PHILADELPHIA , Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of FS Credit Opportunities Corp. (the Fund) (NYSE: FSCO) announced the monthly distribution for August 2025. The distribution of $0.0678 per share will be paid on August 29, 2025.

PHILADELPHIA , Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- FS Credit Opportunities Corp. (NYSE: FSCO) today announced that it will release its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, on Monday, August 25, 2025, after the market close. The Company will also post an earnings presentation with financial information, which will be accessible after the market close on Monday, August 25, 2025, on the FSCO website under the Investor Relations section at:  https://www.futurestandard.com/investments/fs-credit-opportunities-corp.

FS Credit Opportunities Fund targets high and stable income, focusing on private credit investments similar to business development companies (BDCs). FSCO's 11.3% distribution yield is competitive with BDCs, making it appealing for income-focused investors seeking credit-driven exposure. FSCO offers key advantages, but the main differences to BDCs should not be ignored.

When 401(k)s and IRAs replaced "defined benefit pensions" a few decades ago, we all suddenly became our own "pension managers." The investment and media industries quickly "taught" us all to focus our attention on stock prices and short-term gains and losses. That's what attracted viewers and kept them tuned in to CNBC and Bloomberg all day.

PHILADELPHIA , July 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of FS Credit Opportunities Corp. (the Fund) (NYSE: FSCO) announced the monthly distribution for July 2025. The distribution of $0.0678 per share will be paid on July 31, 2025.

We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the second week of June and highlight recent market action. CEFs had a strong week, with most sectors posting positive NAV returns. HYI will hold a tender offer - the result of which will determine whether it remains outstanding.

FSCO's closed-end structure offers superior performance and liquidity for private credit, with a 10.8% yield and strong NAV outperformance. The fund's portfolio is 73% private debt and 69% floating rate, providing resilience against market volatility and rising rates. Valuation has improved as the discount narrowed, but FSCO remains modestly cheap versus peers and could trade at a premium long-term.

FSCO offers a compelling double-digit yield, backed by a sustainable income strategy and active management focused on senior secured, mostly floating-rate credit. The fund's flexible approach—shifting between public and private credit, with a focus on first-lien loans—positions it well for changing rate environments. Management's proactive risk management, sector diversification, and significant spillover income provide resilience against potential rate cuts and market volatility.

PHILADELPHIA , June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of FS Credit Opportunities Corp. (the Fund or FSCO) (NYSE: FSCO) announced today an increase to the monthly distribution rate for June 2025. The June distribution will be paid on or about June 30, 2025, at $0.0678 per share, representing an increase of approximately 5.1% over the May distribution.

FSCO offers both capital appreciation and a high 11% dividend yield, making it attractive for income-focused investors despite a shrinking discount to NAV. The fund's focus on senior secured first lien debt and selective new investments limits risk and supports consistent NAV and earnings growth. Strong net investment income consistently covers distributions, reducing reliance on realized gains and supporting multiple dividend increases since inception.

Some distributions are attractive. And some distributions are downright juicy.

Concerns about "capitulation" seem more appropriate to equity than to credit investing, given the wider swings - up and down - inherent in stocks. Credit investing has more of a floor under the risk we are taking, even after you factor in the likelihood of occasional defaults. Fortunately, we have lots of data through economic cycles and market crashes of all types, to help us model credit investing outcomes.
