The Angel Oak Strategic Credit Fund (ASCIX) reaching
The interval fund structure allows for investments in less liquid assets, potentially offering higher yields. This approach has proven advantageous during market volatility, allowing the fund to maintain positions and capitalize on opportunities. The fund's focus on structured credit, particularly non-agency RMBS and ABS, provides diversification benefits that may be attractive to investors seeking to optimize their fixed-income portfolios in the current macroeconomic environment.
The growing interest in ASCIX reflects a broader trend of investors seeking alternative fixed-income strategies in response to challenging market conditions. Traditional fixed-income assets and passive strategies have struggled to keep pace with changing market dynamics, prompting a shift towards more specialized offerings.
The interval fund structure's popularity is likely driven by its ability to balance liquidity needs with the potential for higher returns. This structure may become increasingly relevant as investors navigate uncertain economic conditions. The fund's success could signal a growing appetite for structured credit investments among both retail and institutional investors, potentially leading to increased competition in this space.
“Angel Oak was an early mover on delivering structured credit opportunities in an interval fund. That allows us to be opportunistic in times of volatility while still shielding the Fund from liquidity and redemption risk driven by short-term uncertainty,” said Sreeni Prabhu, Managing Partner and Group Chief Investment Officer for Angel Oak. “We are continuing to see increased interest in ASCIX. In this macroeconomic climate, advisors and institutions seek differentiated fixed-income strategies that align with their risk needs. Angel Oak has an impressive history of offering such strategies.”
The interval fund structure has proven to be a significant advantage during periods of economic fluctuation. Angel Oak’s approach allows the Fund to go further down in credit quality, which results in higher-yielding positions. At a sector level, ASCIX expresses the firm’s best ideas in structured credit with allocations across RMBS, ABS, CLOs, CMBS and corporate debt. The Fund’s strategy includes a distinct overweight to strategic credit assets, offering diversification not typically found in traditional fixed-income funds.

“For more than a decade, investors have been largely under-allocated to key areas of structured credit, but we’re seeing an uptick in interest now as traditional fixed-income assets and passive strategies are struggling to keep up with the changing market dynamics,” said Clayton Triick, CFA, Head of Portfolio Management of Public Strategies at Angel Oak. “We’re really pleased with how the Fund has performed and believe we are well positioned to continue uncovering new opportunities that will drive yield.”
Registered investment advisors and institutional investors have used ASCIX primarily as a diversifier in their fixed-income sleeve while potentially benefiting from the additional yield the Fund seeks to achieve. The interval fund structure provides the flexibility and strategic benefits that enable Angel Oak to hold positions during volatile times while maintaining the liquidity necessary to potentially capitalize on market opportunities as they arise.

Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. The Strategic Credit Fund is a closed-end Interval Fund. The Fund’s shares will not be listed on an exchange in the foreseeable future, if at all. It is possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, in which case shareholders may only have a portion of their shares repurchased. Quarterly repurchase offers and liquidity are limited. The Fund’s derivative investments have risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of such instruments and the underlying asset, rate, or index, which creates the possibility that the loss on such instruments may be greater than the gain in the value of the underlying asset, rate, or index; the loss of principal; the possible default of the other party to the transaction; and illiquidity of the derivative investments. The Fund may invest in illiquid securities and restricted securities. Investments in restricted securities could have the effect of increasing the amount of the Fund’s assets invested in illiquid securities if qualified institutional buyers are unwilling to purchase these securities. The Fund will be subject to risks associated with adverse political and economic developments in foreign countries, including seizure or nationalization of foreign deposits, the imposition of economic sanctions, different legal systems and laws relating to bankruptcy and creditors’ rights, and the potential inability to enforce legal judgments, all of which could cause the Fund to lose money on its investments in non-
