Fund Overview and Investment Considerations
The KKR Income Opportunities Fund is a diversified, closed-end fund designed for long-term investors. Those considering an investment should carefully evaluate the Fund’s objectives, risks, fees, and expenses.
As with any market-traded fund, the investment return, share price, yield, and net asset value (NAV) of the Fund are subject to fluctuation based on market conditions. Closed-end funds often trade at a discount to NAV, which could increase the risk of loss. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives, and distribution rates may be impacted by factors such as market trends, Fund performance, and macroeconomic shifts.
Investors should be aware that investing in the Fund carries inherent risks, including the potential for principal loss. The Fund is not designed as a trading vehicle but rather as a strategic, long-term investment option.
