Bluerock High Income Fund Declares Q3 Distribution at 8.1% Annualized Rate

The Bluerock High Income Institutional Credit Fund announced on October 15, 2026, its seventeenth consecutive regular quarterly distribution, which yields an 8.1% current annualized rate. Shareholders invested for the entire quarter will receive approximately $0.45 per share. Since its inception on June 21, 2022, the fund has distributed a total of roughly $10.67 per share.

The fund is strategically diversifying its portfolio, increasing allocations to debt positions within collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). The fund's management is also observing a trend in credit markets referred to as "HALO" (heavy asset, low obsolescence). This trend favors real estate sector credit backed by tangible, long-lived physical assets that maintain value across market cycles and are resistant to technological disruption.

As of September 30, 2026, the fund holds positions in 104 CLOs, representing approximately $48.7 billion in aggregate underlying loan value. These investments provide exposure to over 1,350 underlying senior secured loans across diverse industries. The fund's net assets under management were approximately $168 million.

The fund's Class I shares generated a net performance of 5.19% for the one-year period and 8.17% since inception. The fund's investment advisor has agreed to limit operating expenses until February 2027. The advisor has also voluntarily covered fund operating expenses and waived its management fee since the fund's inception.
