Carey Credit Income Fund Changes Name Following Approval of New Investment Advisor

Shareholders of Carey Credit Income Fund, a non-traded business development company, approved the appointment of Guggenheim Partners Investment Management LLC as the company’s new investment advisor. In addition, the company changed its name to Guggenheim Credit Income Fund.

Last month, Carey Credit Advisors resigned as the fund’s investment advisor and Guggenheim was named interim investment advisor. W. P. Carey Inc. (NYSE: WPC), the parent of Carey Credit Advisors LLC, recently exited retail fundraising to focus on its core real estate business.

The same changes apply to feeder fund Carey Credit Income Fund 2016 T, which is now named Guggenheim Credit Income Fund 2016 T.
