KKR Income Opportunities Fund

KKR Income Opportunities Fund is a closed-end management investment company, which engages in the investments in bank loans and high yield securities. The company was founded on July 25, 2013 and is headquartered in San Francisco, CA.

KKR Income Opportunities Fund yields nearly 11% but also has a history of gradual dividend cuts. KIO invests in high-yield corporate securities and leveraged loans, which are below investment-grade or unrated, which tend to earn higher coupons.

KIO: No Assurance From Future Dividend Trims

The KKR Income Opportunities Fund offers a high 10.95% yield but faces potential distribution cuts due to declining floating-rate securities and bond prices. The fund's recent performance has been poor, with a 9.46% share price decline since October 2024, underperforming both investment-grade and junk bonds. The fund's portfolio appears to have shifted back to floating-rate securities at a time when the Fed is cutting rates.
