As a result of the expected listing, VCIF's dividend cycle has been adjusted to an end of the month declaration date and mid-month payment date. The next dividend will follow this schedule.

"We are pleased to provide our existing investors with improved liquidity while introducing new investors to the benefits this established whole loan portfolio provides for those seeking an income-generating diversifier for their portfolio," said David Aisner, Executive Vice President and Co-Portfolio Manager of Oakline.  "We are grateful for the strong support of investors and their financial advisors that made efforts to usher in a new phase of VCIF's life cycle possible," added Michael Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Oakline.

Over 93% of the portfolio loans are current as of the same date, with a weighted average coupon and effective yield to VCIF of 4.7% and 5.9%, respectively. Portfolio holdings are subject to change at any time.

Launched in 2011, VCIF has generated total net annual returns to shareholders of 6.73%, 6.39% and 7.93% over the trailing 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods, respectively, as of March 31, 2019 (1.94%, 4.78%, 6.94%, respectively with 5.75% maximum sales load).
