Summary
Callodine Group, a Boston-based asset management platform with more than $20 billion in assets under management across affiliated advisers, has launched the Callodine Specialty Income Fund (ticker: CALIX), a closed-end interval fund, according to a Business Wire release. The fund is designed to provide investors with high current income through exposure to private credit and other yield-oriented investment strategies, including opportunistic exposure to yielding public securities.
The vehicle is intended to widen access to private credit strategies that Callodine has traditionally offered primarily to institutional investors, packaging them in a registered fund format. The fund will be managed by a team of senior investment professionals across the Callodine platform specializing in Asset Based Lending, Life Sciences Finance, Direct Lending, Real Estate Lending, High Yield Debt and Yielding Equity securities.
James Morrow, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Callodine and Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund, said the vehicle offers "a differentiated exposure within the evolving interval fund landscape, and a compelling risk-return profile." Gene Martin, President and CEO of Callodine Credit Management and Co-Portfolio Manager, said the fund would provide exposure to a variety of private credit strategies and collateral types and aims for an attractive yield profile while maintaining disciplined portfolio construction and asset duration management.
A registration statement relating to CALIX has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and has become effective. The release notes that the fund involves a high degree of risk, is speculative and illiquid, and that investors should generally not expect to sell shares other than through the limited repurchase process. Most credit instruments in the fund are expected to be rated below investment grade, and many will be unrated. The release also states that CALIX is distributed through Distribution Services, LLC, which is not affiliated with Callodine, and that Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. (MNBD), an affiliate of Callodine, has a selling arrangement in place for the fund.
