Bluerock High Income Institutional Credit Fund<\/em><\/p>\n Bluerock High Income Institutional Credit Fund (the “Fund” or the “High Income Fund” tickers: IIMAX, IIMCX, IIMWX) announced its sixth regular quarterly distribution at a rate of 2.75%, or an 11.0% annualized.* The amount will be based on the average daily NAV\/share over the quarter. Additionally, the Fund announced it will pay its third special distribution of\u00a0$0.85<\/span>\u00a0per share. Combined, the two Q4 distributions represent an equivalent 14.5% annual distribution rate. Shareholders invested for the entire quarter will receive a total distribution amount of\u00a0$1.53<\/span>\u00a0per share. The Fund has paid a total of\u00a0$4.27<\/span>\u00a0in distributions in since inception\u00a06.21.2022<\/span>.<\/p>\n The Fund’s special distribution is a result of the strong performance of the underlying portfolio which has generated substantial income due to the floating rate nature of the assets, higher interest rate environment, and active portfolio management. The Fund has strategically diversified the portfolio year-to-date investing in more senior positions within CLO capital stacks effectively reducing potential risk while simultaneously maintaining double-digit yield generation, thus increasing the risk-adjusted return profile of the Fund.<\/p>\n “Given high stock market valuations and the prospect of reduced income from falling bond yields, we believe the High Income Fund presents investors an opportunity to generate high income and total returns from a portfolio with underlying exposure to nearly\u00a0$13 billion<\/span>\u00a0of senior secured loans, which historically have the highest position within corporate capital stacks,” said\u00a0Jeffrey Schwaber<\/span>, CEO of Bluerock Capital Markets. The Fund capitalizes on the floating rate nature of senior secured loans to generate income growth in uncertain interest rate environments, while also insulating investors from potential losses traditional fixed income investments may experience if rates rise.<\/p>\n The Fund currently maintains underlying positions in 26 collateralized loan obligations representing approximately\u00a0$13 Billion<\/span>\u00a0of loans with exposure to approximately 1,600 underlying senior secured loans across multiple industries (holdings as of\u00a09.30.2023<\/span>\u00a0and are subject to change at any time and should not be considered investment advice). Net assets under management for the High Income Fund are approximately\u00a0$109 million<\/span>\u00a0as of\u00a0December 29, 2023<\/span>.<\/p>\n High Income Fund I-Share Net Performance<\/b><\/p>\n
