Insights
XFLT maintains its $0.070 monthly distribution, showing consistency in its income generation strategy amid varying market conditions.
XAI Octagon Trust has declared its regular monthly distribution of
This consistency in distribution is noteworthy as it suggests the fund's floating rate and alternative income strategy continues to generate sufficient income to support its payout policy. The trust primarily invests in floating rate credit instruments, which typically perform well in rising rate environments as their yields adjust upward.
The press release provides important transparency by acknowledging that distributions can come from various sources - not just income but potentially capital gains or return of capital. This distinction matters significantly to investors, as return of capital distributions effectively return investors' own money, reducing their cost basis rather than representing true investment returns.
For income-focused investors, XFLT's structure as a floating rate vehicle offers potential advantages in the current credit environment, particularly as a hedge against interest rate fluctuations. The fund's investment approach across multiple stages of the credit cycle aims to deliver total return with an emphasis on income generation through private credit markets - an area typically less accessible to retail investors.
The unchanged distribution signals management's current confidence in maintaining this payout level, though investors should note the extensive risk disclosures regarding potential future changes based on performance and compliance with covenants related to the trust's preferred shares.

Common share distributions may be paid from net investment income (regular interest and dividends), capital gains and/or a return of capital. The specific tax characteristics of the distributions will be reported to the Trust鈥檚 common shareholders on Form 1099 after the end of the 2025 calendar year. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Trust is net income or profit. For further information regarding the Trust鈥檚 distributions, please visit .
The Trust鈥檚 net investment income and capital gain can vary significantly over time; however, the Trust seeks to maintain more stable common share monthly distributions over time. The Trust鈥檚 investments in CLOs are subject to complex tax rules and the calculation of taxable income attributed to an investment in CLO subordinated notes can be dramatically different from the calculation of income for financial reporting purposes under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (鈥淯.S. GAAP鈥�), and, as a result, there may be significant differences between the Trust鈥檚 GAAP income and its taxable income. The Trust鈥檚 final taxable income for the current fiscal year will not be known until the Trust鈥檚 tax returns are filed.
As a registered investment company, the Trust is subject to a
The common share distributions paid by the Trust for any particular period may be more than the amount of net investment income from that period. As a result, all or a portion of a distribution may be a return of capital, which is in effect a partial return of the amount a common shareholder invested in the Trust, up to the amount of the common shareholder鈥檚 tax basis in their common shares, which would reduce such tax basis. Although a return of capital may not be taxable, it will generally increase the common shareholder鈥檚 potential gain, or reduce the common shareholder鈥檚 potential loss, on any subsequent sale or other disposition of common shares.
The distribution shall be paid on the Payment Date unless the payment of such distribution is deferred by the Board of Trustees upon a determination that such deferral is required in order to comply with applicable law to ensure that the Trust remains solvent and able to pay its debts as they become due and continue as a going concern, or to comply with the applicable terms or financial covenants of the Trust鈥檚 senior securities.
Future common share distributions will be made if and when declared by the Trust鈥檚 Board of Trustees, based on a consideration of number of factors, including the Trust鈥檚 continued compliance with terms and financial covenants of its senior securities, the Trust鈥檚 net investment income, financial performance and available cash. There can be no assurance that the amount or timing of common share distributions in the future will be equal or similar to that described herein or that the Board of Trustees will not decide to suspend or discontinue the payment of common share distributions in the future.
The investment objective of the Trust is to seek attractive total return with an emphasis on income generation across multiple stages of the credit cycle. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a dynamically managed portfolio of opportunities primarily within the private credit markets. Under normal market conditions, the Trust will invest at least
