FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or this Report, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in Item 2 of Part I of this Report, contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements generally are characterized by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “will be,” and “project” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: increased direct competition; changes in government regulations or accounting rules; changes in local, national, and global economic conditions and capital market conditions; availability of proceeds from our offering of common shares; and the performance of Guggenheim Credit Income Fund (the “Master Fund”) and its common shares that we own. Our actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in the forward-looking statements for any reason. You should exercise caution in relying on forward-looking statements as they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may materially affect our future results, performance, achievements or transactions. Information on factors which could impact actual results and cause them to differ from what is anticipated in the forward-looking statements contained herein is included in this Report as well as in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited to those described in Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Report and in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, that was filed on March 22, 2024. Moreover, because we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, new risks are likely to emerge from time to time. Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on such statements, which apply only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or changes to future operating results over time unless otherwise required by law. The forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors identified in Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Report and in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, that was filed on March 22, 2024. The forward-looking statements and projections contained in this Report are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

All references to “Note” or “Notes” throughout this Report refer to the footnotes to the financial statements presented in Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited).

Unless otherwise noted, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to Guggenheim Credit Income Fund 2019. Other capitalized terms used in this Report have the same meaning as in the accompanying financial statements presented in Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited), unless otherwise defined herein. Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC is referred to as “Guggenheim” or the “Advisor” throughout this Report.

GUGGENHEIM CREDIT INCOME FUND 2019

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization

Guggenheim Credit Income Fund 2019 (the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on September 5, 2014. The Company’s investment objectives are to provide its shareholders with current income, capital preservation and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation by investing substantially all of its equity capital in Guggenheim Credit Income Fund (the “Master Fund” or “GCIF”). The Company is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company that elected to be treated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

The Master Fund elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and it has the same investment objectives as the Company. The Master Fund commenced investment operations on April 2, 2015. The Master Fund’s consolidated financial statements are an integral part of the Company’s financial statements and should be read in their entirety.

The Master Fund is externally managed by Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (“Guggenheim” or the “Advisor”), which is responsible for sourcing potential investments, analyzing and conducting due diligence on prospective investment opportunities, structuring investments and ongoing monitoring of the Master Fund’s investment portfolio.

The Company was selling its common shares (“Shares” or “Common Shares”) pursuant to a registration statement on Form N-2 (the “Initial Registration Statement”) covering its continuous public offering of up to $1.0 billion (the “Initial Public Offering”). The Company suspended its Initial Public Offering of Common Shares, effective August 23, 2017, in connection with (i) the transition of the Master Fund’s investment advisory function to Guggenheim and (ii) a concurrent change in the Initial Public Offering’s dealer manager. On March 29, 2018 the Company filed a new registration statement on Form N-2 (the “Registration Statement”) covering a continuous public offering of up to $958.6 million (the “Public Offering”, together with the Initial Public Offering, the “Public Offerings”). The Company’s initial Registration Statement with respect to the Public Offering was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 13, 2018, and post-effective amendments thereto updating certain financial information was declared effective by the SEC on April 25, 2019 and April 9, 2020. On December 31, 2020, the Company’s Public Offering was terminated, resulting in a gross capital raise of approximately $50 million from the sale and issuance of Common Shares in the Public Offerings since inception.

In accordance with the offering documents and the intention of Guggenheim Credit Income Fund 2016 T (“GCIF 2016T”) and the Company (together, the “Feeder Funds”) to provide substantial shareholder liquidity, the Boards of Trustees of the Master Fund and the Feeder Funds approved respective Plans of Liquidation for each company on March 30, 2021 (each, a “Liquidation Plan”). In accordance with the Liquidation Plans, the Board has declared multiple liquidating distributions. These distributions have been substantially composed of return of capital and have decreased the net asset value of the Master Fund and Feeder Funds. As such, the value on shareholder’s investment statements has decreased as liquidating distributions have been paid.

In accordance with the Liquidation Plan, the Master Fund and the Feeder Funds will remain registered as a BDC and intend to maintain their qualifications, as regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024, the Company owned 19.72% of the Master Fund’s outstanding common shares.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Management has determined that the Company meets the definition of an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 — Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC Topic 946”).

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company’s interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and the disclosure requirements stipulated in Articles 6 and 10 of Regulation S-X, and therefore do not necessarily include all information and notes necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim period presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results from operations. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year. The Company’s unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Master Fund’s unaudited consolidated financial statements; the Master Fund’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference and filed as an exhibit to this Report.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, (ii) the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period and (iii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Cash

Cash consists of demand deposits held at a major U.S. financial institution and the amount recorded on the statements of assets and liabilities may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. Management believes the credit risk related to its demand deposits is minimal.

Valuation of Investments

The Company invests substantially all of its equity capital in the purchase of the Master Fund’s common shares and its primary investment position is common shares of the Master Fund. The Company determines the fair value of the Master Fund’s common shares as the Master Fund’s net asset value per common share (as determined by the Master Fund) multiplied by the number of Master Fund common shares owned by the Company. The Company has implemented Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-07, which permits a reporting entity, as a practical expedient, to measure the fair value of certain investments using the net asset value per share of the investment.

Transactions with the Master Fund

Distributions received from the Master Fund are recorded on the record date. Distributions received from the Master Fund are generally recognized as dividend income or return of capital in the current period, a portion of which may be subject to a change in characterization in future periods, including the potential for reclassification between dividend income and return of capital. The Company’s transactions with the Master Fund are recorded on the effective date of the subscription in, or the redemption of, Master Fund shares. Realized gains and losses resulting from the Company’s share repurchase transactions with the Master Fund are calculated on the specific share identification basis.

Offering Expenses

Continuous offering expenses are capitalized monthly on the Company’s statements of assets and liabilities as deferred offering costs and thereafter expensed to the Company’s statements of operations over a 12-month period on a straight-line basis commencing at the later of (i) when the expense was incurred or (ii) when operations began.

Distributions to the Company’s Shareholders

Declared distributions to the Company’s shareholders are recorded as a liability as of the record date.

Federal Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intends to maintain its qualification, as a RIC under the Code. Generally, a RIC is not subject to federal income taxes on distributed income and gains if it distributes dividends in a timely manner out of assets legally available for distributions to its shareholders of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of its “Investment Company Taxable Income,” determined without regard to any dividend paid, as defined in the Code. The Company intends to distribute sufficient dividends to maintain its RIC status each year and it does not anticipate incurring a material level of federal income taxes.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company is generally subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if it does not distribute dividends to its shareholders in respect of each calendar year of an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gain net income (i.e., capital gains in excess of capital losses), adjusted for certain ordinary losses, for the one-year period generally ending on October 31^st of the calendar year and (iii) any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding calendar years that were not distributed during such calendar years and on which the Company incurred no federal income tax. The Company may, at its discretion, incur a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on under-distribution of taxable ordinary income and capital gains.

The Company follows ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Penalties or interest, if applicable, that may be assessed relating to income taxes would be classified as other expenses in the statements of operations. Management has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there is no effect to the Company’s financial positions or results of operations and no tax liability was required to be recorded resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. During this period, the Company did not incur any material interest or penalties. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024, open U.S. Federal and state income tax years include the tax years ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 through September 30, 2023. The Company has no examinations in progress. Management’s determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

Note 3. Investments

Restricted Securities

The Master Fund does not currently intend to list its common shares on any securities exchange, and it does not expect a secondary market to develop for its issued and outstanding common shares. As a result, the Company’s ability to sell its Master Fund common shares is limited. Because the Master Fund common shares are being acquired in one or more transactions not involving a public offering, they are “restricted securities” and may be required to be held indefinitely. Master Fund common shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of unless (i) the Master Fund’s consent is granted, and (ii) the Master Fund common shares are registered under applicable securities laws or specifically exempted from registration (in which case the Master Fund’s shareholder may, at the Master Fund’s option, be required to provide the Master Fund with a legal opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Master Fund, that registration is not required). Accordingly, a shareholder in the Master Fund, including the Company, must be willing to bear the economic risk of investing in the Master Fund common shares. No sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other disposition, whether voluntary or involuntary, of the Master Fund’s common shares may be made except by registration of the transfer on the Master Fund’s books. Each transferee will be required to execute an instrument agreeing to be bound by these restrictions and the other restrictions imposed on the Master Fund common shares and to execute such other instruments or certifications as are reasonably required by the Master Fund.

From October 15, 2015 through August 11, 2020, the Company acquired its investment in the Master Fund at prices ranging from $7.06 per share to $8.59 per share.

Share Repurchase Program

The Master Fund has implemented a share repurchase program, whereby it conducts tender offers each calendar quarter. In accordance with the Liquidation Plan, the Master Fund’s share repurchase program has been suspended effective March 30, 2021.

Note 4. Related Party Agreements and Transactions

The Company has entered into agreements with Guggenheim whereby the Company agrees to (i) receive expense support payments, (ii) reimburse certain expenses of, and to pay for, administrative, expense support, organization and offerings costs incurred by Guggenheim on the Company’s behalf and (iii) compensate Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC (“GFD”), an affiliate of Guggenheim, for capital market services in connection with the marketing and distribution of the Company’s Shares.

The memberships of the Company’s Board of Trustees (the “Company’s Board” or the “Board of Trustees”) and the Master Fund’s Board are identical and consequently the Company and the Master Fund are related parties. All of the Company’s executive officers also serve as executive officers of the Master Fund. One of the Company’s executive officers, Brian Binder, Senior Vice President, serves as an executive officer of Guggenheim.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company is party to an administrative services agreement with Guggenheim (the “Administrative Services Agreement”) whereby Guggenheim, serving as the administrator (the “Administrator”), has agreed to provide administrative services, including office facilities and equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record-keeping services. More specifically, the Administrator performs and oversees the Company’s required administrative services, which include financial and corporate record-keeping, preparing and disseminating the Company’s reports to its shareholders and filing reports with the SEC. In addition, the Administrator assists in determining net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns, overseeing the payment of expenses and distributions and overseeing the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, the Company reimburses the Administrator for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administrative Services Agreement. To the extent that the Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Company may pay the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis, without incremental profit to the Administrator.

The Administrative Services Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty: (i) by the Company upon 60 days’ written notice to Guggenheim upon the vote of the Company’s independent trustees or (ii) by Guggenheim upon not less than 120 days’ written notice to the Company. Unless earlier terminated, the Administrative Services Agreement will remain in effect for two years, and thereafter shall continue automatically for successive one-year periods if approved annually by a majority of the Board of Trustees and the Master Fund’s independent trustees.

Dealer Manager Agreement

The Company is party to a dealer manager agreement with GFD (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”). Under the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement, GFD is to act on a best efforts basis as the exclusive dealer manager for (i) the Company’s Public Offering and (ii) the public offering of common shares for future feeder funds affiliated with the Master Fund. The Company, not the Master Fund, is responsible for the compensation of GFD pursuant to the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement. The Dealer Manager Agreement may be terminated by the Company or GFD upon 60 calendar days’ written notice to the other party. In the event that the Company or GFD terminates the Dealer Manager Agreement with respect to the Company, the Dealer Manager Agreement will continue with respect to any other feeder fund.

Organization and Offering Expense Reimbursement Agreement

The Company is party to an organization and offering expense reimbursement agreement (the “O&O Agreement”) with Guggenheim. Under the O&O Agreement, the Company is to reimburse Guggenheim for organization and offering expenses incurred on the Company’s behalf, including, but not limited to, legal services, audit services, printer services and the registration of securities under the Securities Act. The reimbursement of organization and offering expenses is conditional on the Company’s receipt of equity capital from the sale of its Common Shares. Any such reimbursement would not exceed actual expenses incurred by Guggenheim and its affiliates. Guggenheim is responsible for the payment of the Company’s cumulative organization and offering expenses to the extent they exceeded 1.5% of the aggregate proceeds from the sale of the Company’s Common Shares, without recourse against or reimbursement by the Company.

Any costs incurred by Guggenheim related to the Initial Public Offering are no longer eligible for reimbursement. Any offering costs incurred by Guggenheim on behalf of the Company associated with the Public Offering are subject to reimbursement under the terms and conditions of the O&O Agreement. Under the terms of the O&O Agreement, the Company is not obligated to reimburse Guggenheim for any unreimbursed offering expenses after the close of the Company’s Public Offering on December 31, 2020.

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement

The Company entered into an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement with Guggenheim whereby Guggenheim agreed to reimburse the Company monthly for expenses in an amount equal to the difference between the Company’s cumulative distributions paid to its shareholders in each month less the sum of the Company’s estimated investment company taxable income and net capital gains in each month. The Expense Support Agreement will automatically terminate if (i) the Master Fund terminates the Investment Advisory Agreement with Guggenheim or (ii) the Company’s Board of Trustees makes a determination to dissolve or liquidate the Company. The Board of Trustees’ approval of a Liquidation Plan on March 30, 2021 is deemed a liquidity event and therefore, the Expense Support Agreement is deemed terminated.

~~Upon~~Pursuant ~~termination~~to of the Expense Support Agreement, the Company has a conditional obligation to reimburse Guggenheim for any amounts funded by Guggenheim under this arrangement or the Prior Expense Support Agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any month occurring within three years of the date on which Guggenheim isfunded ~~required~~such amount, the sum of the Company’s estimated investment company taxable income and net capital gains exceeds the ordinary cash distributions paid by the Company to ~~fund~~its shareholders; provided, however, that (i) the Company will only reimburse Guggenheim for expense payments made by Guggenheim to the extent that the payment of such reimbursement (together with any ~~amounts~~other ~~accrued~~reimbursement ~~thereunder~~paid during such fiscal year) does not cause “other operating expenses” (as defined below) (on an annualized basis and net of any expense support reimbursement payments received by the ~~date~~Company during such fiscal year) to exceed the lesser of ~~termination~~(A) 1.75% ~~Similarly,~~of the ~~conditional~~Company’s ~~obligation~~average net assets attributable to its Common Shares for the fiscal year-to-date period after taking such reimbursement payments into account and (B) the percentage of the Company’s average net assets attributable to its Common Shares represented by “other operating expenses” during the fiscal year in which such expense payment from the Advisor was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) will not apply to any reimbursement payment which relates to an expense payment from Guggenheim made during the same fiscal year); and (ii) the Company will not reimburse Guggenheim ~~pursuant~~for toexpense payments made by Guggenheim if the ~~terms~~annualized rate of regular cash distributions declared by the ~~Expense~~Company ~~Support~~at ~~Agreement~~the ~~shall~~time ~~survive~~of such reimbursement payment is less than the ~~termination~~ annualized rate of regular cash distributions declared by the ~~Expense~~Company ~~Support~~at ~~Agreement~~the time Guggenheim made the expense payment to which such reimbursement payment relates. “Other operating expenses” means the Company’s total “operating expenses” (as defined below), excluding any investment advisory fee, performance-based incentive fees, organization and offering expenses, interest expense, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. “Operating expenses” means all operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with GAAP for investment companies.

Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Company has a conditional obligation to reimburse Guggenheim for any amounts funded by Guggenheim under this arrangement or the Prior Expense Support Agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any month occurring within three years of the date on which Guggenheim funded such amount, the sum of the Company’s estimated investment company taxable income and net capital gains exceeds the ordinary cash distributions paid by the Company to its shareholders; provided, however, that (i) the Company will only reimburse Guggenheim for expense payments made by Guggenheim to the extent that the payment of such reimbursement (together with any other reimbursement paid during such fiscal year) does not cause “other operating expenses” (as defined below) (on an annualized basis and net of any expense support reimbursement payments received by the Company during such fiscal year) to exceed the lesser of (A) 1.73% of the Company’s average net assets attributable to its Common Shares for the fiscal year-to-date period after taking such reimbursement payments into account and (B) the percentage of the Company’s average net assets attributable to its Common Shares represented by “other operating expenses” during the fiscal year in which such expense payment from the Advisor was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) will not apply to any reimbursement payment which relates to an expense payment from Guggenheim made during the same fiscal year); and (ii) the Company will not reimburse Guggenheim for expense payments made by Guggenheim if the annualized rate of regular cash distributions declared by the Company at the time of such reimbursement payment is less than the annualized rate of regular cash distributions declared by the Company at the time Guggenheim made the expense payment to which such reimbursement payment relates. “Other operating expenses” means the Company’s total “operating expenses” (as defined below), excluding any investment advisory fee, performance-based incentive fees, organization and offering expenses, interest expense, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. “Operating expenses” means all operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with GAAP for investment companies.

As of the Board of Trustees’ approval of the Liquidation Plan, the total amount of expense support received from Guggenheim that is still eligible for reimbursement is $967,781. The Company has determined that it is unlikely to receive expense support from Guggenheim.

Indemnification

The Administrative Services ~~Agreement~~ Agreement provides certain indemnification to Guggenheim, its directors, officers, persons associated with Guggenheim and its affiliates. In addition, the Company’s Declaration of Trust, as amended, provides certain indemnifications to its officers, trustees, agents and certain ~~other~~ other persons. The Dealer Manager Agreement provides for certain indemnifications from the Company (with respect to the primary offering of of its Common Shares) to GFD, any selected dealers and their respective officers, directors, employees, members, affiliates, agents, representatives and, if any, each person who controls such person or entity within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. Such indemnifications are subject to certain limitations as provided for in the Company’s Declaration of Trust and the North American Securities Administrators Association Guidelines and are considered customary by management. As of ~~June~~September 30, ~~2024~~ 2024 and December 31, 2023, management believes that the risk of incurring any losses for such indemnification is remote.

(1)

The per Common Share data was derived by using the weighted average Common Shares outstanding during the period presented.

(2)

The amounts shown at this caption are the balancing figures derived from the other figures in the schedule. The amounts shown at this caption for a Common Share outstanding throughout the period may not agree with the change in the aggregate gains and losses in portfolio securities for the period because of the timing of sales of the Company’s Common Shares in relation to fluctuating market values for the portfolio.

(3)

The per Common Share data for distributions is the actual amount of distributions paid or payable per Common Share outstanding during the entire period; distributions per Common Share are rounded to the nearest $0.01. For income tax purposes, distributions made to shareholders are reported as ordinary income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital or a combination thereof, based on taxable income calculated in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from amounts determined under GAAP. The tax character of distribution shown above is an estimate since the exact amount cannot be determined at this point. The final determination of the tax character of distributions will not be made until we file our tax return.

(4)

Total investment return-net asset value is a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held the Company’s Common Shares at the beginning and end of the period, including distributions declared during the period. Total investment return-net asset value is based on (i) net asset value per share on the first day of the period, (ii) the net asset value per share on the last day of the period, plus any shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of monthly distributions and (iii) distributions payable relating to the ownership of shares, if any, on the last day of the period. The total investment return-net asset value calculation assumes that distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan, net of sales load, on each monthly distribution payment date. Because there is no public market for the Company’s shares, the terminal market value per share is assumed to be equal to net asset value per share on the last day of the period presented. Investment performance is presented without regard to sales load that may be incurred by shareholders in the purchase of the Company’s Common Shares. The Company’s performance changes over time and currently may be different than that shown above. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

(5)

The computation of average net assets during the period is based on averaging the amount on the first day of the first month of the period and the last day of each month during the period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(6) The ratios-to-average net assets do not include any proportionate allocation of income and expenses incurred at the Master Fund. The Master Fund’s total expenses-to-average net assets for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and ~~June~~September 30, 2023, were 41.2320% and 23.2360% respectively.

In accordance with the offering documents and the intention of Guggenheim Credit Income Fund 2016 T (“GCIF 2016T”) and Guggenheim Credit Income Fund 2019 (“GCIF 2019”) (together, the “Feeder Funds”) to provide substantial shareholder liquidity, the Boards of Trustees of the Master Fund and the Feeder Funds approved respective Plans of Liquidation for each company on March 30, 2021 (each, a “Liquidation Plan”). In accordance with the Liquidation Plans, the Board has declared multiple liquidating distributions which are outlined in the table below. These distributions have been substantially composed of return of capital and have decreased the net asset value of the Master Fund and Feeder Funds. As such, the value on shareholder’s investment statements has decreased as liquidating distributions have been paid.

For the Master Fund, as of ~~August~~ November 13, 2024, over 99% of the NAV has been declared to be paid to shareholders in the form of liquidating distributions.

The table below is intended to highlight some relevant metrics associated with the Plans of Liquidation ($ in thousands).

Investment Objectives and Investment Program

Our investment objectives are to provide our shareholders with current income, capital preservation and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation.

We intend to meet our investment objectives by investing substantially all of our equity capital in the Master Fund. The Master Fund’s investment objectives are the same as our own. Prior to the Board of Trustees’ approval of the Liquidation Plan, the Master Fund’s investment strategy was focused on creating and growing an investment portfolio that generates superior risk-adjusted returns by carefully selecting investments through rigorous due diligence and actively managing and monitoring its investment portfolio. When evaluating an investment and the related portfolio company, the Master Fund uses the resources of its advisor to develop an investment thesis and a proprietary view of a potential portfolio company’s intrinsic value. We believe the Master Fund’s flexible approach to investing allows it to take advantage of opportunities that offer favorable risk/reward characteristics.

1516

The Master Fund primarily focused on the following range of investment types that may be available within the capital structure of portfolio companies:

•● Senior Debt. Senior debt investments generally take a security interest in the available assets of the portfolio company, including equity interests in any of its subsidiaries. The senior debt classification includes senior secured first lien loans, senior secured second lien loans, senior secured bonds and senior unsecured debt. In some circumstances, the secured lien could be subordinated to the claims of other creditors. While there is no specific collateral associated with senior unsecured debt, such positions are senior in payment priority over subordinated debt creditors.

•● Subordinated Debt. Subordinated debt investments are generally subordinated to senior debt investments and are generally unsecured. These investments are generally structured with interest-only payments throughout the life of the security with the principal due at maturity.

•● Equity Investments. Preferred and/or common equity investments may be acquired alongside senior and subordinated debt investment activities or through the exercising of warrants or options attached to debt investments. Income is generated primarily through regular or sporadic dividends and realized gains on dispositions of such investments.

The Master Fund’s investment activities may vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including: the demand for capital from creditworthy privately owned U.S. companies, the level of merger, acquisition and refinancing activity involving private companies, the availability of credit to finance transactions, the general economic environment, the competitive investment environment for the types of investments the Master Fund currently seeks and intends to seek in the future, the amount of equity capital the Master Fund raises from the sale of its common shares to us and any other feeder funds and the amount and cost of capital that the Master Fund may borrow.

The Master Fund acquires its portfolio investments through the following investment access channels:

•● Direct Originations: This channel consists of investments that are directly originated through Guggenheim’s relationship network. Such investments are originated and/or structured by Guggenheim and are not generally available to the broader investment market. These investments may include both debt and equity investment components.

•● Syndicated Transactions: This channel primarily includes investments in broadly syndicated loans and high yield bonds, typically originated and arranged by investment intermediaries other than Guggenheim. These investments may be purchased at the original syndication or in the secondary through various trading markets.

On July 15, 2015, the staff of the SEC issued a no action letter to the Master Fund and Guggenheim Credit Income Fund 2016 T (the “Initial Feeder Fund”), permitting the Master Fund, the Initial Feeder Fund and any other feeder fund that may be created in the future that invests all or substantially all its assets in the Master Fund (each, an “Additional Feeder Fund” and collectively with the Initial Feeder Fund, the “Feeder Funds”) to operate in a master/feeder fund structure. More specifically, the no action letter permits:

•● a Feeder Fund to operate as a BDC under the 1940 Act;

•● a Feeder Fund to look through the Master Fund and treat as its assets its proportionate ownership interest in the Master Fund’s assets; and

•● the Master Fund to repurchase its shares in connection with the planned liquidation of a Feeder Fund at the end of the Feeder Fund’s finite term.

Revenue

Dividend income from our ownership of the Master Fund’s common shares is our source of investment income. Our revenue will fluctuate with the operating performance of the Master Fund and its distributions paid to us.

Operating Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include administrative services, related party reimbursements, custodian and accounting services, independent audit services, compliance services, tax services, legal services, transfer agent services, organization expenses and offering expenses. Additionally, we indirectly bear the operating expenses of the Master Fund through our ownership of its common shares, such as an investment advisory fee, a performance-based incentive fee, independent audit services, third-party valuation services and various other professional services fees.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of cash ~~include~~ include (i) ~~the sale of~~ our ~~Common Shares, (ii) our~~ shareholders’ reinvestment of their distributions, (~~iii~~ii) distributions, including capital gains, if any, received from our ownership of the Master Fund’s common shares, (iviii) expense support payments pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement and (viv) the sale of our owned Master Fund shares in conjunction with its share repurchase program. Our primary uses of cash include (i) investment in the Master Fund’s common shares, (ii) payment of operating expenses, (iii) cash distributions to our shareholders, (iv) periodic repurchases of our Common Shares pursuant to our share repurchase program and (v) reimbursement payments for prior period expense support payments. We are not permitted to issue any senior securities, including preferred securities.

We manage our assets and liabilities such that current assets are sufficient to cover current liabilities, and excess cash, if any, is invested in the acquisition of Master Fund’s common shares.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income, expense, gain and loss during the reporting period. We believe that the estimates and assumptions utilized in preparing the financial statements are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies.

Valuation of Investments

We invest substantially all of our equity capital in the purchase of Master Fund common shares. We determine the fair value of our investment in the Master Fund as the Master Fund’s net asset value per common share (as determined by the Master Fund) multiplied by the number of Master Fund common shares that we own.

Contractual Obligations

Commitments

We have not entered into any agreements under which we have material future commitments that cannot otherwise be terminated within a reasonable time period.

Related Party Agreements and Transactions

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement

We have entered into agreements with Guggenheim whereby we agreed to (i) receive expense support payments and to conditionally reimburse it for prior period expense support payments, (ii) pay for administrative services and (iii) compensate Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC (“GFD”), an affiliate of Guggenheim, for capital market services in connection with the marketing and distribution of our Shares. See Note 4. Related Party Agreements and Transactions for a discussion of related party transactions and expense reimbursement agreements.

Reimbursement of Guggenheim for Organization and Offering Expenses

Under the terms of the O&O Agreement, we agreed to reimburse Guggenheim for our organization and offering expenses solely in connection with the capital raise of our Public Offering (See Note 4. Related Party Agreements and Transactions).

Reimbursement of the Administrator for Administrative Services

We reimburse the Administrator for its expenses in connection with the provision of administrative services to us. These reimbursement expenses are periodically reviewed and approved by the Independent Trustees Committee of our Board of Trustees. See Note 4. Related Party Agreements and Transactions for a summary of reimbursable expenses as related to administrative services.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to financial ~~market~~ market risks, including changes in interest rates through our investment in the Master Fund. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024, 9899.5% of the Master Fund’s debt investments (8798.71% of total investments), or $109.43 million measured at fair value, are subject to floating interest rates. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to (i) higher interest income for the Master Fund’s floating rate debt investments, (ii) value declines for fixed rate investments the Master Fund may hold and (iii) higher interest expense in connection with the Master Fund’s floating rate credit facility. To the extent that a majority of the Master Fund’s investments may be in floating rate investments, an increase in interest rates could also make it more difficult for borrowers to repay their loans, and a rise in interest rates may also make it easier for the Advisor to meet or exceed the quarterly threshold for a performance-based incentive fee as described in Note 6. Related Party Agreements and Transactions of the Master Fund’s consolidated financial statements.

Based on our investment in ~~the~~ the Master Fund as of ~~June~~September 30, 2024, the following table presents the approximate annualized increase in value per outstanding Common Share due to (i) interest income from the Master Fund’s investment portfolio and (ii) interest expense on the Master Fund’s floating rate borrowings, directly resulting from hypothetical changes in base rate interest rates (e.g., SOFR), assuming no changes in (i) the number of outstanding Common Shares, (ii) the number of outstanding Master Fund Shares and (iii) our percent ownership of Master Fund shares:

Basis Points (bps) Increase (Decrease)	Annualized Net Increase (Decrease)			Net Increase (Decrease) per Share
-50 bps	$	(1413.60	)	$	(0.01	)
+50 bps		14			0.01
+100 bps		27			0.02
+150 bps		41			0.02
+200 bps		55			0.03

The Master Fund regularly measures its exposure to interest rate risk. The Master Fund assesses interest rate risk and manages its interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing its interest rate sensitive assets to its interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on that review, the Master Fund determines whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.

Our Chief Executive Officer ~~and~~ and Chief Financial Officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design ~~and~~ and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~June~~September 30, 2024, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, were effective as of ~~June~~September 30, 2024 at a reasonable level of assurance.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

As of ~~August~~ November 13, 2024, we were not subject to any material legal proceedings, and, to our knowledge, there were no material legal proceedings threatened against us.

1920

From time to time, we, or our administrator, may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of, or incidental to the normal course of, our business, including legal proceedings related to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While legal proceedings, lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings are subject to many uncertainties and their ultimate outcomes are not predictable with assurance, the results of these proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

InThere ~~addition~~have tobeen ~~the~~no ~~other~~material ~~information~~changes ~~set~~to ~~forth in this Report, you should carefully consider~~ the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our ~~annual report~~Annual onReport ~~Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our annual report~~ on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties are not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Inflation may adversely affect the business, results of operations and financial condition of our portfolio companies.

Certain of our portfolio companies may be impacted by inflation. If such portfolio companies are unable pass any increases in their costs along to their customers, it could adversely affect their results and their ability to impacting their ability to pay interest and principal on our loans. In addition, any projected future decreases in our portfolio companies’ operating results due to inflation could adversely impact the fair value of those investments. Any decreases in the fair value of our investments could result in future unrealized losses and therefore reduce our net assets resulting from operations.

The Company is currently operating in a period of capital markets disruption, significant volatility and economic uncertainty.

The global capital markets are experiencing a period of disruption and instability resulting in increasing spreads between the yields realized on riskier debt securities and those realized on risk-free securities, lack of liquidity in parts of the debt capital markets, significant write-offs in the financial services sector and the re-pricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated market. Highly disruptive market conditions have resulted in increasing volatility and illiquidity in the global credit, debt and equity markets generally. The duration and ultimate effect of such market conditions cannot be accurately forecasted. Extreme uncertainty regarding economic markets is resulting in declines in the market values of potential investments and declines in the market values of investments after they are made or acquired by the Company and affecting the potential for liquidity events involving such investments or portfolio companies. During periods of market disruption, portfolio companies may be more likely to seek to draw on unfunded commitments the Company has made, and the risk of being unable to fund such commitments is heightened during such periods. Applicable accounting standards require the Company to determine the fair value of its investments as the amount that would be received in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. While most of the Company’s investments are not publicly traded, as part of the Company’s valuation process the Company considers a number of measures, including comparison to publicly traded securities. As a result, volatility in the public capital markets can adversely affect the Company’s investment valuations.

Various social and political tensions around the world, including public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), may contribute to increased market volatility, may have long-term effects on the worldwide financial markets and may cause further economic uncertainties worldwide. In particular, the consequences of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including international sanctions, the potential impact on inflation and increased disruption to supply chains may impact portfolio companies. Such consequences also may increase the Company’s funding cost or limit its access to the capital markets.

A prolonged period of market illiquidity may cause the Company to reduce the volume of loans and debt securities originated and/or fund and adversely affect the value of the Company’s portfolio investments, which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

(a) None.

(b) None.

(c) The Company had implemented a share repurchase program, whereby it conducts tender offers each calendar quarter. In accordance with the Liquidation Plan, the Company’s share repurchase program has been suspended effective March 30, 2021.

Item 5. Other Information.

~~None~~During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.”
