XAI Octagon Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust

# XAI Octagon Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust

Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, this closed-end investment trust operates in the asset management sector, focusing on portfolio management and alternative income generation. The trust invests in floating rate instruments and alternative income-producing securities, targeting yield-oriented investors. The fund structure allows it to employ leverage and derivative strategies to enhance returns across market cycles.

The trust's primary revenue streams derive from investment income, including interest payments from floating rate loans and securities, dividend income from equity positions, and gains from alternative income strategies such as options writing and credit instruments. Its portfolio construction emphasizes floating rate exposure, which provides interest rate sensitivity protection in rising rate environments while generating current income through coupon payments.

As a closed-end fund rather than a traditional operating company, the trust does not maintain conventional employee counts or operational revenue structures comparable to typical corporations. Instead, it operates through an external advisor relationship and professional management infrastructure. The fund is incorporated in Delaware and trades on the New York Stock Exchange, with a market capitalization of approximately $0.3 billion.
