1WS Credit Income Fund Management Commentary
  October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

The 1WS Credit Income Fund (the “Fund”)
was launched in March 2019. As of October 31, 2023, the Fund has gross assets under management of approximately $219 million (approximately
$161 million net assets). The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end investment management company. Its investment objective is to seek
attractive risk-adjusted total returns through generating income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in a wide array of predominantly
structured credit and securitized debt instruments.

 

Overview: 

The level and direction of interest rates remain at
the center of capital market volatility as investors continue to debate the path of future monetary policy and economic growth. Thus far,
the economy has withstood the Fed’s monetary policy tightening quite well, in our opinion. In fact, we believe the surprising resilience
of YTD economic growth has increased optimism for a so-called soft landing. Consumer spending, which accounts for approximately 70% of
the U.S. economy, has remained strong – in part, we believe, due to continued strength in the labor market, accumulated excess savings
from the pandemic, student loan moratorium, and the majority of consumer debt (mortgage debt) being locked in at low fixed rates rather
than affected by the rapid rise in rates over the past 18 months. However, we believe headwinds are building, and tailwinds abating, for
some consumer sectors. This could increase economic risk and the potential for higher market volatility in the future.

 

Consumers have been drawing down excess savings accrued
during the pandemic for a couple of years, and this is particularly true for the lowest-income cohorts. In addition, while the majority
of consumer debt (mortgage debt) is locked in at lower fixed rates, lower income groups have a higher share of consumer loans, often with
variable rate such as credit cards. We believe this is one of the reasons that subprime borrowers are experiencing much more stress from
higher interest rates. Continuing high inflation and the recent run-up in energy prices will also increasingly burden the lowest-income
consumers, in our opinion. We have already begun to see an increase in delinquencies across some consumer loan types, in particular auto
loans, personal loans, and credit cards. With the resumption of student loan payments, financial stresses on some consumer borrowers will
likely increase.

 

While recognizing the continuing elevated economic
and fundamental uncertainty, we believe there are currently many attractive risk-adjusted return opportunities across structured credit
– both outright and, even more so, relative to their corporate credit benchmarks. We believe many structured credit sectors currently
trade at attractive discounts to historical valuations.

 

Net Return Performance as of 10/31/23*

ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index2 4.66% 5.82% 11.76%

 

* OWSCX and OWSAX returns are presented net of all fees and expenses, benchmark returns are gross. Please see pp. 5-6 for important
disclaimers.

 

** OWSAX returns prior to May 2021 reflect the performance of Class I shares,
adjusted to reflect the distribution and shareholder servicing fees applicable to Class A-2 shares. Additional information on the relevance
of Class I performance prior to May 2021 is available upon request by calling the client service number provided at the bottom of this
page. Class A-2 shares are subject to an upfront sales load of up to 3%, which is not reflected in the returns shown above and, if applied,
would lower such returns.

 

Management Fee: The stated rate of the Management
Fee under the Advisory Agreement is 1.5% applied to the daily gross assets of the Fund. “Gross Assets” means the total assets
of the Fund prior to deducting liabilities. Derivatives will be valued at market value for purposes of determining “Gross Assets”
in the calculation of management fees. Because the Management Fee is based on the Fund’s daily gross assets, the Fund’s use of leverage,
if any, will increase the Management Fee paid to the Adviser. For the initial year of the Fund, the Adviser voluntarily agreed to reduce
the Management Fee to .75%. For the one-year period beginning on March 1, 2020, and continuing through the present, the Adviser has voluntarily
agreed to reduce the Management Fee to 1.25% of the Fund’s daily gross assets. The Adviser’s board is under no obligation
to continue the fee waiver but may continue to do so.

1WS Credit Income Fund Management Commentary
  October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

Portfolio Activity:

Continued strength of the U.S economy, despite the
historical rise in the Fed Funds target rate over the past 18 months, has caused many investors to reassess their view on how quickly
they believe the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in the future. We would characterize much of structured credit markets as continuing
to have significant dispersion within and across sectors and collateral pools, particularly in more credit-sensitive sectors of the capital
structure. This re-enforces the need for comprehensive underwriting in order to identify the most attractive return opportunities and
quantify embedded risks.

 

Challenges within the commercial real estate (CRE)
market due to increased fundamental uncertainty continue to garner daily headlines. While the greatest challenges are faced by the office
sector due to post pandemic increases in vacancies, all major CRE sectors are struggling with valuation pressures due to higher interest
rates, increasing operating expenses, and increased return requirements among providers of capital. As existing loans mature, many sponsors
are struggling with their ability to refinance without adding significant new equity and generally at much higher borrowing rates. These
general themes continue and have arguably intensified. Higher long-term rates puts greater pressure on cap rates as investors must model
higher return requirements in their terminal valuations.

 

Despite the macro market headwinds facing CRE, it
is important to remember that it is not a homogeneous market. CRE is property specific, or at least that is how we have generally approached
investments within the sector. Even within the office sector, where challenges are currently greatest, there is significant dispersion
with respect to property-specific performance and fundamentals. It is for this reason that, historically, we have had limited exposure
to pooled conduit CMBS and have favored single-asset single-borrower (SASB) structures, which allows us to be targeted when choosing our
exposures.

 

Residential Credit fundamentals remain strong, supported
by a continuing strong labor market and sharp increase in home prices over the past several years. Unlike other sectors of consumer credit,
which are seeing increases in delinquencies off of recent lows, mortgage delinquencies continue to decline. Residential mortgage foreclosures
are also near historic lows. The majority of homeowners with existing mortgages are paying fixed rates that are well below current mortgage
rates and are not subject to resetting higher. In addition to being a credit positive for existing homeowners, these low fixed-rate mortgages
are also supporting home prices by reducing the supply of homes available for sale. Borrowers are reluctant to sell their existing home
and move as the cost to finance a new home purchase would be at a significantly higher mortgage rate.

 

We remain active across the legacy residential mortgage
sector when we are able to identify securities that we believe will realize higher and quicker cash flow recoveries relative to market
assumptions. The majority of seasoned RMBS have experienced meaningful home price appreciation (HPA), which has deleveraged the embedded
credit risk in outstanding securities. However, the bulk of securitizations has been written down due to past losses and forbearance modifications.
In the case of forbearance modifications, these cash flows can be recovered if the underlying mortgage is eventually paid off. A larger
and quicker recovery of cash flows can have a material impact on the realized return of these discount bonds.

 

We also continue to be active across the credit risk
transfer (CRT) sector following the large dislocation last year. The sector has performed strongly in 2023 as home prices have recovered,
fundamentals have remained strong, and supply has been limited. We have generally favored more seasoned securities with built-up HPA lower
in the capital structure while adding less seasoned exposures higher in the capital structure.

 

Delinquencies have been increasing across many consumer
loan segments, and we believe that intensifying headwinds could cause accelerating deterioration in some performance metrics. As a result,
we believe that thorough analysis of the underlying collateral (both collateral composition and underwriting integrity), along with discrete
deal structures, are increasingly paramount to uncovering value and identifying potential risks within consumer ABS. While underwriting
is always important, particularly for investors in the fulcrum and lower credit supported tranches, it becomes even more critical in periods
of increasing fundamental uncertainty and a desire to maintain origination volumes among certain consumer lenders, in our opinion. There
is no one-size-fits-all that applies to the analysis and performance forecasting of consumer ABS – or any structured credit asset class,
for that matter.

 

The good news, in today’s market, is that this
elevated uncertainty has increased dispersion among investors regarding the appropriate modeling assumptions (and therefore pricing) of
securities across sectors, issuers, and vintages. Whether it be credit tiering across loan types/issuers/vintages, or relative performance
across alternative sub-sectors, we believe consensus surrounding expected default probabilities is in short supply. In this type of market,
we believe the best risk-adjusted return opportunities are often found. We continue to be active within and across consumer ABS sectors.
We rely on our underwriting to identify highly attractive risk-adjusted opportunities and do not shy away from distressed opportunities
if we believe the risk is appropriately priced.

 

We continue to be active in the Non-Dollar ABS sector,
within which we continue to believe valuations are attractive relative to comparable sectors in the U.S. As in the U.S, uncertainty regarding
consumer fundamentals has been increasing and dispersion across originators/issuers/vintages necessitates a sharp focus on underwriting
to differentiate across collateral pools and deal structures.

 

Annual Report | October 31, 2023 3
1WS Credit Income Fund Management Commentary
  October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

While not increasing exposures to the CLO sector this
year, we have been much more actively trading relative value opportunities within the sector and up and down the capital structure. While
outright defaults within the leveraged loan universe continue to remain modest, we believe rising debt burdens as a result of higher interest
rates continues to be a headwind that will present a better entry point for increasing aggregate exposure.

 

We believe that our use of derivatives is beneficial
in managing portfolio risk exposures and navigating volatile interest rate and credit markets. In particular, we hedge portfolio interest
rate exposure as well as any foreign exchange exposure arising from our non-dollar investments. We can also employ tactical or directional
credit derivatives to help manage credit exposure across our portfolio. Our interest rate hedges have been particularly beneficial over
the past year given monetary policy tightening and the resulting increase in interest rates.

 

Outlook: 

We believe that the market environment, which began
with the Fed’s transition to a more restrictive monetary policy stance, will likely play out in a multi-stage progression. We believe
that the current, or first, phase is characterized by an expectation of slowing growth and increased market and fundamental uncertainty.
Many investors who were encouraged to add risk in search of yield during the low-interest rate, low-volatility, and low-spread environment
that prevailed during much of the past decade will, in our opinion, increasingly find themselves unwilling or unable to properly value
and/or retain these legacy investments as classic “late cycle” factors unfold. As a result, we believe technical outflows
driven by duration losses and increasing fundamental uncertainty have led to large portfolio rebalancing across “real money”
portfolios. This has resulted in periods of stressed sector performance as well as general spread widening and greater credit tiering
within and across credit sectors, in our opinion.

 

This elevated uncertainty has increased dispersion
among investors regarding the appropriate pricing of securities across sectors, issuers, and vintages. Whether it be consumer credit tiering
across loan types/issuers/vintages, deteriorating property specific fundamentals within CRE, or relative performance across alternative
asset types, we believe consensus surrounding expected default probabilities is in short supply. We believe that this has created attractive
opportunities for us to leverage our infrastructure and underwriting capabilities. With a focus on underwriting asset price volatility
in addition to asset fundamentals and differentiated structural characteristics, we seek to gain insight into identifying the most attractive
risk-adjusted return opportunities across sectors and up and down the capital structure. We have been adding what we believe are attractive
exposures, generally more senior in the capital structure. In our opinion, investor appetite first returns to high-quality, easy-to-underwrite
assets while being more limited for deeper credits with more uncertain fundamental investment profiles. In particular, we have been adding
senior exposure, investment-grade and what we believe are loss-remote, off of stressed/distressed assets at what we consider to be historically
attractive levels. We continue to target opportunities that are shorter in duration where we believe underlying fundamentals or structural
characteristics will drive outperformance relative to current market pricing. We have been adding exposures outright and, increasingly,
relative-to-corporate benchmarks in select sectors where we believe relative valuations will drive convergence over time.

 

As the cycle evolves, we believe the potential for
continued market dislocations may result in increasing distressed securities and special situations. This could add to the opportunities
we currently see, assuming risk premia adequately reflects the embedded risk profile. Eventually, with greater intermediate-term visibility
into both the macro backdrop as well as evolving credit fundamentals, we will be more likely to extend portfolio spread duration and add
specific asset profiles with greater structural leverage when we believe the risk is appropriately valued.

Investing in the Fund may be considered speculative
and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of possible substantial loss of your investment.

 

Prior to investing, Investors should carefully
consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the 1WS Credit Income Fund. This and other important information about
the Fund is contained in the prospectus, which can be obtained by calling (833) 834-4923 or visiting www.1wscapital.com. The prospectus
should be read carefully before investing.

 

Net performance data are pre-tax, fund-level,
net of operating expenses, management fees, and any applicable shareholder servicing and distribution fees charged to investors. Actual
returns experienced by an investor may vary due to these factors, among others.

Risk Disclosures

 

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. There is no
assurance that the Fund will meet its investment objective.

 

Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only
through the Fund’s quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of the Fund’s shares outstanding at net asset value. There
is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire to sell in a quarterly repurchase offer. The Fund
is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of the Fund and should be viewed as a long-term
investment.

 

The Fund’s investments may be negatively
affected by the broad investment environment in the real estate market, the debt market and/or the equity securities market. The value
of the Fund’s investments will increase or decrease based on changes in the prices of the investments it holds. This will cause
the value of the Fund’s shares to increase or decrease. The Fund is “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 and, thus, changes in the financial condition or market value of a single issuer may cause a greater fluctuation in the Fund’s
net asset value than in a “diversified” fund. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses.
The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program.

 

The Fund expects most of its investments to be
in securities that are rated below investment grade or would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Below investment grade
instruments or “junk securities” are particularly susceptible to economic downturns compared to higher rated investments.
While the Fund may employ hedging techniques to seek to minimize interest rate risk, there can be no assurance that it will engage in
such techniques at any given time or that such techniques would be successful. As such, the Fund is subject to interest rate risk and
may decline in value as interest rates rise. The Fund may use leverage to achieve its investment objective, which involves risks, including
the increased likelihood of net asset value volatility and the increased risk that fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings will reduce
the return to investors. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, investing in international and emerging markets involves
risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from
social, economic or political instability in other nations. The Fund may employ hedging techniques to seek to minimize foreign currency
risk.

 

There can be no assurance that the Fund will engage
in such techniques at any given time or that such techniques would be successful. The Fund may invest in derivatives, which, depending
on market conditions and the type of derivative, are more volatile than other investments and could magnify the Fund’s gains or
losses. An investment in shares should be considered only by investors who can assess and bear the illiquidity and other risks associated
with such an investment.

 

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector
of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are affected by interest rates, financial
health of issuers/originators, creditworthiness of entities providing credit enhancements and the value of underlying assets. Fixed-income
securities present issuer default risk. Prepayment and extension risk exists because a loan, bond or other investment may be called, prepaid
or redeemed before maturity and similar yielding investments may not be available for purchase. Structured finance securities may present
risks similar to those of the other types of debt obligations in which the Fund may invest and, in fact, such risks may be of greater
significance in the case of structured finance securities. Investing in structured finance securities may be affected by a variety of
factors, including priority in the capital structure of the issuer thereof, the availability of any credit enhancement, and the level
and timing of payments and recoveries on and the characteristics of the underlying receivables, loans or other assets that are being securitized,
among others. Market or other (e.g., interest rate) environments may adversely affect the liquidity of Fund investments, negatively impacting
their price. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a holding, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value
to the Fund. See the Fund’s prospectus for information on these and other risks.

 

There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve
its investment objective. Many of the Fund’s investments may be considered speculative and subject to increased risk. Investing
in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or
all of your investment. The ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective depends, in part, on the ability of the Adviser to
allocate effectively the assets of the Fund among the various securities and investments in which the Fund invests. There can be no assurance
that the actual allocations or investment selections will be effective in achieving the Fund’s investment objective or delivering
positive returns.

from the views expressed. These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and the portfolio

There are limitations when comparing the 1WS Credit
Income Fund to indices. Many open-end funds which track these indices offer daily liquidity, while closed-end interval funds offer liquidity
on a periodic basis. Deteriorating general market conditions will reduce the value of stock securities. When interest rates rise, the
value of bond securities tends to fall. Investing in lower-rated securities involves special risks in addition to the risks associated
with investments in investment grade securities, including a high degree of credit risk. Lower-rated securities may be regarded as predominately
speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. Analysis of the creditworthiness
of issuers/issues of lower-rated securities may be more complex than for issuers/issues of higher quality debt securities. There is a
risk that issuers will not make payments, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities may be lowered
if an issuer’s financial condition changes. Assets and securities contained within indices are different than the assets and securities
contained in the 1WS Credit Income Fund and will therefore have different risk and reward profiles. An investment cannot be made in an
index, which is unmanaged and has returns that do not reflect any trading, management or other costs. Please see definitions for a description
of the investment indexes selected.

Credit default swaps pay quarterly.

 

(a) If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined
under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional
amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay
a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced
obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
(b) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining
the market value of credit default swap agreements as of year end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance
risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity
reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider
credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default
or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
(c) The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or
receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

Annual Report | October 31, 2023 25
1WS Credit Income Fund Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
  October 31, 2023

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

 

1WS Credit Income Fund (“1WS Credit” or
the “Fund”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940
Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that continuously offers its shares of beneficial interest
(‘‘Shares’’). 1WS Credit operates as an interval fund under Rule 23c-3 of the 1940 Act and, as such, has adopted
a policy to make quarterly repurchase offers at a price equal to net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) per Share of at least
5% of outstanding Shares.

 

1WS Credit’s investment objective is to seek
attractive risk-adjusted total returns through generating income and capital appreciation. 1WS Credit will seek to achieve its investment
objective by investing in a wide array of predominantly structured credit and securitized debt instruments. There can be no assurance
that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

1WS Credit was organized as a Delaware statutory trust
on July 20, 2018 pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. 1WS Credit had no operations
from that date to March 4, 2019, commencement of operations, other than those related to organizational matters and the registration of
its Shares under applicable securities laws. 1WS Credit wholly owns and consolidates 1WSCI Sub I, LLC (the “Cayman Islands SPV”),
an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 22, 2019. The Cayman Islands SPV is an investment vehicle formed to
make certain investments on behalf of 1WS Credit. 1WS Credit is the managing and sole member of the Cayman Islands SPV pursuant to a limited
liability agreement dated March 1, 2019. Where context requires, the “Fund” includes both the Fund and the Cayman Island SPV.

 

1WS Capital Advisors, LLC (the ‘‘Adviser’’
or ‘‘1WS’’) serves as the investment adviser of the Fund. 1WS is a Delaware limited liability company that is
registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘SEC’’) under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940 (the ‘‘Advisers Act’’). The Adviser is controlled by its managing member, One William Street
Capital Management, L.P. (‘‘OWS’’), which is also registered with the SEC as an investment adviser. The Fund’s
portfolio manager and other personnel of the Adviser have substantial experience in managing investments and investment funds, including
funds which have investment programs similar to that of the Fund.

 

The Fund currently offers Institutional (“Class
I”) Shares and Brokerage Class (“Class A-2”) Shares (collectively, the “Share Classes”). Both Share Classes
of the Fund are being offered on a continuous basis at the NAV per Share calculated each day. Class A-2 Shares are offered subject to
a maximum sales charge of 3.00% of their offering price and an asset-based distribution/shareholder servicing fee not to exceed 0.75%
of its net assets and Class I shares are not subject to any sales load or asset-based distribution fee. Class A-2 Shares purchased without
a sales charge may be subject to a 1.50% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). The Fund received exemptive relief from
the SEC to issue multiple classes of Shares and to impose asset-based distribution fees as applicable. Class I and Class A-2 shares commenced
operations on March 4, 2019 and May 1, 2021, respectively.

 

Each class represents an interest in the same assets
of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges.
All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or
distribution plans. The Fund’s income, expenses (other than class specific service and distribution fees) and realized and unrealized
gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class.

 

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation: The
accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“GAAP”) and are stated in United States dollars. The Fund is considered an investment company under GAAP
and follows the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (‘’FASB’’)
Accounting Standards Codification (‘’ASC’’) 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies, including accounting
for investments at fair value.

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements
in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes. The Adviser believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the financial statements are
reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from such estimates and the differences could be material.

 

Consolidation: 1WS
Credit consolidates its investment in the Cayman Islands SPV because 1WS Credit is the sole shareholder of this entity. In accordance
with ASC 810, Consolidation, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Cayman Islands SPV’s assets and
liabilities and results of operations. All investments held by the Cayman Islands SPV are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Investment Transactions: Investment transactions
are accounted for on a trade-date basis for financial reporting purposes and amounts payable or receivable for trades not settled at the
time of year end are reflected as liabilities and assets, respectively. Interest is recorded on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses
on investment transactions reflected in the consolidated statement of operations are recorded on a first-in, first-out basis.

Premiums on fixed-income securities and discounts
on non-distressed fixed-income securities are amortized and recorded within interest income in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

The Fund may enter into derivative contracts for hedging
purposes or to gain synthetic exposures to certain investments (“Derivatives”). Derivatives are financial instruments whose
values are based on an underlying asset, index, or reference rate and include futures, swaps, swaptions, options, or other financial instruments
with similar characteristics.

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has
adopted valuation policies and procedures for the Fund and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to
the Adviser, the Fund’s “Valuation Designee” (as such term is defined in Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act).

 

Fund Valuation: Class
I and Class A-2 Shares are offered at NAV. The NAV per share of each class is determined daily. The Fund’s NAV per share is calculated
by subtracting liabilities (including accrued expenses and indebtedness) from the total assets of the Fund (the value of the investments
plus cash or other assets, including interest accrued but not yet received). The Fund’s NAV is then allocated pro-rata between the share
classes, adjusting for share class specific liabilities. The NAV of each share class is then divided by the total number of Shares outstanding
of each share class at each day’s end.

 

Federal
Income Taxes
: The Fund has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’). The Fund intends to elect to be treated for federal income tax
purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (a ‘‘RIC’’) under Subchapter M of
the Internal Revenue Code (the ‘‘Code’’). As a RIC, the Fund generally will not have to pay Fund-level federal
income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that the Fund distributes to shareholders from our tax earnings and profits.

 

For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund did
not have a tax liability. The Fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Fund’s tax returns are subject
to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations which is generally three years
after the filing of the tax return for federal purposes and four years for most state returns.

 

Distributions to Shareholders: The Fund
intends to declare and pay substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders in the form of dividends on a quarterly basis.
The Fund also intends to distribute substantially all net realized capital gains at least annually.

 

NOTE 3. PORTFOLIO VALUATION

 

ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement defines fair
value as an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value and maximizes the use
of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing the use of the most observable input when available.

 

Valuation inputs broadly refer to the assumptions
market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. ASC 820 distinguishes between: (i)
observable inputs, which are based on market data obtained from parties independent of the reporting entity, and (ii) unobservable inputs,
which reflect the Adviser’s own assumptions about the judgments market participants would use. A financial instrument’s level
within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the fair value measurement. When
a valuation uses multiple inputs from varying levels of the fair value hierarchy, the hierarchy level is determined based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

Level 1— Inputs that are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   
Level 2— Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
   
Level 3— Inputs that are unobservable and reflect the Adviser’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. This includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

 

Generally, the Fund expects to be able to obtain pricing
from independent third-party sources on many of its investments. However, in certain circumstances where such inputs are difficult or
impractical to obtain we may fair value certain investments using internal manager marks. As of October 31, 2023, 2.89% of the investments
held by the Fund were valued using internal manager marks.

 

The following factors may be pertinent in determining
fair value: security covenants, call protection provisions and information rights; cash flows, the nature and realizable value of any
collateral; the debt instrument’s ability to make payments; the principal markets and financial environment in which the debt instrument
operates; publicly available financial ratios of peer companies; changes in interest rates for similar debt instruments; and enterprise
values, among other relevant factors.

 

Annual Report | October 31, 2023 27
1WS Credit Income Fund Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
  October 31, 2023

 

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments
and estimates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have readily available market
quotations, the fair value of these investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had such market quotations
existed for such investments, and any such differences could be material. Accordingly, under current accounting standards, the notes to
the Fund’s consolidated financial statements will refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations,
and any change in such valuations, on the Fund’s financial statements.

NOTE 4. FEES AND EXPENSES INCLUDING RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Related
Party Fees and Expenses

 

Investment Advisory: Under
an investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”), the Fund pays the Adviser a
fee at the annualized rate of 1.50% of the daily gross assets of the Fund (the “Management Fee”). For the one-year period
beginning on March 1, 2023, the Adviser has voluntarily agreed to reduce the Management Fee to 1.25% of the Fund’s daily gross assets.

 

Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement:
Pursuant to an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”),
the Adviser agrees to waive the fees payable to it under the Investment Advisory Agreement and/or to pay or absorb operating expenses
of the Fund, including, without limitation, organization and offering expenses (excluding brokerage and transactional expenses; borrowing
and other investment-related costs and fees including interest and commitment fees; short dividend expense; acquired fund fees; taxes;
litigation and indemnification expenses; judgments; and extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s
business – collectively, the “Exclusions”), to the extent necessary to limit the Other Expenses of the Fund (as set
forth in the Fund’s Prospectus) less the Exclusions to 0.50% per annum of the Fund’s daily gross assets. The Adviser shall
be permitted to recoup in later periods Fund expenses that the Adviser has paid or otherwise borne to the extent that the expenses for
the Fund fall below the annual limitation rate in effect at the time of the actual waiver/reimbursement and to the extent that they do
not cause the Fund to exceed the annual rate in effect at the time of the recoupment. Under the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Adviser
is not permitted to recoup such expenses beyond three years from the date on which the Adviser reduced a fee or reimbursed an expense.
The Expense Limitation Agreement will remain in effect until March 1, 2024, unless and until the Trustees approve its modification or
termination.

 

As of October 31, 2023, the advisor reimbursed fees under the Expense Limitation
Agreement which are recoupable as follows:

 

Expired October 31, 2023 Expires October 31, 2024 Expires October 31, 2025 Expires October 31, 2026
$775,982 $580,191 $810,698 $712,874

distribution and shareholder servicing fees that may be used to compensate Intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund, and providing,
or arranging for the provision of, Shareholder Services (the “Shareholder Servicing Fees”), and ongoing distribution and/or
marketing services to the Fund (the “Distribution Fees”). The Distribution Fees and Shareholder Servicing Fees, as applicable,
are accrued daily and paid monthly in an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate for Class A-2 Shares, 0.75% (on an annualized basis) of
the net asset value of Class A-2 Shares of the Fund. For each class of shares of the Fund, under no circumstances shall Shareholder Servicing
Fees exceed 0.25% of the net asset value of such class. The Distribution Fees and Shareholder Servicing Fees will be accrued daily as
an expense of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2023, Class A-2 shares expensed $57,351 for Shareholder Servicing Fees and Distribution
Fees.

Cost of Investments Purchased Proceeds from Investments Sold
$ 125,310,552 $  89,940,839

 

NOTE 6. INVESTMENTS

 

Under normal investment conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of
its assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) in debt obligations.

 

The securities/instruments acquired by the Fund may
include all types of debt and other obligations (‘‘Credit Investments’’), and may have varying terms with respect
to collateralization, seniority or subordination, purchase price, convertibility, interest payments and maturity, and may consist of the
following: (i) residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities (‘‘MBS’’), as well as real estate loans or
pools of such loans; (ii) asset-backed securities (‘‘ABS’’), or other instruments secured by financial, physical,
and/or intangible assets (e.g., receivables or pools of receivables), and investments in any assets/instruments underlying the foregoing
structured/secured obligations; (iii) debt and subordinated tranches of collateralized loan obligations (‘‘CLOs’’)
and collateralized debt obligations (‘‘CDOs’’); (iv) public and private senior and mezzanine, senior secured or
unsecured bonds/loans; and (v) other income producing securities, including investment grade debt, debentures and notes, and deferred
interest, payment-in-kind or zero coupon bonds/notes. The Fund may invest without limit in CLOs or CDOs, including the subordinated tranches
of such vehicles.

 

The Fund may also invest indirectly in any of the
foregoing instruments through: (i) investing in other funds, including exchange traded funds (‘‘ETFs’’) and up
to 15% of its net assets in funds that are excluded from the definition of ‘‘investment company’’ under the 1940
Act solely by reason of Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act, that are primarily invested in Credit Investments (except
that investments in MBS, ABS, CLOs or CDOs and other Credit Investments that are not hedge funds or private equity funds are not subject
to such 15% limitation); or (ii) entering into derivatives, including long and short positions in credit default swaps, total return swaps,
forward contracts, futures and other similar transactions. The Fund may also use derivatives for cash management purposes, to modify interest
rate exposure or to hedge positions. The Fund may invest in derivatives without limit, subject to adherence to applicable asset coverage
and/or segregation requirements of the 1940 Act. (The Fund counts the foregoing indirect investments in debt obligations towards the Fund’s
requirement to invest at least 80% of its assets in debt obligations.) The Fund may invest in derivatives subject to the limitations set
forth in Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act.

 

1WS Credit Income Fund Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
  October 31, 2023

 

The Fund anticipates that many Credit Investments
will be rated below investment grade by rating agencies or would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Credit Investments
that are rated below investment grade (commonly referred to as ‘‘high yield’’ securities or ‘‘junk
bonds’’) are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay
interest and repay principal.

 

In seeking to achieve the Fund’s objective,
the Fund may also invest a portion of its net assets in (i) U.S. and foreign government obligations, and highly-rated debt instruments
(e.g., commercial paper); and (ii) long and short positions in public or private equity securities, which can include ETFs and real estate
investment trusts.

 

The Fund intends to add leverage to its portfolio
through direct borrowing and/or through entering into reverse repurchase agreements. Certain of the Fund’s investments may require
leverage to achieve the desired risk-adjusted return profile deployed by the Fund.

 

At any given time, a substantial portion of our portfolio
may be illiquid, subjecting the Fund to increased credit risk. If a borrower or obligor or other counterparty on an instrument underlying
a Credit Investment is unable to make its payments, we may be greatly limited in our ability to recover any outstanding principal and
interest (or other applicable amounts) under such Credit Investment. Our Shares therefore should be purchased only by investors who could
afford a possible substantial loss of their investment. There is no geographic or currency limitation on the securities or instruments
acquired by the Fund. The Fund may purchase debt or equity securities of non-U.S. governments and corporate entities domiciled outside
of the United States, including emerging markets issuers.

 

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

The Fund may enter into derivative transactions in
connection with its investing activities. These instruments derive their value, primarily or partially, from the underlying asset, indices,
reference rate, or a combination of these factors. Derivatives are subject to various risks similar to non-derivative instruments, such
as interest, market, and credit risk.

 

The Fund is subject to interest rate exposures, both
directly and indirectly. Direct interest rate exposure can result from holding fixed rate bonds, the value of which may decrease if interest
rates rise. Additionally, indirect interest rate exposure can result from certain securitization transactions that contain mismatches
between the rate of interest earned on the underlying loans and/or receivables as compared to the rate of interest due on the securities.
To hedge this risk for cases in which the Fund deems it effective, the Fund may enter into futures contracts, interest rate swaps, other
interest rate options, or securities sold, not yet purchased.

 

The Fund is also subject to credit risk in the normal
course of pursuing its investment objectives. In addition to the specific credit risk, in particular investment securities, the Fund is
exposed to broader market credit risk. To hedge this risk, the Fund may enter into a variety of instruments, including credit default
swaps, futures, options, and swaptions.

 

The market value of derivative instruments generally
may change in a manner that amplify market movements relative to the underlying asset or reference rate. As a result of adverse market
movements, the Fund’s derivatives instruments could cause the Fund to suffer losses that magnify the market value changes of the
underlying asset or reference rate. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its
net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance.

 

Additionally, in instances where the Fund is using
derivatives to hedge risk exposures held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected relative
to the Fund positions intended to be hedged which could result in losses for the hedged positions.

 

Derivatives are also subject to the risk of possible
regulatory changes which could adversely affect the availability and performance of derivative securities, make them more costly and limit
or restrict their use by the Fund, which could prevent the Fund from implementing its investment strategies and adversely affect returns.

 

Futures Contracts: Futures
contracts are commitments to either purchase or sell a financial instrument or commodity at a future date for a specified price. Upon
entering into futures contracts, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an initial margin in an
amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent changes in market value of the contract (which may require additional
margin to be deposited) are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses.

 

The Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against
changes in the value of financial instruments or changes in interest rates. Upon entering into such futures contracts, the Fund bears
the risk of interest rates or financial instruments’ prices moving adversely to the positions. With futures, counterparty risk is
mitigated as these contracts are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees against non-performance by the counterparty.

 

Annual Report | October 31, 2023 31
1WS Credit Income Fund Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
  October 31, 2023

 

Credit Default Swaps and Credit Default Tranches:
In a typical credit default swap, the Fund receives (if a buyer) or provides (if a seller) protection against
certain credit events involving one or more specified reference entities. The buyer of a credit default swap is generally obligated to
pay the seller a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract in return for a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a
defined credit event on the reference obligation which may be a single security, a basket of securities, or a specified credit index.
The applicable credit events are established at the inception of the transaction and generally include bankruptcy, insolvency, and failure
to meet payment obligations when due, among other events. After a credit event occurs, the contingent payment payable by the seller to
the buyer may be mitigated or reduced by segregated collateral and netting arrangements between the counterparties to the transaction.

 

A credit default tranche is a type of credit default
swap that allows an investor to gain exposure to a particular portion of the loss distribution on a specified credit index. Tranches are
defined by attachment and detachment points that specify the range of exposure to which an investor is receiving or providing protection
with respect to the specified credit index.

 

The Fund may enter into credit default swaps or credit
default tranches to hedge against changes in the value of, or to gain exposure to, the market, certain sectors of the market, or specific
issuers. Upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the difference between the value of the reference obligation and the swap’s
notional amount is recorded as realized gain or loss. Upon entering into a credit default swap, as a seller of protection or a buyer of
protection, the Fund bears exposure to changes in market pricing of risk related to the reference obligations. Additionally, the Fund
is exposed to counterparty risk to the extent the fair value of the credit default swap exceeds the collateral posted. Credit default
swaps are either centrally cleared swaps or executed bilaterally under standard form ISDA master agreements entered into with each counterparty.

 

Centrally Cleared Swaps are marked to market daily
based upon valuations as determined from the underlying contract or in accordance with the requirements of the central counterparty or
derivatives clearing organization. Changes in market value, if any, are reflected as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are disclosed
within variation margin receivable/payable on centrally cleared swap contracts on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Centrally Cleared and OTC swap payments received or paid at the beginning of the measurement period are included on the Consolidated Statement
of Assets and Liabilities and represent premiums paid or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences
between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates,
and other relevant factors). Upfront premiums received (paid) are initially recorded as liabilities (assets) and subsequently marked to
market to reflect the current value of the swap. These upfront premiums are recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement
of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded
as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are included as
part of realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For credit default swap contracts, the upfront payments serve
as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. The fair value of a credit default swap contract represents the
amount of upfront payment that would be required to enter into such swap as of a measurement date. Upfront payments vary inversely to
the price of debt issued by the reference entity. Increasing fair values for credit default swap contracts, in absolute terms when compared
to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the market pricing of the reference entity’s debt.

 

The following is a summary of the derivative instruments
fair value and the location and effect of derivative instruments held directly by the Fund for the year ended October 31, 2023:

 

    Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities     Consolidated Statement of Operations  
    Derivative Assets Fair Value(a)     Derivative Liabilities Fair Value(a)     Net Realized Gain/ (Loss)     Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation / (Depreciation)  
Credit default swap contracts   $ 26,625     $ (95,610 )   $ 1,770,273     $ 47,716  
Interest swap contracts     1,432,334       –       309,564       1,403,765  
Futures contracts     702,768       (1,029 )     1,030,093       (1,315,184 )
Total derivatives   $ 2,161,727     $ (96,639 )   $ 3,109,930     $ 136,297  

 

(a) Includes the cumulative appreciation/depreciation of futures contracts
and swap contracts as reported in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Only the current day’s variation margin receivable of $102,339
for futures, $19,847 for credit default swaps and $50,183 for interest rate swaps is reported within the Consolidated Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. Total cumulative appreciation/depreciation on futures contracts as shown on the table above is reported on the Consolidated
Statement of Investments.

 

1WS Credit Income Fund Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
  October 31, 2023

 

The average short notional value and number of short
futures contracts outstanding during the year ended October 31, 2023 was $46,528,526 and 455, respectively. The average notional value
of credit default swap contracts related to the sale and buy protection outstanding during the year ended October 31, 2023 was ($23,264,744)
and $13,667,977 respectively. The average notional value of interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the year ended October 31,
2023 was $302,445.

 

Offsetting Arrangements: Certain
derivative contracts and reverse repurchase agreements are executed under standardized netting agreements. A netting arrangement creates
an enforceable right of set-off that becomes effective, and affects the realization of settlement on individual assets, liabilities and
collateral amounts, only following a specified event of default or early termination. Default events may include the failure to make payments
or deliver securities timely, material adverse changes in financial condition or insolvency, the breach of minimum regulatory capital
requirements, or loss of license, charter or other legal authorization necessary to perform under the contract. These agreements mitigate
counterparty credit risk by providing for a single net settlement with a counterparty of all financial transactions covered by the agreement
in an event of default as defined under such agreement. The Fund invests in futures, interest rate swaps and credit default swaps that
are centrally cleared and not subject to master netting agreements, thus are not included on the tables below.

NOTE 8. LEVERAGE

 

The Fund may obtain leverage in seeking to achieve its investment objective,
including obtaining financing to make investments in Credit Investments.

 

The Fund may obtain leverage through direct borrowing and/or through entering
into reverse repurchase agreements.

 

In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund delivers
a security in exchange for cash to a financial institution, the counterparty, with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same or
substantially the same security at an agreed upon price and date. Reverse repurchase agreements are generally recorded at their contractual
amounts, including accrued interest, as specified in each respective agreement. Securities sold are held on terms that may permit the
counterparty to sell or re-pledge the securities subject to certain limitations. Such securities sold are held as collateral and are generally
valued daily by the counterparty. The Fund may be required to deliver additional collateral or may demand the counterparty to return collateral
pledged, as deemed necessary to ensure that the fair value of the underlying collateral remains sufficient to cover the contractual amount.
Cash received in exchange for securities delivered plus accrued interest payments to be made by the Fund to counterparties are reflected
as a liability on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest payments made by the Fund to counterparties are recorded
as a component of interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The total amount of securities pledged, or partially pledged,
at October 31, 2023 was $89,985,854. During the year ended October 31, 2023, the average amount of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding
was $50,268,319, at a weighted average interest rate of 5.92%.

 

The following table indicates the total amount of
reverse repurchase agreements, including accrued interest, reconciled to the Fund’s liability as of October 31, 2023:

 

    30-90 days     Greater than 90 days     Total  
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities   $ 14,468,568     $ 5,803,872     $ 20,272,440  
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities     9,091,436       1,046,937       10,138,373  
Asset Backed Securities     23,447,505       1,660,271       25,107,776  
Collateralized Loan Obligations     1,486,562       –       1,486,562  
Total   $ 48,494,071     $ 8,511,080     $ 57,005,151  

 

* The total reverse repurchase agreement balance of $57,005,151 has financing with extendable provisions
that automatically renew per the respective reverse repurchase agreements.

 

Leverage can have the effect of magnifying the Fund’s
exposure to changes in the value of its assets and may also result in increased volatility in the Fund’s NAV. This means the Fund
will have the potential for greater gains, as well as the potential for greater losses, than if the Fund owned its assets on an unleveraged
basis. The value of an investment in the Fund will be more volatile and other risks tend to be compounded if and to the extent that the
Fund is exposed to leverage directly or indirectly.

 

NOTE 9. REPURCHASE OFFERS

 

The Fund is an interval fund and, as such, has adopted
a fundamental policy to make quarterly repurchase offers at a price equal to the NAV per Share as of the Repurchase Pricing Date (i.e.,
the date that will be used to determine the Fund’s NAV applicable to the repurchase offer), of between 5% and 25% of the Shares
outstanding. Subject to applicable law and approval of the Board, for each quarterly repurchase offer, the Fund currently expects to offer
to repurchase 5% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares at NAV, which is the minimum amount permitted. The Fund will make quarterly repurchase
offers in the months of March, June, September and December. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares
they desire in a repurchase offer because shareholders, in total, may wish to sell more than the percentage of the Fund’s Shares
being repurchased.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund completed
four quarterly repurchase offers. In each offer, the Fund offered to repurchase no less than 5% of the number of its outstanding Shares
as of the Repurchase Pricing Date. No repurchase offers during the year ended October 31, 2023 were oversubscribed. The result of these
repurchase offers were as follows:

 

  Repurchase Offer #1 Repurchase Offer #2 Repurchase Offer #3 Repurchase Offer #4
Repurchase Commencement Date 12/21/2022 03/21/2023 06/20/2023 09/19/2023
Repurchase Request Deadline 01/12/2023 04/12/2023 07/12/2023 10/11/2023
Repurchase Pricing Date 01/12/2023 04/12/2023 07/12/2023 10/11/2023
Repurchased Amount $4,939,855 $3,685,312 $3,092,410 $3,697,323
Repurchased Shares 272,469 203,383 166,977 196,274

NOTE 10. PRINCIPAL RISKS

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund invests
in financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss may exist from things such as changes in
the market (market risk) or failure or inability of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit and counterparty risk). See below
for a detailed description of select principal risks. For a more comprehensive list of potential risks the Fund may be subject to, please
refer to the Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”).

 

Investment and Market Risk: The Fund may invest
in credit-sensitive investments. Until such investments are sold or mature, the Fund is exposed to risks, including interest rate and
spread risks, as well as credit and structural risks relating to whether the cash flows from the underlying assets will be sufficient
in amount and timing to make expected payments on the securities. The Adviser monitors the risk parameters and expected volatility of
the Fund’s overall portfolio and attempts to manage concentrations of the portfolio in any particular investment holding, strategy,
or market. Additionally, the Adviser seeks to control portfolio risks through selective sizing of positions based on a regular evaluation
of each investment’s risk and reward characteristics. Regular mark-to-market portfolio monitoring helps the Adviser monitor the
investments. The Adviser has also developed a proprietary risk management system and uses statistical and cash flow models to monitor
portfolio risk, as well as individual position specific risk.

 

While the Adviser generally seeks to hedge certain
portfolio risks, the Adviser will not, in general, attempt to hedge all market, interest rate or other risks in the portfolio, and it
may elect to only partially hedge certain risks. Specifically, the Adviser may determine that it is economically unattractive, or otherwise
undesirable, to hedge certain risks and instead may rely on diversification to offset such risks.

 

Repurchase Offers Risk: An
investment in the Fund is suitable only for long-term investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of the Shares.
The Fund is an “interval fund” and, in order to provide liquidity to shareholders, the Fund, subject to applicable law, will
conduct repurchase offers of the Fund’s outstanding Shares at NAV, subject to approval of the Board. The Fund believes that these
repurchase offers are generally beneficial to the Fund’s shareholders, and repurchases generally will be funded from available cash,
cash from the sale of Shares or sales of portfolio securities. However, repurchase offers and the need to fund repurchase obligations
may affect the ability of the Fund to be fully invested or force the Fund to maintain a higher percentage of its assets in liquid investments,
which may harm the Fund’s investment performance. Moreover, diminution in the size of the Fund through repurchases may result in
untimely sales of portfolio securities (with associated imputed transaction costs, which may be significant), and may limit the ability
of the Fund to participate in new investment opportunities or to achieve its investment objective. The Fund may accumulate cash by holding
back (i.e., not reinvesting) payments received in connection with the Fund’s investments and cash from the sale of Shares. The Fund
believes that it can meet the maximum potential amount of the Fund’s repurchase obligations. If at any time cash and other liquid
assets held by the Fund are not sufficient to meet the Fund’s repurchase obligations, the Fund intends, if necessary, to sell investments.
In addition, if the Fund borrows to finance repurchases, interest on that borrowing will negatively affect shareholders who do not tender
their Shares by increasing the Fund’s expenses and reducing any net investment income.

 

Leverage Risk: Under
current market conditions, the Fund may utilize leverage principally through outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness (“Borrowings”).
The Fund may obtain leverage through direct borrowing and/or through entering into reverse repurchase agreements that create leverage.
Reverse repurchase agreements are agreements in which a Fund sells a security to a counterparty, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in
return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at a mutually agreed upon price and time. Reverse repurchase agreements carry the
risk that the market value of the security sold by the Fund may decline in value, requiring the Fund to post the additional collateral
or to repurchase the security. Reverse repurchase agreements also may be viewed as a form of borrowing, and borrowed assets used for investment
creates leverage risk. Leverage can create an interest expense that may lower the Fund’s overall returns. Leverage presents the
opportunity for increased net income and capital gains, but may also exaggerate the Fund’s volatility and risk of loss.

 

Counterparty Credit Risk: The
Fund attempts to control credit risk exposure to trading counterparties and brokers through internal monitoring procedures. A significant
portion of the Fund’s positions, including cash, are held at major financial institutions. All security transactions of the Fund
are transacted with approved brokers and cleared through major securities firms. In the event the brokers are unable to fulfill their
obligations, the Fund could be subject to credit risk.

 

A primary difference in risks associated with bilateral
OTC contracts and exchange-traded contracts/centrally cleared swaps involves the nature of credit and liquidity risks. Unlike exchange-traded
instruments or centrally cleared swaps, in which performance may be backed by the exchange or clearing corporation, bilateral OTC contracts
require the performance of a specific counterparty and it’s posting of collateral. In the event of a default by such counterparty,
the Fund could be exposed to potential losses. The Fund seeks to reduce its credit risk on bilateral OTC contracts by only transacting
with high credit-standing counterparties. In addition, the Fund further mitigates the risk of counterparty non- performance by requiring
counterparties to pledge cash and/or securities to collateralize unrealized gains on bilateral OTC contracts, in accordance with the terms
of International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) agreements.

 

Liquidity Risk: The
Fund needs cash liquidity in order to settle trading obligations, meet margin calls on derivatives, meeting margin calls and repayments
on maturing financial arrangements, and meet repurchase offers. The Adviser actively monitors and manages the current and future sources
of and draws on liquidity (cash and cash equivalents) as well as liquid securities.

 

Annual Report | October 31, 2023 35
1WS Credit Income Fund Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
  October 31, 2023

 

Credit Risk: Credit
risk is the risk that the value of debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer may default and fail to
pay interest or repay principal when due. Rating agencies assign credit ratings to debt securities to indicate their credit risk. Lower
rated or unrated debt securities held by the Fund may present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt securities.

 

Non-Diversified Fund Risk: The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act. As a result, the Fund can invest a greater portion of its assets
in obligations of a single issuer than a “diversified” fund. The Fund may therefore be more susceptible than a diversified
fund to being adversely affected by any single corporate, economic, political or regulatory occurrence.

 

Interest Rate Risk: Interest
rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the value of financial instruments. The Fund may be exposed
to risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on their financial position and
cash flows. The Fund may be exposed to interest rate risk as a result of mismatches or gaps in the amounts of assets and liabilities that
mature or reprice in a given period.

 

Foreign Currency Risk: The
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in non-U.S. currencies, or in instruments denominated in non-U.S. currencies, the prices of which
are determined with reference to currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The Fund, however, values its securities and other assets in U.S.
Dollars. The Fund generally seeks to hedge its foreign currency exposure. To the extent the Fund’s investments in foreign currency
exposure are not hedged, the value of the Fund’s assets will fluctuate with U.S. Dollar exchange rates as well as the price changes
of the Fund’s investments in the various local markets and currencies.

 

CDO and CLO Risk: The Fund may invest in CDOs
and/or CLOs which are subject to the following risks: (i) distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest
or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) CDOs and/or CLOs typically will have no significant
underlying assets other than their underlying debt obligations or loans and payments on the CDOs and/or CLOs are and will be payable solely
from the cash flows from such debt obligations and/or loans; (iv) CDOs and/or CLOs are typically highly levered, and therefore the CDO
and/or CLO interests that the Fund may invest in are subject to a higher risk of total loss; (v) investments in CDOs and/or CLOs may be
riskier and less transparent to the Fund and its shareholders than direct investments in the underlying companies; (vi) the potential
for interruption and deferral of cash flow to Fund investments in the equity and junior debt tranches of CDOs and/or CLOs; (vii) interests
in CDOs and/or CLOs may be illiquid; (viii) investments in foreign CDOs and/or CLOs may involve significant risks in addition to the risks
inherent in U.S. CDOs and/or CLOs; (ix) the Fund may invest with collateral managers that have no or limited performance or operating
history; (x) the inability of a CDO or CLO collateral manager to reinvest the proceeds of any prepayments may adversely affect the Fund;
(xi) the loans underlying the CDOs and/or CLOs may be sold and replaced resulting in a loss to the Fund; (xii) the Fund may not have direct
rights against the underlying borrowers or obligors comprising the CDOs and/or CLOs’ investments or the entities that sponsored
the CDOs and/or CLOs; and (xiii) investments in junior tranches of CDOs and/or CLOs will likely be subordinate to the other debt tranches
of such CDOs and/or CLOs, and are subject to a higher degree of risk of total loss.

 

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (“CMBS”)
and Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (“RMBS”) Risk:
CMBS and RMBS are mortgage-backed
securities that may be secured by interests in a single commercial or residential mortgage loan or a pool of mortgage loans secured by
commercial or residential property. CMBS and RMBS may be senior, subordinate, interest-only, principal-only, investment-grade, non-investment
grade or unrated. The Fund may acquire CMBS and RMBS from private originators as well as from other mortgage loan investors, including
savings and loan associations, mortgage bankers, commercial banks, finance companies and investment banks. The credit quality of any CMBS
and RMBS issue depends primarily on the credit quality of the underlying mortgage loans. At any one time, a portfolio of mortgage-backed
securities may be backed by commercial or residential mortgage loans with disproportionately large aggregate principal amounts secured
by properties in only a few states or regions. As a result, the commercial or residential mortgage loans may be more susceptible to geographic
risks relating to such areas, such as adverse economic conditions, adverse events affecting industries located in such areas and natural
hazards affecting such areas, than would be the case for a pool of mortgage loans having more diverse property locations.

 

NOTE 11. TAX BASIS INFORMATION

 

Distributions are determined in accordance with federal
income tax regulations, which differ from GAAP, and, therefore, may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income
and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. The amounts and characteristics of tax basis distributions and composition of distributable
earnings/ (accumulated losses) are finalized at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.

 

For the year ended October 31, 2023, the following

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of 1WS Credit Income Fund:

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Consolidated Financial
Highlights

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement
of assets and liabilities of 1WS Credit Income Fund (the “Fund”), including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of
October 31, 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the consolidated statements
of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the consolidated financial highlights for the periods presented,
and the related notes. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
consolidated financial highlights for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements and consolidated
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s
consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered
with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund
in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements and consolidated financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated
financial statements and consolidated financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31,
2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1WS Credit Income Fund Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
  October 31, 2023

 

At a meeting held on October 17, 2023, the Board of
Trustees (the “Board”) of 1WS Credit Income Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Fund”), considered and approved
the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and 1WS Capital Advisors,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”), for an additional one-year term. Also, by a unanimous vote, the
members of the Board (the “Trustees”) who are not “interested persons,” as defined by the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), of the Fund (the “Independent Trustees”), separately voted to approve the Advisory Agreement.

 

In considering whether to approve the Advisory Agreement,
the Board reviewed various materials from the Adviser, which included: (i) information concerning the services provided to the Fund by
the Adviser; (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and Adviser; (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund; (iv) information on the
profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates; and (v) other potential benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund.
In particular, the Board considered the following:

 

(a) The Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees reviewed various presentations the Adviser
provided to the Board regarding services provided to the Fund. The Trustees noted the importance of the Adviser having adequate resources
and, in this regard, noted One William Street Capital Management, L.P.’s, the sole managing member of the Adviser (“OWS”),
assets under management, positive earnings and sound capital position. The Trustees also took into account OWS’s representation,
as the sole managing member of the Adviser, that its current financial condition enables the Adviser to provide quality services to the
Fund. In connection with the broad scope of investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Board discussed, in detail, with representatives
of the Adviser, the management of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Fund’s stated investment objective and policies.
In this regard, the Board also considered the experience of the individuals responsible for the management and operation of the Fund’s
assets in managing funds and other alternative investment vehicles. The Board noted that the Adviser provides, at its own expense, facilities
necessary for the operation of the Fund and it makes certain of its personnel available to serve as the senior officers of the Fund, including
the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. The Board found it was reasonable to expect that the Fund would continue
to receive the services required from the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement and that these services would be of high quality.

 

(b) Investment Performance of the Fund and Adviser

In connection with the evaluation of the services
provided by the Adviser, the Trustees reviewed the performance of the Fund. The Trustees observed that the Fund had experienced outperformance
versus the Fund’s benchmarks over the 3-month period, the year-to-date period and the period since inception.

 

(c) Cost of the Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser
from its Relationship with the Fund

The Trustees reviewed the cost of services provided
by the Adviser and the fees paid under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees considered that under the Advisory Agreement the Fund pays
the Adviser a fixed management fee of 1.50% of gross assets per annum, and that, for the one-year period beginning on March 1, 2023, the
Adviser has voluntarily agreed to reduce the management fee to 1.25% of the Fund’s daily gross assets. The Trustees also considered
information showing a comparison of the advisory fees compared with fees of other similar 1940 Act-registered products, as well as the
fees of similar funds managed by the Adviser (or its affiliates). The Board noted that the fees and expenses paid under the Advisory Agreement
were generally in line with those of other similar closed-end funds, and comparable to those charged by the Adviser to comparable accounts
which the Adviser (or its affiliates) manages. It was noted that, unlike other funds managed by the Adviser (or its affiliates), the Fund
is not subject to a performance or incentive fee. The Trustees observed that the Fund has in place an agreement with the Adviser under
which the Fund benefits from a 50 basis point expense limitation/cap on non-management gross assets. Based on its review, the Board concluded
that the level of the management fee for the Fund was fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services provided to the
Fund.

 

In reaching this conclusion, the Trustees also considered
the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund as well as other factors discussed below. The
Trustees observed the lack of meaningful profitability from the Fund during the period, given the relatively small asset size of the Fund
and the effect of the expense cap.

 

(d) Other Benefits

The Trustees then considered the direct and indirect
benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Fund, including the fees paid pursuant to the Advisory Agreement.
The Board concluded that the Fund benefits from those services and that the benefits to the Adviser derived from these relationships seemed
fair and reasonable.

 

(e) Economies of Scale

The Trustees then noted that economies of scale may
be realized when a fund’s assets increase significantly. The Trustees observed that because the Fund has not yet reached meaningful
asset levels, the Trustees did not consider specific information concerning the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as
the Fund grows and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale, if any.

  October 31, 2023

 

Conclusion

Based on all of the foregoing, and such other matters
as were deemed relevant, the Board found the fee structure under the Advisory Agreement to be fair and reasonable in light of the services
provided by the Adviser. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board. Based on this determination, all of the Trustees,
including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term.

(a)(1) David
Sherr
.
As of the date of this filing, Mr. Sherr serves as the Portfolio Manager of
the Fund and has served as the Fund’s Portfolio Manager since the Fund’s inception.
Mr. Sherr founded One William Street Capital Management, L.P. (“OWS”), the managing
partner of 1WS Capital Advisors, LLC, the Fund’s adviser (the “Adviser”).
OWS commenced operations in 2008. Mr. Sherr has over 30 years of experience in the investing
and origination businesses, fixed income markets, and managing global trading. Prior to founding
OWS, Mr. Sherr was a Managing Director and Global Head of Securitized Products at Lehman
Brothers. In that capacity, Mr. Sherr had senior management responsibilities in Fixed Income,
Principal Investing and Lending and Investment Banking. Mr. Sherr graduated with a B.S. in

2 One separately
managed account of total market value of $412million is subject to a performance-based advisory fee.

 

(2)(iv)
Potential Conflicts of Interest

 

The
Adviser (which includes its managing member, OWS, as applicable) and the Fund have adopted compliance policies and procedures that are
designed to avoid, mitigate, monitor and oversee areas that could present potential conflicts of interest. These potential conflicts
include:

Allocation
of Limited Time and Attention
. A portfolio manager who is responsible for managing multiple client accounts may devote unequal time
and attention to the management of those accounts.

 

Allocation
of Opportunities
. The Adviser will seek to allocate orders and investment opportunities among clients in a manner that it believes
is equitable and in the best interests of all of its clients.

 

Conflicts
of Interest Among Accounts
. At times, the Adviser and/or its affiliates may determine that an investment opportunity may be appropriate
for only some clients (including the Fund), or may decide that certain clients should take differing positions with respect to a particular
security even though they share investment objectives. In these cases, the portfolio manager may place separate transactions for one
or more clients, which may affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment or
benefit of one or more other clients.

 

Related
Business Opportunities
. The Adviser or its affiliates may provide more services (such as recordkeeping) for some types of clients
than for others. In such cases, a portfolio manager may benefit, either directly or indirectly, by devoting disproportionate attention
to the management of clients that provide greater overall returns to the Adviser and its affiliates.

 

Variation
in Compensation
. A conflict of interest may arise where the financial or other benefits available to a portfolio manager differ among
the accounts that he manages. If the structure of the Adviser’s management fee and/or a portfolio manager’s compensation
differs among clients (such as where certain clients pay higher management fees), a portfolio manager might be motivated to help certain
clients over others. A portfolio manager might be motivated to favor accounts in which he has an interest or in which the Adviser and/or
its affiliates have interests. Similarly, the desire to maintain or raise assets under management or to enhance a portfolio manager’s
performance record or to derive other rewards, financial or otherwise, could influence a portfolio manager to lend preferential treatment
to those accounts that could most significantly benefit a portfolio manager.

 

Investments
by Adviser or Related Entities
. The Adviser or a related entity may make investments in Credit Investments for its own accounts.

 

(a)(3)
Compensation

 

OWS
(the “Managing Member”) is the managing member of the Adviser. The Portfolio Manager controls the Managing
Member and the Adviser and shares in the overall profitability of the Adviser and the Managing Member, which includes profits generated
from the Fund’s fees. The compensation of the Portfolio Manager is not based, other than in an indirect manner as part of the overall
profitability of the Adviser/Managing Member, upon the specific pre- or after-tax performance of client accounts that the Portfolio Manager
manages.

(a)(4)
Portfolio Manager Securities Ownership

 

As
of October 31, 2023, the Portfolio Manager beneficially owned over $1,000,000 of equity securities in the Fund.

 

(b)
Not applicable.

 

Item
9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.

 

Not
applicable.

 

Item
10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Item
11. Controls and Procedures.

(as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940

date of the report that includes the disclosure required by this paragraph, based on their

of 1934, as amended (17 CFR 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b)).

 

(b) There
were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined
in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the period
covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially
affect the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
