Schedule of Investments (in thousands)

September 30, 2025

(a) Security has a variable rate. Interest rates reset periodically. Rate stated was in effect as of September 30, 2025. For securities based on a published reference rate and spread, the reference rate and spread are presented. Certain variable rate securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread because they are determined by the issuer, remarketing agent, or offering documents and are based on current market conditions. The coupon rate for securities with certain features outlined in the offering documents may vary from the stated reference rate and spread. This includes, but is not limited to, securities with deferred rates, contingent distributions, caps, floors, and fixed-rate to float-rate features. In addition, variable rates for government and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are determined by tranches of underlying mortgage-backed security pools’ cash flows into securities and pass-through rates which reflect the rate earned on the asset pool after management and guarantee fees are paid to the securitizing corporation. CMO and MBS variable rates are determined by a formula set forth in the security’s offering documents.

(b) Security fair valued in good faith as a Level 3 security in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Good faith fair valued securities are classified based on the applicable valuation inputs. See "Fair Value Measurement" in the Notes to Financial Statements.

(c) This senior floating rate interest will settle after September 30, 2025. If a reference rate and spread is presented, it will go into effect upon settlement.

(d) Perpetual security. Next contractual call price and date are presented in parentheses, if applicable.

(e) Security is restricted to resale to institutional investors or subject to trading restrictions due to sanctions on foreign issuers. See Restricted Securities table following the Schedule of Investments.

(g) Pay-in-kind security. Stated coupon is the pay-in-kind rate. The interest earned by the security may be paid in cash or additional par.

(h) Convertible security.

(i) All or a portion of the security was on loan as of September 30, 2025.

(j) Security is a step-up bond where the coupon may increase or step up at a future date or as the result of an upgrade or downgrade to the credit rating of the issuer. Rate stated was the coupon as of September 30, 2025.

(k) The interest rate for this security is inversely affected by upgrades or downgrades to the credit rating of the issuer. Rate stated was the coupon as of September 30, 2025.

(l) Security fair valued using the NAV per share practical expedient in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Good faith fair valued securities are classified based on the applicable valuation inputs. See "Fair Value Measurement" in the Notes to Financial Statements.

(m) Security fair valued in good faith as a Level 2 security in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Good faith fair valued securities are classified based on the applicable valuation inputs. See "Fair Value Measurement" in the Notes to Financial Statements.

(n) Investment in affiliate.

(o) Yield changes daily to reflect current market conditions. Rate was the quoted yield as of September 30, 2025.

Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2025

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund (“Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 8, 2023. The Fund has elected to operate as an interval fund. The Fund engages in a continuous offering of shares and will offer to make quarterly repurchases of shares at net asset value ("NAV"), reduced by any applicable repurchase fee.

Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (“JNAM”, “Adviser” or “Administrator”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Jackson Financial Inc. (“Jackson”), serves as investment adviser and administrator to the Fund.

Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Sub-Adviser") serves as Sub-Adviser for the Fund.

Pursuant to exemptive relief, the Fund is authorized to offer two share classes, Class A and Class I. As of September 30, 2025, only Class I shares are available for purchase. Class A shares and Class I shares differ primarily due to the Shareholder Servicing Fee attributable to Class A shares. Shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from the Fund pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class. From time to time, the Fund may have significant subscription and redemption activity which, when executed at the NAV rounded to two decimals, can impact the NAV per share of either class and cause a divergence in the NAV between each class. Each share class also has different voting rights on matters affecting a single class. No class has preferential dividend rights.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Security Valuation. Under the Fund's valuation policy and procedures (“Valuation Policies and Procedures”), the Fund's Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) has designated to the Adviser the responsibility for carrying out certain functions relating to the valuation of portfolio securities for the purpose of determining the NAV of the Fund. The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) that is charged with the responsibilities set forth in the Valuation Policies and Procedures. The Valuation Committee is responsible for determining fair valuations for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. For those securities fair valued under procedures approved by the Board, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the fair valuation determinations after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review by the Board.

The NAV of the Fund’s shares is generally determined once each day on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, at the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday). The NAV of the Fund’s shares may also not be determined on days designated by the Board or on days designated by the SEC. However, consistent with legal requirements, calculation of the Fund’s NAV may be suspended on days determined by the Board during times of NYSE market closure, which may include times during which the SEC issues policies or protocols associated with such closure pursuant to Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act. In the event that the NYSE is closed unexpectedly or opens for trading but closes earlier than scheduled, the Fund’s Valuation Committee will evaluate if trading activity on other U.S. exchanges and markets for equity securities is considered reflective of normal market activity. To the extent an NYSE closure is determined to be accompanied by a disruption of normal market activity, the Valuation Committee may utilize the time the NYSE closed for purposes of measuring and calculating the Fund's NAV. To the extent an NYSE closure is determined to not have resulted in a disruption of normal market activity, the Valuation Committee may utilize the time the NYSE was scheduled to close for purposes of measuring and calculating the Fund's NAV.

Equity securities are generally valued at the official closing price of the exchange where the security is principally traded. If there is no official closing price for the security on the valuation date, the security may be valued at the most recent sale or quoted bid price prior to close. Stocks not listed on a national or foreign stock exchange may be valued at the closing bid price on the over the counter (“OTC”) market. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the NAV per share determined as of the close of the NYSE on each valuation date. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less, and that did not receive a price from a third-party pricing service, or it is determined that such valuation from the pricing service does not approximate fair value, may be valued at their amortized cost, unless it is determined that such practice does not approximate fair value. Debt and derivative securities are generally valued by independent pricing services approved by the Board. Pricing services utilized to value debt and derivative instruments may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as: yield; credit quality; coupon rate; maturity; type of issue; trading characteristics; call features; credit ratings; broker quotes; tranche seniority; catastrophe perils and loss estimates; maturity extensions; and other relevant data. Term loans are generally valued at the composite bid prices provided by approved pricing services. Private Investment Funds ("Private Funds") are generally valued using the latest NAV reported by the third-party fund manager or General Partner ("GP") as a practical expedient to estimate the fair value of such interests. The NAV and other information provided by a GP is reviewed for reasonableness based on knowledge of current market conditions and the individual characteristics of each Private Fund. If market information indicates that the NAV is not as of the measurement date, not calculated in a manner consistent with FASB ASC Topic 946 (“Topic 946”), or otherwise not reflective of the current value, best efforts shall be used to adjust the relevant Private Fund’s NAV in a manner consistent with the measurement principals of Topic 946, which could include adjusting the Private Fund’s NAV based on a proxy or investment model which is correlated to the underlying investment return. Private debt is generally fair valued according to procedures approved by the Board, which take into account factors such as the size of the holding, the nature and duration of the securities and the volume and depth of trading, among others. Futures contracts traded on an exchange are generally valued at the exchange’s settlement price. If the settlement price is not available, exchange traded futures are valued at the last sales price as of the close of business on the primary exchange. Options traded on an exchange are generally valued at the last traded price as of the close of business on the local exchange. If the last trade is determined to not be representative of fair value, exchange traded options are valued at the current day’s mid-price. Forward foreign currency contracts are generally valued at the foreign currency

exchange rate as of the close of the NYSE. If pricing services are unable to provide valuations, OTC derivatives are valued at the most recent bid quotation or evaluated price, as applicable, obtained from a broker/dealer or by pricing models using observable inputs. Swap agreements that clear on exchanges are valued at the most recent bid quotation or evaluated price, as applicable, obtained from pricing models or by the clearing exchange using observable inputs.

Market quotations may not be readily available for certain investments or it may be determined that a quotation of an investment does not represent fair value. In such instances, the investment is valued as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board, which take into account factors such as the size of the holding, the nature and duration of the securities and the volume and depth of trading, among others. Situations that may require an investment to be fair valued may include instances where a security is thinly traded, halted or restricted as to resale. In addition, investments may be fair valued based on the occurrence of a significant event. Significant events may be specific to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructurings or defaults. Alternatively, significant events may affect an entire market, such as natural disasters, government actions, and significant changes in the value of U.S. securities markets. Securities are fair valued based on observable and unobservable inputs, including the Adviser’s or Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of an investment. Under the procedures approved by the Board, the Adviser may utilize pricing services or other sources, including the Fund’s Sub-Adviser, to assist in determining the fair value of an investment. A market-based approach may be utilized whereby related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other inputs may be considered in determining fair value. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the asset or liability are discounted to calculate fair value. Inputs considered to determine fair value may include fundamental analytical data relating to the security; the nature and duration of restrictions, if any, on the disposition of the security; trading volume on markets, exchanges, or among dealers; evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which the security is traded; the type of security; the financial statements of the issuer, or other financial information about the issuer; the cost of the security at its date of purchase; the size of the Fund’s holding; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class, if applicable, at the time of purchase or at a later date; reports prepared by analysts; information as to any transactions in, or offers for, the security; the existence of any merger proposal, tender offer or other extraordinary event relating to the security; the price and extent of public or dealer trading in similar securities or derivatives of the issuer or of comparable companies; trading in depositary receipts; foreign currency exchange activity; changes in the interest rate environment; trading prices of financial products that are tied to baskets of foreign securities; and any other matters considered relevant.

If an investment is valued at a fair value for purposes of calculating the Fund’s NAV, the value may be different from the last quoted price for the investment depending on the source and method used to determine the value. Although there can be no assurance, in general, the fair value of the investment is the amount the owner of such investment might reasonably expect to receive in an orderly transaction between market participants upon its current sale.

Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund intends to qualify as and be eligible to be treated each year as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund intends to distribute at least 90% of the sum of its investment company taxable income (as the term is defined in the Code) and any net tax-exempt interest income for such year. Effective October 1, 2025, the Board approved a change to the distribution policy and the Fund intends to declare and distribute dividends from net investment income at least annually. Prior to October 1, 2025, dividends from net investment income were accrued daily and paid quarterly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Fund will pay distributions to Shareholders at any particular rate or at all. Each year, a statement on Internal Revenue Service Form 1099-DIV identifying the amount and character of the Fund’s distributions will be mailed to Shareholders.

Other Service Providers. State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street” or "Custodian") acts as custodian and securities lending agent for the Fund. The Custodian has custody of all securities and cash of the Fund maintained in the United States and attends to the collection of principal and income and payment for and collection of proceeds of securities bought and sold by the Fund.

The Fund has entered into a Transfer Agency Agreement with UMB Fund Services, Inc ("UMB"). UMB is the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of all shares.

Security Transactions and Investment Income. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses are determined on the specific identification basis. Dividend income, net of applicable withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Corporate actions involving foreign securities, including dividends, are recorded when the information becomes available. Income received in lieu of dividends for securities loaned is included in Dividends in the Statement of Operations. Interest income, including effective-yield amortization of discounts and premiums on debt securities and convertible bonds, is accrued daily. The Fund may place a debt obligation on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income, and value, by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured. Distributions from Private Funds are recorded when communicated by the GP. Distributions from Private Funds that represent returns of capital in excess of cumulative profits and losses are credited to cost of investments rather than investment income. Portfolio investment fees that are paid outside of a Private Fund’s investment are expensed as incurred.

Expenses. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses of the Fund are allocated to the classes based on the average daily net assets of each class. Expenses attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that class.

Foreign Taxes. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or foreign currency purchases and repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon the current interpretations of tax rules and

26

regulations that exist in the markets in which the Fund invests. When a capital gains tax is determined to apply, the Fund will record an estimated tax liability in an amount that may be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

Foreign Currency Translations. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Each business day, the fair values of foreign securities, currency holdings and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars based on current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars based on the respective exchange rates prevailing on the dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of foreign securities. Such fluctuations are included in Net realized gain (loss) on Investments - unaffiliated and Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on Investments - unaffiliated, respectively, in the Statement of Operations.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency related items are considered ordinary income for tax purposes and arise from sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the U.S. dollar amounts actually received or paid; and the realized gains or losses resulting from portfolio and transaction hedges. Net unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency related items include gains and losses from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in currency exchange rates.

Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications for certain liabilities. Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. However, since the commencement of operations, the Fund has not had claims or losses pursuant to its contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2023, FASB released Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, titled "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" under Topic 740. This update aims to enhance the transparency and consistency of income tax disclosures by requiring disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and by providing disaggregated information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction, both domestically and internationally. The amendments under this ASU are required to be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Management is evaluating the amendments and any impact they will have on the Fund's financial statements.

NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments under this guidance. The inputs are summarized into three broad categories:

Level 1 includes quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Fund can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including fair value factors, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Adviser’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

Inputs used in the determination of the fair value level of Level 3 securities, which were deemed to be material, are disclosed within the notes below. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table summarizes the Fund’s investments in securities and other financial instruments (in thousands) as of September 30, 2025 by valuation level.

1 Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Schedule of Investments. Although there can be no assurance, in general, the fair value of the investment using the NAV per share practical expedient is the amount the owner of such investment might reasonably expect to receive in an orderly transaction between market participants upon its current sale.

2 Unfunded commitments are not reflected in total investments in the Schedule of Investments. Net unrealized appreciation is reflected as an asset and net unrealized depreciation is reflected as a liability in the table. See Unfunded Commitments table following the Schedule of Investments.

NOTE 4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

Securities Lending and Securities Lending Collateral. Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund participates in an agency based securities lending program. State Street serves as the securities lending agent to the Fund. Per the securities lending agreement, the securities lending agent is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Fund to approved borrowers and is required to maintain collateral. The Fund receives either cash or non-cash collateral against the loaned securities in an amount equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan as determined at the close of Fund business each day; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is typically delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The duration of each loan is determined by the agent and borrower and generally may be terminated at any time. Certain loans may be negotiated to mature on a specified date. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund in the event of default by a third-party borrower. The Fund may experience a delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss if the borrower breaches its agreement with the Fund or becomes insolvent. For cash collateral, the Fund receives income from the investment of cash collateral, which is shared with the borrower through negotiated rebates. The Fund bears the risk that the agent may default on its obligations to the Fund. Non-cash collateral which the Fund receives may include U.S. Government securities; U.S. Government agencies’ debt securities; and U.S. Government-sponsored agencies’ debt securities and mortgage-backed securities. For non-cash collateral, the Fund receives lending fees negotiated with the borrower. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund with respect to the market risk related to the non-cash collateral investments. The Fund also bears the market risk with respect to the collateral received and securities loaned. State Street receives a portion of the earnings from the Fund's securities lending program.

Cash collateral received is invested in the JNL Government Money Market Fund – Class SL, a registered government money market fund under the 1940 Act and series of the JNL Investors Series Trust. JNAM serves as the Adviser and Administrator for the JNL Government Money Market Fund. The JNL Government Money Market Fund is offered to the Fund and its affiliates and is not available for direct purchase by members of the public. The JNL Government Money Market Fund pays JNAM annual fees, accrued daily and payable monthly, for investment advisory and administrative services.

Cash collateral received from the borrower is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Payable for Return of securities loaned. Investments acquired with such cash collateral are reported in a manner consistent with other portfolio investments held by the Fund as Investments - affiliated, at value or Investments - unaffiliated, at value, as applicable, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of securities on loan is disclosed as Securities on loan included in Investments – unaffiliated, at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund’s net exposure to a borrower is determined by the amount of any shortfall in collateral received compared to the value of securities on loan. The Fund may receive non-cash collateral in the form of securities received, which the Fund may not sell or re-pledge and accordingly are not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of securities on loan and collateral received (in thousands) at September 30, 2025 was as follows:

Unregistered Securities. The Fund may own certain investment securities that are unregistered and thus restricted to resale. These securities may also be referred to as “private placements”. Unregistered securities may be classified as “illiquid” because there is no readily available market for sale of the securities. Where future dispositions of the securities require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Fund has the right to include those securities in such registration generally without cost to the Fund. The Fund has no right to require registration of unregistered securities. Private placements and other restricted securities are subject to legal and/or contractual restrictions on their sales. These securities may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. As a result of the absence of a public trading market, the prices of these securities may be more volatile and more difficult to determine than publicly traded securities and these securities may involve heightened risk as compared to investments in securities of publicly traded companies. Private placements and other restricted securities may be illiquid, and it frequently can be difficult to sell them at a time when it may otherwise be desirable to do so or the Fund may be able to sell them only at prices that are less than what the Fund regards as their fair market value. Rule 144A securities are securities offered as exempt from registration with the SEC, but may be treated as liquid securities because there is a market for such securities. Rule 144A securities may have an active trading market but carry the risk that the active trading market may not continue. To the extent that institutional buyers become, for a time, uninterested in purchasing Rule 144A securities, investing in such securities could increase the Fund’s level of illiquidity.

Senior and Junior Loans. The Fund may invest in Senior loans or secured and unsecured subordinated loans, second lien loans and subordinated bridge loans (“Junior loans”) which are purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis and may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Interest income on these loans is accrued based on the terms of the securities. Senior and Junior loans can be acquired through an agent, by assignment from another holder of the loan, or as a participation interest in another holder’s portion of the loan.

Unfunded Commitments. The Fund may enter into certain credit agreements, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these loan commitments at the borrowers’ discretion. Unfunded loan commitments and funded portions of credit agreements are marked-to-market daily. Net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on unfunded commitments is reflected in Other assets and Payable for Investment securities purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on Investments – unaffiliated in the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 5. PRINCIPAL RISKS

Unlisted Closed-End Structure and Liquidity Limited to Quarterly Repurchases of Shares Risk. The Fund has been organized as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. Closed-end funds differ from open-end management investment companies in that investors in a closed-end fund do not have the right to redeem their shares on a daily basis. Unlike most closed-end funds, which typically list their shares on a securities exchange, the Fund does not intend to list the shares for trading on any securities exchange, and the Fund does not expect any secondary market to develop for the shares. The Fund will offer only a limited degree of liquidity by conducting quarterly repurchase offers, which are generally expected to be for 5% of the Fund’s outstanding shares. There is no assurance that the Fund will repurchase shares in the amount desired. In addition, with very limited exceptions, shares are not transferable, and liquidity will be provided only through repurchase offers made quarterly by the Fund. Shares are considerably less liquid than shares of funds that trade on a stock exchange or shares of open-end registered investment companies.

There will be a substantial period of time between the date as of which shareholders must submit a request to have their shares repurchased and the date they can expect to receive payment for their shares from the Fund. Shareholders whose shares are accepted for repurchase bear the risk that the Fund’s net asset value may fluctuate significantly between the time that they submit their repurchase requests and the date as of which such shares are valued for purposes of such repurchase.

Repurchase Offers Risk. The Fund currently expects to conduct quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of its outstanding shares. Substantial requests for the Fund to repurchase shares could require the Fund to liquidate certain of its investments more rapidly than otherwise desirable. In the event that a repurchase offer is oversubscribed, the Fund will repurchase tendered shares on a pro rata basis. Shareholders may be unable to liquidate all or a given percentage of their investment in the Fund during a particular repurchase offer.

Credit and Counterparty Risk. In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where the risk of potential loss exists due to failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (“credit risk”). Bonds and other debt securities are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal

29


Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2025

or interest and the security will go into default. Like credit risk, the Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled, or open transactions will default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to credit risk, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties (“counterparty risk”). The extent of the Fund's exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets is incorporated within its carrying value as recorded in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For certain derivative contracts (including futures, options on futures and certain swaps), the potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the financial statements for the Fund.

Interest Rate Risk. When interest rates increase, fixed-income securities generally will decline in value. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to rise such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates and general economic conditions. Fixed-income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than those with shorter durations.

Senior and Junior Loan Risk. When the Fund invests in a loan or participation, the Fund is subject to the risk that an intermediate participant between the Fund and the borrower will fail to meet its obligations to the Fund, in addition to the risk that the borrower under the loan may default on its obligations. Senior and Junior loans typically are of below investment grade quality and have below investment grade credit ratings, which ratings are associated with securities having high risk and speculative characteristics. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the agent bank administering the loan may fail to meet its obligations.

Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s shares and distributions thereon can decline. Inflation risk is linked to increases in the prices of goods and services and a decrease in the purchasing power of money. Inflation may reduce the intrinsic value of an investment in the Fund.

Catastrophe Bonds Risk. A Catastrophe ("CAT") Bond is a form of insurance-linked security that is sold in the capital markets. An investment in CAT Bonds is subject to special risks, including limited resources of issuers, regulation, subordination and lower or no credit rating. CAT Bonds are a way for insurers, reinsurers, corporations and government entities that have risks associated with natural catastrophe events and disasters to transfer those risks to the capital market in securities format.

Liquidity and Valuation Risk. The securities in which the Fund invests will often be illiquid and may include other funds that will typically hold one or just a few investments. Valuations reported by other fund managers, which will form the basis for the Fund’s NAV, may be subject to later adjustment or revision. Valuations of Private Funds are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time, and may be based on estimates. The Adviser has engaged the services of a third-party pricing service to assist its valuations of Fund investments in certain circumstances.

Convertible Securities Risk. A convertible security tends to perform more like a stock when the underlying stock price is high and more like a debt security when the underlying stock price is low. A convertible security is not as sensitive to interest rate changes as a similar non-convertible debt security, and generally has less potential for gain or loss than the underlying stock.

Market and Volatility Risk. In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where the risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (“market risk”). Additionally, prices of financial instruments may fluctuate over short periods or extended periods of time in response to company, market, economic or political news (“volatility risk”). Equity securities generally have more price volatility than fixed-income securities, and long term fixed-income securities normally have more price volatility than short term fixed-income securities. The Fund may invest in derivatives to hedge the Fund's portfolio as well as for investment purposes which may increase volatility.Volatility may cause the Fund’s NAV per share to experience significant appreciation or depreciation in value over short periods of time.

Foreign Securities Risk. Investing in securities of foreign companies or issued by foreign governments generally involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include the potential for revaluation of currencies, different accounting policies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices may be more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. Government.

Emerging Market Securities Risk. Investing in securities of emerging market countries generally involves greater risk than investing in foreign securities in developed markets. Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed and are likely to be less stable than those in more advanced countries. These risks include the potential for government intervention, adverse changes in earnings and business prospects, liquidity, credit and currency risks, and price volatility. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which regulates auditors of U.S. public companies, is unable to inspect audit work papers in certain foreign countries. Investors in foreign countries often have limited rights and few practical remedies to pursue shareholder claims, including class actions or fraud claims, and the ability of the SEC, the U.S. Department of Justice and other authorities to bring and enforce actions against foreign issuers or foreign persons is limited.

Investment in Other Investment Companies Risk. Investments in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, are subject to market risk. In addition, if the Fund acquires shares of investment companies, including ones affiliated with the Fund, Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of expenses in the Fund (including management and advisory fees) and, indirectly, the expenses of the investment companies in which the Fund invests. To the extent that shares of the Fund are held by an affiliated fund, the ability of the Fund itself to invest in other investment companies may be limited.

Cybersecurity Risk. Cyber-attacks could disrupt daily operations related to trading and portfolio management. In addition, technology disruptions and cyber-attacks may impact the operations or securities prices of an issuer or a group of issuers, and thus may have an adverse impact on the value of the

30


Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2025

Fund’s investments. Cyber-attacks on the Fund, the Sub-Adviser or a service provider could cause business failures or delays in daily processing and the Fund may need to delay transactions, consistent with regulatory requirements, as a result and could impact the performance of the Fund.

Leverage Risk. The Fund may enter into a short position through a futures contract, an option or swap agreement or through short sales of any instrument that the Fund may purchase for investment. Taking short positions may involve leverage of the Fund’s assets. If the value of the underlying instrument or market in which the Fund has taken a short position increases, then the Fund will incur a loss equal to the increase in value from the time that the short position was entered into plus any related interest payments or other fees. Taking short positions involves the risk that losses may be disproportionate, may exceed the amount invested, and may be unlimited.

Private Funds Risk. The Private Funds will not be subject to the 1940 Act, nor will they be publicly traded. As a result, the Fund’s investments in the Private Funds will not be subject to the protections afforded to Shareholders under the 1940 Act. By investing in the Private Funds indirectly through the Fund, a Shareholder bears two layers of asset-based fees and expenses – at the Fund level and the Private Fund level – in addition to indirectly bearing any performance fees charged by the Private Fund. Given the limited liquidity of the Private Funds, the Fund may not be able to alter its portfolio allocation in sufficient time to respond to any changes in the Private Funds that could be material and adverse, resulting in substantial losses from risks of Private Funds.

Currency Risk. Investing directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in financial derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, involves the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the base currency of the Fund, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the Fund’s base currency will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time or currencies may become illiquid for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, general economics of a country, actions (or inaction) of the U.S. Government or banks, foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad.

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the U.S. War, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant market volatility, liquidity constraints, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in non-U.S. and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Fund's investments and the Fund. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of the Fund and of the Fund's service providers.

NOTE 6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND COLLATERAL

Under various agreements, certain investment transactions require collateral to be pledged to or from the Fund and a counterparty or segregated at the custodian and the collateral is managed pursuant to the terms of the agreement. U.S. Treasury Bills and U.S. dollar cash are generally the preferred forms of collateral, although other forms of high quality or sovereign securities may be used. Securities held by the Fund that are used as collateral are identified as such within the Schedule of Investments.

Master Netting Agreements (“Master Agreements”). The Fund is subject to various Master Agreements, which govern the terms of certain transactions and mitigate the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Because different types of financial transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded out of different legal entities of a particular counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different Master Agreement, potentially resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. The Fund may net exposure and collateralize multiple transaction types governed by the same Master Agreement with the same counterparty and may close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default and/or termination event with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. Each Master Agreement defines whether the Fund is contractually able to net settle daily payments. Additionally, certain circumstances, such as laws of a particular jurisdiction or settlement of amounts due in different currencies, may prohibit or restrict the right of offset as defined in the Master Agreements.

Master Agreements also help limit credit and counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral) governed under the relevant master agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement. The Fund’s overall exposure to counterparty risk can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the relevant Master Agreement. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Fund's Sub-Adviser attempts to limit counterparty risk by only entering into Master Agreements with counterparties that the Sub-Adviser believes to have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

Customer Account Agreements. Customer Account Agreements and related addendums govern exchange traded or centrally cleared derivative transactions such as futures, options on futures and centrally cleared derivatives. If the Fund transacts in exchange traded or centrally cleared derivatives, the Sub-Adviser is a party to agreements with (1) a Futures Commissions Merchant (“FCM”) in which the FCM facilitates the execution of the exchange traded and centrally cleared derivative with the DCO and (2) with an executing broker/swap dealer to agree to the terms of the swap and resolution

process in the event the centrally cleared swap is not accepted for clearing by the designated DCO. Exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives transactions require posting an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount known as the “initial margin” as determined by each relevant clearing agency and is segregated at an FCM which is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) or the applicable regulator. The Fund receives from, or pays to, the counterparty an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as the “variation margin”. For certain exchanges or DCOs, variation margin may include more than one day’s fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Variation margin on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities may include variation margin on closed unsettled derivative transactions. Variation margin received may not be netted between exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives. In the event of default, counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors to the FCM do not have claim to the Fund’s assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk.

International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”). ISDA Master Agreements govern OTC financial derivative transactions entered into by the Fund’s Sub-Adviser and select counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, events of default, termination and maintenance of collateral. Termination includes conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to early termination could be material to the financial statements. In the event of default, the total financial derivative value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty. The amount of collateral exchanged is based on provisions within the ISDA Master Agreements and is determined by the net exposure with the counterparty and is not identified for a specific OTC derivative instrument.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is a standardized contract obligating two parties to exchange a specified asset at an agreed upon price and date. Variation margin is recorded by the Fund until the contracts are terminated at which time realized gains and losses are recognized. Futures contracts involve to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin recorded by the Fund. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held by the Fund or the change in the value of an underlying entity and the prices of the futures contracts and the possibility the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. With futures, counterparty risk to the Fund is reduced because futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, acting as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund’s investment securities, but it does establish a fixed rate of currency exchange that can be achieved in the future. The value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss and as a receivable or payable from forward foreign currency contracts. Upon settlement, or delivery or receipt of the currency, a realized gain or loss is recorded which is equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Forward foreign currency contracts involve market risk in excess of the receivable or payable related to forward foreign currency contracts recorded by the Fund. Although contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. Additionally, the Fund could be exposed to the risk of a previously hedged position becoming unhedged if the counterparty to a contract is unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the currency changes unfavorably to the value of the offsetting currency.

Derivatives and Hedging and Financial Instruments Eligible for Offset. FASB ASC Topic 815 includes the requirement for enhanced qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments and disclosures regarding credit related contingent features in derivative instruments, as well as quantitative disclosures in the semi-annual and annual financial statements about fair value, gains and losses, and volume of activity for derivative instruments. Information about these instruments is disclosed in the context of each instrument’s primary underlying risk exposure which is categorized as credit, commodity, equity price, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The following disclosures include: (1) Objectives and strategies for the Fund’s derivative investments during the period; (2) A summary table (in thousands) of the fair valuations of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure, which references the location on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations for each derivative instrument as of September 30, 2025; (3) A summary table (in thousands) of derivative instruments and certain investments of the Fund, which are subject to master netting agreements or a similar agreement and are eligible for offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of September 30, 2025; and (4) A table reflecting the Fund’s average monthly derivative volume (in thousands) for the period ended September 30, 2025.

Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund Derivative Strategies - The Fund entered into futures contracts as a means of risk management/hedging and as an efficient means of obtaining exposure to certain markets as part of its investments strategy. The Fund entered into foreign currency contracts as a means of risk management/hedging. The Fund entered into swap agreements as a means of risk management/hedging and to minimize foreign currency exposure on investment securities denominated in foreign currencies.

NOTE 8. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Advisory Fees. The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (“Investment Management Agreement”) with JNAM. Subject to the oversight of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, JNAM provides investment management services. Pursuant to the Investment Management

Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2025

Agreement, JNAM will receive an annual fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.60% on net assets between $0 - $1 billion and 1.55% on net assets over $1 billion.

Administrative Fee. JNAM also serves as the Administrator to the Fund. JNAM provides or procures most of the necessary administrative functions and services for the operations of the Fund. The Fund pays JNAM an annual fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% on net assets between $0 - $3 billion and 0.22% on net assets over $3 billion. In accordance with the administration agreement, JNAM, at its own expense, arranges for legal, audit, fund accounting, transfer agency, custody (except overdraft and interest expense), printing and mailing, a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer costs, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Fund is responsible for trading expenses including brokerage commissions, interest and taxes, other non-operating expenses, licensing costs, directors and officers insurance, the fees and expenses of the disinterested Trustees (“Independent Trustees”) and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees, a portion of the costs associated with the Chief Compliance Officer, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund, except those specifically allocated to the Administrator under the administration agreement.

Distribution Agreement. Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor of the Fund’s shares on a best-efforts basis pursuant to a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) between the Fund and the Distributor.

Deferred Compensation Plan. The Fund adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan whereby an Independent Trustee may defer the receipt of all or a portion of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the Fund, are treated as if invested and reinvested in shares of one or more funds at the discretion of the applicable Independent Trustee. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the Fund and vary according to the total returns of the selected funds. Liabilities related to deferred balances are included in Payable for Board of Trustees fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Increases or decreases related to the changes in value of deferred balances are included in Board of Trustees fees set forth in the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 9. REPURCHASE OFFERS

The Fund is a closed-end interval fund and, in order to provide some liquidity to Shareholders, the Fund, subject to applicable law, conducts quarterly repurchase offers of the Fund’s outstanding Shares at the applicable NAV per Share, subject to approval of the Board. In all cases such repurchases will be for at least 5% and not more than 25% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares at the applicable NAV per Share, pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act. The Fund currently expects to conduct quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of its outstanding Shares under ordinary circumstances. The Fund believes that these repurchase offers are generally beneficial to Shareholders, and repurchases generally will be funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. However, repurchase offers and the need to fund repurchase obligations may affect the ability of the Fund to be fully invested or force the Fund to maintain a higher percentage of its assets in liquid investments, which may harm the Fund’s investment performance. Moreover, diminution in the size of the Fund through repurchases may result in untimely sales of portfolio securities (with associated imputed transaction costs, which may be significant), and may limit the ability of the Fund to participate in new investment opportunities or to achieve its investment objective. The Fund may accumulate cash by holding back (i.e., not reinvesting) payments received in connection with the Fund’s investments. The Fund believes that payments received in connection with the Fund’s investments will generate sufficient cash to meet the maximum potential amount of the Fund’s repurchase obligations. If at any time cash and other liquid assets held by the Fund are not sufficient to meet the Fund’s repurchase obligations, the Fund intends, if necessary, to sell investments. If, as expected, the Fund employs investment leverage, repurchases of Shares would compound the adverse effects of leverage in a declining market. In addition, if the Fund borrows to finance repurchases, interest on that borrowing will negatively affect Shareholders who do not tender their Shares by increasing the Fund’s expenses and reducing any net investment income.

If a repurchase offer is oversubscribed, the Board may determine to increase the amount repurchased by up to 2% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares as of the date of the Repurchase Request Deadline. In the event that the Board determines not to repurchase more than the repurchase offer amount, or if Shareholders tender more than the repurchase offer amount plus 2% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares as of the date of the Repurchase Request Deadline, the Fund will repurchase the Shares tendered on a pro rata basis, and Shareholders will have to wait until the next repurchase offer to make another repurchase request. As a result, Shareholders may be unable to liquidate all or a given percentage of their investment in the Fund during a particular repurchase offer. Some Shareholders, in anticipation of proration, may tender more Shares than they wish to have repurchased in a particular quarter, thereby increasing the likelihood that proration will occur. A Shareholder may be subject to market and other risks, and the NAV per Share of Shares tendered in a repurchase offer may decline between the Repurchase Request Deadline and the date on which the NAV per Share for tendered Shares is determined. In addition, the repurchase of Shares by the Fund may be a taxable event to Shareholders.

During the period ended September 30, 2025, the Fund engaged in the following repurchase offers:

NOTE 10. INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund intends to qualify as a RIC and to distribute substantially all net investment income and net capital gains, if any, to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the Code, applicable to RICs. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The following information is presented on an income tax basis (in thousands). Differences between amounts for financial statements and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing and character differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. Permanent differences between financial statement and federal income tax reporting are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Permanent differences may include but are not limited to the following: foreign currency

The Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. The Fund’s federal tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three fiscal years after the date they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional period of time depending on the jurisdiction. Management completed an evaluation of the Fund's tax positions taken for all open tax years and based on that evaluation, determined that no provision for federal income tax was required in the Fund's financial statements during the period ended September 30, 2025.

NOTE 11. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Fund's President and Chief Executive Officer is the Fund's Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The Fund operates as a single reportable segment, which reflects how the CODM monitors and manages the operating results of the Fund. The CODM manages the allocation of resources in accordance with the Fund's objective and the terms of its prospectus and evaluates total return of the Fund versus its comparative benchmarks. The Adviser or Sub-Adviser implements the investment objective and program by selecting securities and determining asset allocation ranges. The financial information used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance and to allocate resources, including total return, expense ratios, changes in net assets from operations and portfolio composition is consistent with that presented within the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Total Assets and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated subsequent events for the Fund through the date the financial statements are issued and has concluded there were no events that require adjustments to the financial statements or disclosure in the notes to financial statements.

Additional Disclosures (Unaudited)

September 30, 2025

Disclosure of Fund Expenses. Shareholders incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, shareholder services and other operating expenses. Operating expenses such as these are deducted from the Fund’s gross income and directly reduce the final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the Fund’s expense ratio. The examples below use the expense ratio and are intended to help the investor understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

Expenses Using Actual Fund Return. This section provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses incurred by the Fund. Use the information in this section, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. Simply divide the account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses paid during this period.

Expenses Using Hypothetical 5% Return. This section provides information that can be used to compare the Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund’s expense ratio for the period is unchanged and assumes an annual 5% return before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

JACKSON CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES FUND

(the “Trust”)

APPROVAL OF THE TRUST’S

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) oversees the management of the Trust and, as required by law, determines annually whether to approve the Trust’s advisory agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) with Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (“JNAM”) and sub-advisory agreement (“Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, collectively with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) with Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC, the Trust’s investment sub-adviser (the “Sub-Adviser”).

 

At meetings held on June 3-5, 2025, and August 26-28, 2025, the Board, including all of the trustees who are not considered interested persons of the Trust (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) (the “Independent Trustees”), considered information relating to the continuation of the Agreements. In advance of the meetings, independent legal counsel for the Independent Trustees requested that certain information be provided to the Board relating to the Agreements. The Board received, and had the opportunity to review, this and other materials, ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. At the conclusion of the Board’s discussions, the Board approved the Agreements through September 30, 2026.

In reviewing the Agreements and considering the information, the Board was advised by outside independent legal counsel. The Board considered the factors it deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, quality and extent of the services provided, (2) the investment performance of the Trust, (3) cost of services for the Trust, (4) profitability data, (5) whether economies of scale may be realized and shared, in some measure, with investors as the Trust grows, and (6) other benefits that may accrue to JNAM or the Sub-Adviser through its relationship with the Trust. In its deliberations, the Board, in exercising its business judgment, did not identify any single factor that alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the Agreements.

 

Before approving the Agreements, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with their independent legal counsel to consider the materials provided by JNAM and the Sub-Adviser and the terms of the Agreements. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the data provided by JNAM and concluded that sufficient information had been provided to allow them to evaluate the terms of the Agreements and the Trust’s investment advisory fee. Based on its evaluation of those materials and the information the Board received throughout the year at its regular meetings, the Board, including the interested and Independent Trustees, concluded that the Agreements are in the best interests of the shareholders of the Trust.  In reaching its conclusions, the Board considered numerous factors, including the following:

 

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

 

The Board examined the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by JNAM and the Sub-Adviser.

 

The Board considered the services provided by JNAM, including, but not limited to, its oversight of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the provision of recordkeeping and compliance services to the Trust.  The Board also took into account that JNAM monitors the performance of the various organizations that provide services to the Trust, including the Trust’s distributor, transfer agent, and custodian.  With respect to JNAM’s oversight of the Sub-Adviser, the Board noted that JNAM is responsible for screening and recommending new sub-advisers when appropriate, as well as monitoring and reporting to the Board on a regular basis as to the performance and operations of the Sub-Adviser.

37


The Board also considered the investment sub-advisory services provided by the Sub-Adviser.  The Board noted JNAM’s evaluation of the Sub-Adviser, as well as JNAM’s recommendations, based on its review of the Sub-Adviser, to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board also considered the various business-related risks JNAM faces as a result of managing the Trust, including entrepreneurial, legal and litigation risks, some of which may be significant.

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of JNAM’s senior management that are responsible for oversight of the Trust and the Sub-Adviser, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Trust. The Board reviewed information pertaining to JNAM’s and the Sub-Adviser’s organizational structure, senior management, financial condition, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to both JNAM and the Sub-Adviser. The Board considered compliance reports about JNAM and the Sub-Adviser from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer.

Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that (i) the Trust is likely to continue to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by JNAM under the Advisory Agreement and (ii) the Trust is likely to continue to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

 

Investment Performance of the Trust

  

The Board considered the investment performance of the Trust as described in quarterly reports prepared by JNAM. The Board noted that JNAM reviews with the Board on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Trust’s performance results and investment strategies. The Board also considered the gross performance of the Trust, including how the Trust performed versus the average performance of a group of comparable funds (“peer group”) selected by an independent data service and how the Trust performed versus its primary benchmark index (“benchmark”). The Board further considered that comparison to a peer group provides a helpful way to measure the Trust’s performance but noted that the peer group universe is constantly evolving, and, as such, the universe of comparable funds in the Trust’s peer group may change from time to time. The performance reviewed by the Board was for the one-year period ended on June 30, 2025.

The Board considered that the Trust outperformed its peer group and benchmark for the one-year period. The Board concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Trust and its shareholders to renew the Agreements.

Costs of Services

  The Board reviewed the fees paid to JNAM and the Sub-Adviser for the Trust. The Board reviewed fee and expense information as compared to that of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as well as fees charged by the Sub-Adviser to similar clients, if any. The Board also noted that JNAM does not manage any institutional accounts with which the Trust’s fees could be compared. Using information provided by an independent data service, the Board evaluated the Trust’s advisory fees compared to the average advisory fees for other funds similar in size, character and investment strategy (the “peer group”). The Board noted that comparison to peer groups provides a helpful way to evaluate the Trust’s fees, but took into account that peer group universes are constantly evolving, and, as such, the universe of comparable funds in the Trust’s peer group may change from time to time. While the Board also considered the Trust’s sub-advisory fee and compared that to the average sub-advisory fee of the peer group, the Board noted that the Trust’s sub-advisory fee is paid by JNAM (not the Trust) and, therefore, is neither a direct shareholder expense nor a direct influence on the Trust’s total expense ratio.

38


The Board considered that the Trust’s total expense ratio is lower than its peer group average and the Trust’s sub-advisory fee is within three basis points of its peer group average, though the Trust’s advisory fee is higher than its peer group average. The Board further considered JNAM’s statement that it believes the Trust’s expenses are reasonable compared to similarly managed interval funds in the marketplace. The Board concluded that the fees are in the best interests of the Trust and its shareholders in light of the services to be provided.

Profitability

 

The Board considered information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by JNAM and the Sub-Adviser. The Board determined that profits realized by JNAM and the Sub-Adviser were not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

  

The Board considered whether the Trust’s advisory fee reflects the potential for economies of scale for the benefit of the Trust’s shareholders. Based on information provided by JNAM, the Board noted that the fee arrangement for the Trust contains breakpoints that decrease the advisory fee rate as assets increase. Additionally, the Board considered JNAM’s assertion that it continually evaluates the advisory fee and breakpoint schedule for the Trust, and it considered the extent to which economies of scale are reflected for the benefit of shareholders. The Board concluded that the advisory fee structure, in some measure, allows for adequate participation by shareholders in economies of scale. The Board also considered that economies of scale can be shared with the Fund in other ways, including low management fees from inception, additional technological and personnel investments to enhance shareholder services, and maintaining existing expense structures in the face of a rising cost environment.

The Board also considered that the sub-advisory fee rates have been separately negotiated between JNAM and the Sub-Adviser at arm’s-length. These sub-advisory fees are paid by JNAM to the Sub-Adviser. For this reason, JNAM, rather than shareholders, directly benefits from these breakpoints. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee schedules in some measure allow for adequate participation by shareholders in economies of scale.

Other Benefits to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser

 

In evaluating the benefits that may accrue to JNAM through its relationship with the Trust, the Board noted that JNAM and certain of its affiliates serve the Trust in various capacities, including as adviser, administrator, and distributor, and receive compensation from the Trust in connection with providing services to the Trust.  The Board noted that each service provided to the Trust by JNAM or one of its affiliates is provided pursuant to a written agreement, which the Board evaluates periodically as required by law.  Lastly, the Board noted that certain affiliates of JNAM may receive benefits under the federal income tax laws with respect to tax deductions and credits.

In evaluating the benefits that may accrue to the Sub-Adviser through its relationships with the Trust, the Board noted that the Sub-Adviser may receive indirect benefits in the form of soft dollar arrangements for portfolio securities trades placed with the Trust’s assets and may also develop additional investment advisory business with JNAM, the Trust or other clients of the Sub-Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Trust.
