KIO: This Fixed Income CEF Offers Steady, High-Yield Passive Income

With markets at all-time highs and tech-heavy portfolios, I'm turning more defensive and seeking value in credit funds like KKR Income Opportunities Fund. KIO offers steady monthly income, currently trades at a discount to NAV, and its price drop seems driven more by sentiment than fundamentals. Credit funds, especially KIO, are well-positioned for a slow-growth environment, with healthy high-yield fundamentals and resilient balance sheets.

5 Best CEFs This Month For Yields Up To 13% (July 2025)

For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone. In this monthly series, we highlight five CEFs with solid track records that pay high distributions and offer "excess" discounts.

KIO: Price Run Has Decreased Appeal Here (Rating Downgrade)

KIO offers a high 11.6% yield and monthly income, but its discount to NAV has narrowed, making entry less attractive now. The fund's heavy exposure to below-investment-grade borrowers and rising default rates heighten risk, especially in a prolonged high-interest environment. KIO's NAV has struggled to recover post-pandemic, and increased competition in private credit could push management toward riskier loans.

KIO: Solid Results And Distribution But Still Cautious

KKR Income Opportunities Fund offers a high-yield through a diversified portfolio of lower-quality investments managed by experienced KKR & Co. Despite the attractive distribution rate, KIO's leverage and lower-quality portfolio increases volatility, and we've seen significant drawdowns during downturns. Earlier this year they closed on a merger with INSI, increasing the size of the fund and potentially enhancing liquidity with increased trading volume.
