CCIF (Carlyle Credit Income Fund) Reports 12% October Decline in Net Asset Value

View the CCIF Dividend Stock Profile

Carlyle Credit Income Fund reported on November 13, 2026 that its unaudited net asset value fell to $2.68 per common share at the end of October, from $3.05 at the end of September. The 37-cent decline, about 12%, follows a drop from $3.23 at the end of August.

Net asset value is what remains for common shareholders after liabilities and preferred claims. The drop measures the change in that value per share. October’s total investment return would also take distributions into account, and the brief filing does not break out what drove the decline.

The fund invests mainly in the lower payment tiers of collateralized loan obligations, which pool corporate loans. The cash left for those tiers depends on borrowers paying and on what goes to more senior investors first. In the June quarter, the fund reported $0.25 per share of core net investment income against $0.18 of common distributions and declared $0.06 monthly payments through November. That comparison shows how June’s earnings supported the payment. The October filing gives us a newer reading on the assets behind it.

In our view, the sharper October decline makes the next earnings report more important. We want to see whether recurring cash from the portfolio can still support the distribution after expenses, and whether the drop in asset value reflects losses that will also reduce future cash receipts.
