Why Invest in Private Credit?
- Income and yield characteristics. Many private credit loans use floating-rate structures that periodically reset with reference rates. In a higher-for-longer rate environment, this design may lead to income characteristics that differ from those of traditional fixed-rate bonds.
- Potential downside protection. Many private credit investments are secured by collateral and occupy positions higher in the capital structure than equity, which may help to cushion portfolios during periods of volatility or market stress.
- Consistency of performance over long periods. Historically, private credit has exhibited relatively stable, income-oriented return characteristics with less dispersion than many other private market strategies, which may contribute more consistent outcomes across market cycles.
Why Now?
- Higher-for-longer rate environment. Many private credit loans feature floating-rate structures that reset as base rates change. In a higher-for-longer rate backdrop, this design may result in income characteristics that differ from those of traditional fixed-rate bonds, depending on market and borrower conditions.
- Lower volatility relative to public markets. Private credit has historically shown lower reported volatility relative to public markets, reflecting long-term, privately negotiated structures and infrequent pricing, rather than real-time market movements.

IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION
Investing in the Hamilton Lane Credit Income Fund involves substantial risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Shares are speculative, illiquid, and not publicly traded, with limited repurchase options and no secondary market. Private credit investments also involve limited liquidity and pricing transparency, which may cause performance to differ from public benchmarks.
The Fund has been organized as a continuously offered, non-diversified closed-end management investment company. The Fund does not intend to list its shares on an exchange. To provide some liquidity to Shareholders, the Fund is structured as an "interval fund" and conduct quarterly repurchase offers for a limited amount of the Fund’s Shares (at least 5%). Repurchases may be made in-kind, resulting in investors receiving illiquid or hard-to-sell securities.
The Fund is newly formed and has no performance history. Investing involves risk, including potential loss of principal. Performance may be affected by market volatility, interest rate changes, leverage, and broader economic conditions, which may increase the risk of loss. Investments may be illiquid, take time to mature, and distributions are not guaranteed.
Distributions, if any, may be funded from sources other than investment income, including offering proceeds or borrowings, and may represent a return of capital, reducing the amount available for future investment. The Fund invests primarily in private and below-investment-grade assets, which may be speculative, difficult to value, and less liquid, and may involve limited transparency and reliance on estimates. The Fund may also be subject to unfunded commitments, regulatory changes, and global market events. Fund shares are not government insured and are not a complete investment program.
