Eagle Point Institutional Income Fund, a non-traded closed-end fund managed by Eagle Point Credit Management LLC, generated a net return of 9.9% over the 12-month period ending Oct. 31, 2024. It also recently exceeded total assets of $150 million, inclusive of available borrowings under a revolving credit facility.
When the fund reached the $100 million milestone earlier this year, Thomas Majewski, its chairman and chief executive officer, drew attention to the strength of the fund adviser’s investment platform and emphasized that the fund was “well-positioned to continue to provide enhanced risk-adjusted returns.” An August letter to shareholders stated that the fund’s investment portfolio performance during the first half of 2024 enabled it to distribute $3.1 million to investors.
Total assets as of Oct. 31 including committed but undrawn capital was $171 million.
During the month of October 2024, the fund completed its 28th consecutive monthly distribution payment, which represented a 10.2% annualized distribution rate. The fund’s net asset value per share as of Oct. 31was $9.96, down approximately 2.6% from $10.23 on Dec. 31, 2023.
