CHICAGO, Sept. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XAI Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust (the “Trust”) has declared its regular monthly distribution of $0.225 per share on the Trust's common shares (NYSE: XFLT), payable on October 1, 2026, to common shareholders of record as of September 15, 2026, as noted below. The amount of the distribution represents no change from the previous month's distribution amount of $0.225 per share.

While broad equity indices sit near historically elevated multiples, the CLO space has faced severe spread compression and secondary market discounts wider than those seen during the March 2020 panic. Evidence continues to build that CLO equity Net Asset Values established a cyclical floor in March 2026, with NAVs stabilizing and climbing across Q2 reporting. Despite widespread market fears of a corporate default wave, actual credit loss rates remain manageable, allowing high-yielding tranches to generate substantial underlying cash flow.
