KKR Credit Income fund Units ( (AU:KKC) ) just unveiled an announcement.

KKR Credit Income Fund reported flat net performance of 0.00% in January 2026, as losses in its liquid credit portfolio were offset by income distributions, while its underlying assets traded at an average of 98.2% of par with a 9.0% yield to maturity. The fund’s European direct lending sleeve, now around 40% of assets, added a new French pharmaceuticals position, and the portfolio remains heavily weighted to floating-rate, senior secured loans.

The fund declared a monthly distribution of A$0.0167 per unit, implying an annualised yield of 8.50% on NTA and 8.68% on the ASX unit price, consistent with its FY26 distribution target. Market conditions were mixed, with high-yield bonds posting modest gains and leveraged loans declining amid a sharp software-sector sell-off, underscoring the importance of KKC’s diversified credit exposure for investors seeking regular income.
