PHILADELPHIA, April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of FS Credit Opportunities Corp. (the Fund) (NYSE: FSCO) announced the monthly distribution for April 2026. The distribution of $0.0583 per share will be paid on April 30, 2026.

Closed-end funds faced a challenging week, with NAVs mostly lower and discounts reverting to historical averages. CLO equity CEFs like OXLC, ECC, and EIC experienced significant NAV declines due to falling loan prices and sector-specific pressures. FS Specialty Lending Fund now mirrors FSCO's portfolio but trades at a wider discount due to its legacy underperformance; convergence is expected over time.

Inflation has significantly eroded portfolio purchasing power, especially for conservative investors avoiding high-growth stocks. Traditional yield producers like Realty Income have failed to outpace inflation, worsening real income outcomes. I prioritize seeking high-yield, recession-resistant investments to generate durable monthly income amidst volatility.

FS Credit Opportunities' yield is high in part because of a sell-off fueled by the "SaaSpocalypse." However, the fund's exposure to at-risk SaaS companies isn't high.

In a challenging 2026 market, defense has come back in vogue. It is also the right environment to prioritize durable NAV and stable cash flows, focusing on income over price appreciation. Stepping into a double digit yield zone is probably not the smartest idea.

"Winning" for the retiree or the durable income investor is about achieving great and durable income compounding results without too much stress. However, to have the right to win, we have to earn it. The way we can do that is by tilting our investments towards tangible yields that are underpinned by robust fundamentals and even some income growth potential.
