‡ | Securities are U.S. securities, unless otherwise noted. |
(a) | Security represents an ETF which invests primarily in debt securities and is considered a debt security for purposes of the Fund’s allocation between equity and debt securities. |
(b) | Security was purchased pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be resold subject to that rule except to qualified institutional buyers. Total fair value of Rule 144A securities amounts to $19,590,321 which represents approximately 14.9% of net assets as of September 30, 2019. Unless otherwise noted, 144A securities are deemed to be liquid. |
(c) | Perpetual, callable security with no stated maturity date. |
(d) | Senior loans pay interest at rates that are periodically determined on the basis of a floating benchmark lending rate, often subject to a floor, plus a spread, unless otherwise indicated. The most popular benchmark lending rates are the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the rate that contributor banks in London charge each other for interbank deposits, and the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks (“Prime”). Both LIBOR and Prime were utilized as benchmark lending rates for the senior loans at September 30, 2019. The rates shown represent the contractual rates (benchmark rate or floor plus spread) in effect at period end. Senior loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. |
(e) | All or a portion of this position has not settled as of September 30, 2019. The Fund will not accrue interest on its senior loans until the settlement date at which point LIBOR will be established. |
(f) | Rate shown reflects the 7-day yield as of September 30, 2019. |

Eagle Growth and Income Opportunities Fund Notes to the Schedule of Investments (unaudited) |

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Eagle Growth and Income Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund is a statutory trust established under the laws of Delaware by a Certificate of Trust dated April 22, 2013. The Fund commenced operations on June 19, 2015.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets, defined as the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to borrowings for investment purposes), minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings for investment purposes), in dividend or other income paying equity securities and debt securities, excluding securities that distribute a return of capital, original issue discount bonds and payment-in-kind debt instruments.
Through August 30, 2019, Four Wood Capital Advisors LLC (“FWCA”) served as the Fund’s investment adviser. FWCA had engaged Eagle Asset Management, Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Sub-adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, Inc., as a sub-adviser to the Fund. On August 31, 2019, THL Credit Advisors LLC (“THL Credit” or the “Adviser”) commenced serving as the investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to an interim advisory agreement that was approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) in accordance with Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act. Also effective August 31, 2019, THL Credit engaged Eagle as a sub-adviser to the Fund pursuant to an interim subadvisory agreement that was approved by the Fund’s Board in accordance with Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act. The Fund’s Board also approved a new, non-interim, advisory agreement between the Fund and THL Credit and a new, non-interim, subadvisory agreement between THL Credit and Eagle, which are subject to shareholder approved before becoming effective.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 – “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. The Fund’s financial statements have been prepared to comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These principles require the Adviser to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund follows the significant accounting policies described in this section, as well as the valuation policies described in the next section on valuation.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuation: The Fund holds portfolio securities that are fair valued at the close of each day on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board has delegated fair valuation responsibilities to a valuation committee (the “Committee”), subject to the Board’s supervision and direction, through the adoption of procedures for valuation of the Fund’s securities (the “Valuation Procedures”). The Committee consists of certain designated individuals of the Fund’s Adviser and Sub-adviser. Under the current Valuation Procedures, the Committee is responsible for, among other things, determining and monitoring the value of the Fund’s assets. The Valuation Procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers and other valuation methods in events when market quotations are not readily available or not representative of the fair value of the securities.
The Fund’s securities are valued by various methods, as described below:
Exchange traded securities are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the close of the exchange or, in the absence of a sale, the closing bid price, with the exception that for securities traded on the London Stock Exchange and National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System, those securities are valued at the official closing price.
Fixed income securities are valued at prices supplied by the Fund’s pricing agent based on broker-dealer supplied valuations, or in the absence of broker-dealer supplied valuations, matrix pricing, a method of valuing securities by reference to the value of other securities with similar characteristics, such as rating, interest rate and maturity.
Senior loans are valued at prices supplied by the Fund’s pricing agent based on broker-dealer supplied valuations (including mid or average prices) and other criteria. If the Committee does not believe that the pricing agent price reflects the current market value, the Adviser or Sub-adviser will determine a recommended method of valuing the senior loan for consideration by the Committee.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (concluded)
Money market funds are valued based on the Fund’s proportionate interest in its net assets.
Fair Value Measurement
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, quoted prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability based on the best information available.
Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (e.g., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (e.g., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which a Fund’s net asset value is computed and that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s investment). Examples of events that may be “significant events” are government actions, natural disasters, armed conflicts and acts of terrorism.
The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the Fund’s perceived risk of investing in those securities.
The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the period ended September 30, 2019 were intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
3. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments, including options. The Fund records derivative instruments at fair value. For the period ended September 30, 2019, the Fund had no derivatives activity.
Item 2. Controls and Procedures.

(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 registrant’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting. |
Item 3. Exhibits.
Certifications pursuant to Rule 30a-2(a) under the 1940 Act and Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are attached hereto.
