forward contracts. In the future, the Fund may invest in other types of derivative instruments if deemed advisable by the Adviser. Structured products include instruments such as credit-linked securities, commodity-linked notes and
structured notes. A structured product may combine a traditional stock, bond, or commodity with an option or forward contract
