The Company’s investment objective is to achieve high risk-adjusted returns produced from current income generated by investing primarily in senior secured corporate debt instruments. The Company invests primarily in middle-market companies headquartered in North America. The Company commenced operations on November 30, 2020.

The Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a RIC, the Company will not be taxed on its income to the extent that it distributes such income each year and satisfies other applicable income tax requirements.
