NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) has releases a report on Kayne Anderson MLP/Midstream Investment Company. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and sponsored by Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors.

In response to the dramatic declines in oil prices as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the Fund has taken proactive steps to increase its liquidity position and reduce outstanding indebtedness. As a fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, management is highly incentivized to maintain its asset coverage cushion.

KBRA currently maintains AAA and A+ long-term ratings on the senior notes and preferred shares (MRPS) of the Fund, respectively. At this time, KBRA is not taking any action on the outstanding ratings assigned to the senior notes and MRPS. However, we will continue to closely monitor the Fund as events unfold in the market.
