This release contains forward-looking statements relating to the business and financial outlook of Vertical Capital Income Fund that are based on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections and are not guarantees of future performance. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on any such statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this release.
The Fund's distribution rate may be affected by numerous factors, including changes in realized and projected market returns, Fund performance, and other factors. There can be no assurance that an unanticipated change in market conditions or other unforeseen factors will not result in a change in the Fund's distribution rate at a future time. The Fund's distribution amounts may be calculated based on the ordinary income received from the underlying investments, and in certain cases, short-term capital gains realized from the disposition of investments. Long-term capital gains realized from dispositions of assets will be paid out annually. A portion of the distributions may consist of a return of capital based on the character of the distributions received from the underlying holdings.
Investment company shares involve risk including the possible loss of principal. There is a risk that issuers will not make payments on securities and other investments held by the Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. In general, the price of a fixed-income security falls when interest rates rise. A specific security can perform differently from the market as a whole for reasons related to the issuer, such as an individual's economic situation, the Fund's net asset value may be more volatile because it invests in notes of individuals. Securities may be subject to prepayment risk because issuers are typically able to prepay principal. The Fund will not invest in real estate directly, but, because the Fund will invest the majority of its assets in securities secured by real estate, its portfolio will be significantly impacted by the performance of the real estate market and may experience more volatility and be exposed to greater risk than a more diversified portfolio. Quarterly repurchases by the Fund of its shares typically will be funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. The sale of securities to fund repurchases could reduce the market price of those securities, which in turn would reduce the Fund's net asset value.
