KKR Credit Income fund Units ( (AU:KKC) ) just unveiled an announcement.

KKR Credit Income Fund reported a slight net return decline of 0.35% in February 2026, as losses in its liquid credit portfolio, particularly bank loans, outweighed income distributions, while not-rated credits added some offsetting gains. The fund’s underlying assets traded at an average 97.6% of par with a 9.2% yield to maturity and 8.1% current yield, and European Direct Lending continued to represent about 41% of the portfolio.

The fund declared a monthly distribution of A$0.0167 per unit, equating to an annualised yield of 8.59% on NTA and 9.55% on the ASX unit price, consistent with its FY26 distribution target. In a market backdrop where U.S. high yield posted modest gains but leveraged loans fell amid concerns such as AI-driven disruption and software sector weakness, KKC’s diversified credit exposure and steady distributions remain key considerations for income-focused unitholders.
