The Index is a sub-index of the XAI Internal Fund IndexTM (“INTVL”).

Summary Methodology

Index Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for the Index, a fund must:
  • Be domiciled in the United States
  • Be a constituent of the XAI Interval Fund Index; and:
    • Be categorized as a “Credit Fund” by the Index Committee. In determining whether a Fund is a Credit Fund, the Index Committee may consider a Fund’s investment objectives, investment strategy, and investment holdings, among other factors. Credit fund securities include but are not limited to structured credit securities, such as collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), broadly syndicated loans, private debt, leveraged loans, asset backed credit securities, floating or variable loan interests, and other assets providing exposure to credit instruments.
  • Not have shares listed on a national stock exchange (or other stock exchange), with the exception of preferred shares
  • Have minimum total net assets of $100 million U.S. dollars as of rebalancing date
    • A constituent fund shall continue to be included in the Index if its NAV decreases to a level below $100 million, as long as its NAV is greater than or equal to 75% of the previously defined NAV minimum.
  • Have an inception date or commencement of operations of at least three months prior to base date or rebalancing date
  • Have a Nasdaq Fund Network (NFN) ticker symbol for at least one class of shares that is updated on a daily or weekly basis
Constituent Weighting Constraints
The Index is weighted based on each constituent fund’s NAV. Any constituent fund with an Index weight greater than 15% will be capped at 15% and the remaining weight of that constituent fund will be redistributed proportionally to the remaining constituent funds in the Index. The five (5) highest-weighted constituent funds will be capped at a cumulative 75% of the Index’s weight; the remaining cumulative weight of the five (5) constituent funds will be redistributed proportionally to the remaining constituent funds in the Index.
Reconstitutions and Rebalances
The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced on a quarterly schedule. The rebalanced Index is calculated effective as of the end of day on the last trading day of March, June, September and December each year. The rebalance date may be changed for various reasons including market holidays occurring on or around the scheduled rebalance date. Any such change will be announced with proper advance notice when possible.
