NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Flat Rock Opportunity Fund (the "Fund"), a closed-end interval fund investing in CLOs, announced that its Board of Directors has declared an increase in its monthly distribution to $0.175 per share. Based upon the closing price of the Fund as of December 31st, this distribution increases the effective annual distribution rate by 4.8%, from 10.2% to 10.7%.
This increase follows over two years of distributions at a consistent rate of $0.167 per share since the Fund's inception in 2018.
"Flat Rock Opportunity Fund's success has been driven through our adherence to our key investment pillars; most notably a capacity constrained approach that allows the Fund to be highly selective, as well as our capability to invest in middle market CLOs and leverage a flexible investment mandate. We are pleased that this success allows us to increase our monthly distribution rate to our shareholders," said Robert Grunewald, Founder and CEO of the Fund's advisor, Flat Rock Global, LLC.
