Oxford Lane Capital Corp.
Oxford Lane Capital Corp. (OXLC) is a closed‑end investment company that primarily provides capital to credit markets, often through investments in collateralised loan obligations (CLOs), syndicated loans and related credit instruments. With a market capitalisation of about $1.35 billion, OXLC aims to generate income for shareholders and typically pays regular distributions. Investors should know that closed‑end credit vehicles can trade at a premium or discount to net asset value (NAV), and that leverage, credit selection and interest‑rate moves can amplify both returns and losses. The trust’s portfolio is exposed to below‑investment‑grade credit and structured credit risks, so periods of market stress can lead to price volatility and dividend pressure. This summary is for general educational purposes only, not personalised advice; suitability depends on an investor’s objectives, time horizon and risk tolerance. Past performance is not a guide to future results and distributions are not guaranteed.

Income via credit exposure
OXLC targets higher income by investing in structured and lower‑rated credit, which can offer attractive yields but also carries elevated credit and default risk.
Leverage amplifies outcomes
Use of leverage can boost returns in good markets and worsen losses in downturns; investors should weigh potential volatility alongside income objectives.
NAV vs market price
Shares may trade at a discount or premium to NAV driven by sentiment, liquidity and credit outlook—though discounts can persist and change unexpectedly.
