Priority Income Fund, Inc. (PRIF-PH) operates as an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end fund that seeks current income and secondary long-term capital appreciation through investments primarily in senior secured, floating-rate loans to below-investment-grade U.S. companies; securitized pools of such loans including collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) with exposure to equity and junior tranches; and direct senior secured loans in primary or secondary markets, focusing on first-lien positions with large borrowers averaging over $100 million in EBITDA. The fund, founded in 2013 and headquartered at 10 East 40th Street, 42nd Floor, New York, NY, manages a diversified portfolio with exposure to thousands of underlying loans across industries, emphasizing capital preservation through senior claims and floating rates tied to benchmarks like SOFR or LIBOR with floors. It targets monthly distributions to shareholders, historically around 10-22% annualized, supported by net investment income from its approximately $600 million in assets under management.
In recent developments, the fund announced a 22.0% annualized total distribution rate in September 2025, comprising base and bonus components through common shareholder payouts; it continues monthly and quarterly special distributions with 83+ consecutive months paid since inception; and maintains operations under adviser Priority Senior Income Management, LLC, affiliated with Prospect Capital Management L.P., amid ongoing preferred stock series like PRIF-PK and redemptions such as the 6.0% Series H Term Preferred in early 2025.
