The XAI Octagon Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust (NYSE: XFLT) has announced a monthly common share distribution of $0.070 per share, payable on October 1, 2025. This distribution represents no change from the previous month and will be paid to shareholders of record on September 16, 2025 [2].

The Trust, which focuses on generating attractive total returns with an emphasis on income across credit cycles, invests primarily in floating rate credit instruments and structured credit investments. Under normal conditions, at least 80% of its Managed Assets are allocated to these instruments [2].

The Trust's net investment income and capital gain can vary significantly over time, but it seeks to maintain stable common share monthly distributions. The distribution may come from net investment income, capital gains, or return of capital. It is important for investors to note that return of capital reduces a shareholder's cost basis and essentially returns a portion of their original investment rather than generating new income [2].

XFLT's investment strategy targets opportunities primarily in private credit markets, with at least 80% of managed assets allocated to floating rate credit instruments and structured credit investments. This focus positions the trust to potentially benefit from higher yields in less liquid markets, though with corresponding complexity and risk [2].

The Board of Trustees maintains discretion to defer distributions if necessary to ensure solvency or compliance with covenants related to its preferred shares (traded under symbol XFLTPRA). This governance structure provides protection against overextension but also highlights the potential constraints on distribution sustainability if underlying investments underperform [2].
