(OPP) is a closed-end fixed income fund managed by RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC with co-management by DoubleLine Capital, LP, focused on providing current income and total return to investors through a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities and related credit assets. The fund allocates assets across three principal strategies—Tactical Closed-End Fund Income, Core Fixed Income, and Opportunistic Income—driven by market conditions and implemented through RiverNorth’s Tactical CEF Income and Core Fixed Income/Opportunistic Income approaches (with DoubleLine handling the Opportunistic Income strategy) to seek income, yield enhancement, and capital appreciation in varying interest-rate and credit cycles [OPP investment mandate; strategy allocation; co-management structure].
