Operating as a diversified, closed-end investment trust, XAI Octagon Floating Rate & Alternative Income Term Trust focuses its capital allocation on a dynamically managed portfolio. This portfolio primarily comprises floating-rate credit instruments and various other structured credit investments sourced from private markets. The Trust was established on September 27, 2017, and maintains its headquarters in Chicago, Illinois.
I am raising my recommendation on the XAI Octagon Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust from sell to hold following the tender offer expiration. XFLT is not a prime candidate for tax loss selling in November, and the recent tender offer is viewed as a favorable event. The fund offers a 15.85% yield, which may offset its 13.4% YTD NAV decline, but recent price action remains weak.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XAI Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust (NYSE: XFLT) (the “Fund”), announced today the preliminary results of its Tender Offer (the “Tender Offer”), which commenced September 18, 2026, and expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 19, 2026.

XAI Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust trades at a 14.41% NAV discount, offering a 14.29% annualized distribution rate, but faces credit and leverage risks. Recent distribution cuts align payouts closer to net investment income, yet future sustainability and NAV stability remain unproven, warranting caution. The new management team and a 12.5% tender offer may improve sentiment, but their long-term impact on performance and discount narrowing is uncertain.
