Investment Objective
To originate and underwrite a diversified and defensive portfolio of privately negotiated, senior secured term loans to European middle market companies.
Investment Approach

The Fund's investment objective is to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns for investors through a combination of ongoing current cash yield and repayment of principal, with upside through equity or equity-like participations. The investment approach is focused on long-term credit performance, risk mitigation and preservation of capital.

Investment Strategy

EPIF’s investment strategy is to originate and underwrite a diversified and defensive portfolio of privately negotiated, senior secured loans and second lien senior secured term loans to European middle market companies that have leading market positions, enjoy higher barriers to entry, generate strong and stable free cash flow, and are led by a proven management team with strong financial sponsor backing.

On a selective basis, it may also invest in subordinated debt instruments and equity or equity like instruments in combination with debt investments.

To provide enhanced liquidity for investors, the Fund is expected to invest c.10% 4 of its capital in broadly syndicated loans and bonds.

Key Risks As of 12-Nov-2025
 
 
  • Lack of Liquidity: There is no public trading market for shares in the European Private Income Fund (“EPIF” or the “Fund”), and none is expected to develop. While quarterly liquidity is generally provided, redemptions are limited to 5% of the Fund's Net Asset Value per quarter. Significant redemption requests may force premature liquidation of investments, potentially causing losses. The Fund may also suspend redemptions, further limiting investor access to capital and potentially reducing investment value before redemption is permitted.
  • Risk of Fund Leverage: The Fund may incur substantial leverage, increasing exposure to adverse economic factors (e.g., rising interest rates, downturns, or deteriorating investment conditions). Leverage can amplify both gains and losses; if returns are less than the cost of funds, losses are magnified.
  • General economic and market conditions: The Fund is exposed to risks from changing economic, political, regulatory, or market conditions, including interest rates, credit availability, currency fluctuations, trade barriers, natural disasters, and pandemics. Such factors may impact investment opportunities and the value of current or prospective investments.
  • Credit and Currency Risk: There is a risk that issuers may default on debt obligations, adversely affecting Fund returns. Costs are incurred in multiple currencies, and fluctuations in exchange rates can increase or decrease Fund costs.
  • Dependence on the Investment Manager: The Fund's performance is highly dependent on the expertise of Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited (“MSIM”) and its personnel. Loss of key individuals could materially impact Fund performance.
  • Incentive and Management Fees: Fee structures may incentivize the Fund to make more speculative investments, accelerate investment pace, or hold investments longer than optimal. Management fees based on Net Asset Value may also encourage additional borrowing.
  • Conflicts of Interest: Morgan Stanley's multiple roles (investment manager and service provider to various funds/accounts) may create conflicts of interest that are not fully mitigated by existing policies or agreements.
  • Sustainability Risk: Environmental, social, or governance events could materially and negatively impact the Fund's value. Sustainability risks are integrated into investment decision-making and risk monitoring as they may affect long-term risk-adjusted returns.
  • For a more comprehensive list of risks please refer to the prospectus of the Fund.

WAM is the weighted average maturity of the portfolio. The WAM calculation utilizes the interest-rate reset date, rather than a security's stated final maturity, for variable- and floating- rate securities. By looking to a portfolio's interest rate reset schedule in lieu of final maturity dates, the WAM measure effectively captures a fund's exposure to interest rate movements and the potential price impact resulting from interest rate movements.

 

WAL is the weighted average life of the portfolio. The WAL calculation utilizes a security's stated final maturity date or, when relevant, the date of the next demand feature when the fund may receive payment of principal and interest (such as a put feature). Accordingly, WAL reflects how a portfolio would react to deteriorating credit (widening spreads) or tightening liquidity conditions.
