Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or this Report, including Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in Item 2 of Part I of this Report, contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These forward-looking statements generally are characterized by the use of terms such as "may," "should," "plan," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "predict," "believe," "expect," "will," "will be," and "project" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: increased direct competition; changes in government regulations; changes in local, national, and global economic conditions and capital market conditions; availability of proceeds from our offering of common shares; and the performance of the Master Fund and its common shares that we own. Our actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in the forward-looking statements for any reason. You should exercise caution in relying on forward-looking statements as they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may materially affect our future results, performance, achievements, or transactions. Information on factors which could impact actual results and cause them to differ from what is anticipated in the forward-looking statements contained herein is included in this Report as well as in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including but not limited to those described in Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Report and in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, that was filed on April 17, 2017. Moreover, because we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, new risks are likely to emerge from time to time. Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a prediction of future results, which apply only as of the date of this Report, unless noted otherwise. Except as may be required by federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not undertake to revise or update any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors identified in Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Report and in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, that was filed on April 17, 2017. The forward-looking statements and projections contained in this Report are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

All references to "Note" or "Notes" throughout this Report refer to the notes to the financial statements of the registrant in Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited).

Unless otherwise noted, the terms "we," "us," "our," and "Company" refer to Guggenheim Credit Income Fund 2016 T, formerly known as Carey Credit Income Fund 2016 T. All capitalized terms have the same meaning as defined in the Notes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization

Guggenheim Credit Income Fund 2016 T (the "Company") was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on September 5, 2014. The Company's investment objectives are to provide its shareholders with current income, capital preservation, and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation by investing substantially all of its equity capital in Guggenheim Credit Income Fund (the "Master Fund"). The Company is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company that elected to be treated as a business development company (a "BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

The Master Fund has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and it has the same investment objectives as the Company. The Master Fund commenced investment operations on April 2, 2015. The Master Fund's consolidated financial statements are an integral part of the Company's financial statements and should be read in their entirety.

From inception through September 10, 2017, the Master Fund was externally managed by Carey Credit Advisors, LLC ("CCA") and Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC ("Guggenheim" or the "Advisor"), which were responsible for sourcing potential investments, analyzing and conducting due diligence on prospective investment opportunities, structuring investments, and ongoing monitoring of the Master Fund’s investment portfolio. On August 10, 2017, CCA resigned as the Master Fund's investment advisor and administrator, and the Master Fund's Board of Trustees ("Master Fund's Board") selected Guggenheim to perform the Master Fund's investment advisory and administrative responsibilities, both events concurrently effective on September 11, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, Guggenheim serves as investment advisor pursuant to an interim investment advisory agreement which commenced on September 11, 2017. The Master Fund's Board set a shareholder meeting date of October 20, 2017 and a record date of August 25, 2017 for Master Fund shareholders to consider the approval of a new investment advisory agreement between Guggenheim and the Master Fund.

Between July 24, 2015 and April 28, 2017, the Company was offering and selling its common shares ("Shares" or "Common Shares") pursuant to a registration statement on Form N-2 (the “Registration Statement”) covering its continuous public offering of up to $1.0 billion (the “Public Offering”). The Company initially sold and issued Shares on October 8, 2015 and then commenced investment operations. On April 28, 2017, the Company's Public Offering was terminated, resulting in a gross capital raise of approximately $164 million from the sale and issuance of Common Shares in the the Public Offering. The Company may continue to acquire Master Fund common shares in a continuous series of private placement transactions with the proceeds from its distribution reinvestment program, subject to the availability of surplus cash available for investment (see Note 5. Common Shares). As of September 30, 2017, the Company owned 64.6% of the Master Fund's outstanding common shares.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Management has determined that the Company meets the definition of an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 — Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC Topic 946”).

The Company's interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and the disclosure requirements stipulated in Articles 6 and 10 of Regulation S-X, and therefore do not necessarily include all information and notes necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim period presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results from operations. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year. The Company's unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Master Fund's unaudited consolidated financial statements; the Master Fund's quarterly report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference and filed as an exhibit to this Report.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation with no effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, (ii) the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period, and (iii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Cash

Cash consists of demand deposits held at a major U.S. financial institution and the amount recorded on the statements of assets and liabilities may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. Management believes the credit risk related to its demand deposits is minimal.

Valuation of Investments

The Company invests substantially all of its equity capital in the purchase of the Master Fund's common shares and its primary investment position is common shares of the Master Fund. The Company determines the fair value of the Master Fund's common shares as the Master Fund's net asset value per common share (as determined by the Master Fund) multiplied by the number of Master Fund common shares owned by the Company. The Company has implemented Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-07, which permits a reporting entity, as a practical expedient, to measure the fair value of certain investments using the net asset value per share of the investment.

Transactions with the Master Fund

Distributions received from the Master Fund are recorded on the record date. Distributions received from the Master Fund are recognized as dividend income in the current period, a portion of which may be subject to a change in characterization in future periods, including the potential for reclassification to realized gains and return of capital. The Company's transactions with the Master Fund are recorded on the effective date of the subscription in, or the redemption of, the Master Fund shares. Realized gains and losses from the Company's transactions with the Master Fund are calculated on the specific share identification basis.

Organization and Offering Expenses

Organization expenses are expensed on the Company's statements of operations. Continuous offering expenses are capitalized monthly on the Company's statements of assets and liabilities as deferred offering costs and thereafter expensed to the Company's statements of operations over a 12-month period.

Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017 (the second calendar quarter after the close of the Company's Public Offering), the Company will commence quarterly payments of the distribution and shareholder servicing fee (the "DSS Fee") at an annual rate of 0.90% of the average net purchase price per share sold in the Public Offering. The purpose of the DSS Fee is to reimburse Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Dealer Manager" or "GFD"), an affiliate of Guggenheim, for costs incurred by selected dealers and investment representatives for (i) distribution of the Company's Common Shares (the "Distribution Services Component") and (ii) providing ongoing shareholder services (the "Shareholder Services Component"). Beginning in the third quarter of 2017 (the first calendar quarter after the close of the Company's Public Offering), the Company commenced recognition of the Shareholder Services Component as an expense on the Company's statements of operations as the services are provided. The Company has allocated 0.25% per annum of the average net purchase price per share sold in the Public Offering to this Shareholder Services Component. As the Distribution Services Component, representing 0.65% per annum of the average net purchase price per share sold in the Public Offering, pertains to the sale of the Company's Common Shares, the Company estimates the present value of all future Distribution Services Component payments, employing a discount rate equal to the prevailing effective yield on 5-year US Treasuries as observed on December 30, 2016. The Company records a liability equal to the estimated present value of the Distribution Services Component payments, recorded as "Due to Dealer Manager" with an offsetting charge to “Paid-in-capital in excess of par value” on the statements of assets and liabilities, and recorded as a "Distribution services charge" on the statements of changes in net assets.

The quarterly payment of the DSS Fee is computed at the daily rate of 0.002466% (i.e. annual rate of 0.90%) of the product of (i) $9.12 per share (the average net purchase price of Common Shares sold in the Public Offering, excluding Common Shares issued under the Company's distribution reinvestment plan ("DRP Shares")), and (ii) the number of Common Shares outstanding on each day during the recording period, excluding (a) DRP Shares and (b) Shares owned by shareholders that are not recipients of ongoing shareholder services from eligible selected dealers. The Company will cease to pay the DSS Fee at the earlier of: (i) the date at which the second amended and restated dealer manager agreement (the "Dealer Manager Agreement") is terminated; (ii) the date at which the underwriting compensation from all sources, including the DSS Fee, any organization and offering fees paid to the Dealer Manager for underwriting, underwriting compensation, and shareholder servicing paid directly by the shareholders and the Company or its affiliates, equals 10% of the gross proceeds from the Company's Public Offering, excluding proceeds from DRP Share sales; and (iii) the date at which a liquidity event occurs.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, $0.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of DSS Fees were charged to “Paid-in-capital in excess of par value”, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively were charged to "Shareholder servicing component expenses" and less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, were charged to interest expense, included in other expenses, for the accretion of the present value discount. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had recognized a liability to the Dealer Manager of $3.7 million, representing (i) the present value of all future payments of the Distribution Services Component, or $3.7 million discounted at a rate of 1.93% and (ii) the current period accrued portion of the Shareholder Services Component, or $0.1 million. The following table presents the timing of future payments of the estimated $3.7 million of the DSS Fee: Distribution Services Component (in thousands):



	September 30, 2017
	Total		< 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		> 5 years
DSS Fee: Distribution Services Component	$	3,747	$	1,014	$	1,684	$	1,049	$	—

Earnings per Common Share

Earnings per Common Share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the reporting period.

Distributions to the Company's Shareholders

Distributions to the Company's shareholders are recorded as a liability as of the record date.

Federal Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intends to maintain its qualification, as a Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Generally, a RIC is not subject to federal income taxes on distributed income and gains if it distributes dividends in a timely manner out of assets legally available for distributions to its shareholders of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of its “Investment Company Taxable Income,” determined without regard to any dividend paid, as defined in the Code. The Company intends to distribute sufficient dividends to maintain its RIC status each year and it does not anticipate incurring a material level of federal income taxes.

The Company is generally subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if it does not distribute dividends to its shareholders in respect of each calendar year of an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gain net income (i.e., capital gains in excess of capital losses), adjusted for certain ordinary losses, for the one-year period generally ending on October 31^st of the calendar year and (iii) any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding calendar years that were not distributed during such calendar years and on which the Company incurred no federal income tax. The Company may, at its discretion, incur a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on under-distribution of taxable ordinary income and capital gains.

___________________


(1)	"Weighted average shares owned" of the Master Fund is computed as the weighted average shares owned from January 1^st of the year noted to the corresponding as of date.

Restricted Securities

The Master Fund does not currently intend to list its common shares on any securities exchange and it does not expect a secondary market to develop for its issued and outstanding common shares. As a result, the Company's ability to sell its Master Fund common shares is limited. Because the Master Fund common shares are being acquired in one or more transactions not involving a public offering, they are "restricted securities" and may be required to be held indefinitely. Master Fund common shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of unless (i) the Master Fund's consent is granted, and (ii) the Master Fund common shares are registered under applicable securities laws or specifically exempted from registration (in which case the Master Fund's shareholder may, at the Master Fund's option, be required to provide the Master Fund with a legal opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Master Fund, that registration is not required). Accordingly, a shareholder in the Master Fund, including the Company, must be willing to bear the economic risk of investing in the Master Fund. No sale,

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

transfer, assignment, pledge or other disposition, whether voluntary or involuntary, of the Master Fund's common shares may be made except by registration of the transfer on the Master Fund's books. Each transferee will be required to execute an instrument agreeing to be bound by these restrictions and the other restrictions imposed on the Master Fund common shares and to execute such other instruments or certifications as are reasonably required by the Master Fund.

Share Repurchase Program

The Master Fund has implemented a share repurchase program, whereby each calendar quarter it offers to repurchase up to 2.5% of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the prior four calendar quarters at a price estimated to be equal to its net asset value per common share as of the end of the preceding calendar quarter. The Master Fund's Board may amend, suspend, or terminate the share repurchase program upon 30 days' notice.

Note 4. Related Party Agreements and Transactions

Of the Company’s executive officers, Kevin Robinson, Senior Vice President, and Dina DiLorenzo, Senior Vice President, serve as executive officers of Guggenheim. The memberships of the Company's Board of Trustees (the "Company's Board" or "Board of Trustees") and the Master Fund's Board are identical and consequently the Company and the Master Fund are related parties. All of the Company's executive officers also serve as executive officers of the Master Fund.

The Company has entered into agreements with Guggenheim whereby the Company agrees to (i) receive expense support payments and (ii) reimburse certain expenses of, and to pay for, administrative, expense support, organization and offerings costs incurred by Guggenheim on the Company's behalf. The Company has also approved an assignment and assumption agreement with respect to the Dealer Manager Agreement. Pursuant to the assigned Dealer Manager Agreement, GFD receives DSS Fees payments from the Company and distributes collected DSS Fees to eligible selected dealers that have elected to receive DSS Fees.

Administrative Services Agreement

Prior to September 11, 2017, the Company was party to an amended and restated administrative services agreement with CCA (the "Prior Administrative Services Agreement") whereby CCA agreed to provide administrative services to the Company, including office facilities and equipment, and clerical, bookkeeping, and record-keeping services. More specifically, CCA, serving as the administrator (the "Prior Administrator"), performed and oversaw the Company's required administrative services, which include financial and corporate record-keeping, preparing and disseminating the Company's reports to its shareholders, and filing reports with the SEC. In addition, the Prior Administrator assisted in determining net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns, overseeing the payment of expenses and distributions, and overseeing the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others. For providing these services, facilities, and personnel, the Company reimbursed the Prior Administrator the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Prior Administrator in performing its obligations under the Prior Administrative Services Agreement. On September 5, 2017 the Company entered into an administrative services agreement with Guggenheim (the "Administrative Services Agreement") whereby Guggenheim, serving as the administrator (the "Administrator") agreed to provide administrative services, similar to those previously provided by CCA, commencing on September 11, 2017.

The Administrative Services Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty: (i) by the Company upon 60 days' written notice to Guggenheim upon the vote of the Company's independent trustees, or (ii) by the Guggenheim upon not less than 120 days' written notice to the Company. Unless earlier terminated, the Administrative Services Agreement will remain in effect year to year if approved annually by a majority of the Company's Board and the Company's Independent Trustees.

Dealer Manager Agreement

On July 17, 2015, the Company initially entered into the Dealer Manager Agreement with Carey Financial, LLC ("Carey Financial") and the Master Fund. On August 10, 2017, Carey Financial assigned the Dealer Manager Agreement to GFD and the assignment and assumption agreement was approved by the Company's Board. Under the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement, GFD is to act on a best efforts basis as the exclusive dealer manager for (i) the administration of the Company's DSS Fee payments to selected dealers, and (ii) the public offering of common shares for future feeder funds affiliated with the Master Fund. The Company, not the Master Fund, is responsible for the compensation of GFD pursuant to the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement. GFD does not receive any compensation to manage the Company's DSS Fees program and it is not entitled to retain any of the DSS Fees payments. The Dealer Manager Agreement may be terminated by the Company or GFD upon 60 calender days' written notice to the other party. In the event that the Company or GFD terminates the Dealer Manager Agreement with respect to the Company, the Dealer Manager Agreement will continue with respect to any other feeder fund.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company will initiate quarterly DSS Fee payments to reimburse GFD for costs incurred by selected dealers and investment representatives for providing distribution and shareholder services. The DSS Fee quarterly payments will cease in the event that the Dealer Manager Agreement is terminated by the Company or GFD.

Organization and Offering Expense Reimbursement Agreement

On August 17, 2015, the Company initially entered into an organization and offering expense reimbursement agreement, as may be amended (the "O&O Agreement"), with CCA and Guggenheim. Under the O&O Agreement, the Company reimbursed

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

CCA and Guggenheim for organization and offering costs incurred on the Company's behalf, including, but not limited to, legal services, audit services, printer services, and the registration of securities under the Securities Act. The reimbursement of organization and offering expenses was conditional on the Company's receipt of equity capital from the sale of its Common Shares. Any such reimbursement could not exceed actual expenses incurred by CCA and Guggenheim and their affiliates. The Advisors were ultimately responsible for the payment of the Company's cumulative organization and offering expenses to the extent they exceed 1.5% of the aggregate proceeds from the sale of the Company's Common Shares, without recourse against or reimbursement by the Company. Under the terms of the O&O Agreement, the Company is no longer obligated to reimburse CCA and Guggenheim for unreimbursed offering expenses after the close of the Public Offering on April 28, 2017.

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement

The Company initially entered into an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement with CCA and Guggenheim executed on July 24, 2015, as amended (the "Prior Expense Support Agreement"). According to the terms of the Prior Expense Support Agreement CCA and Guggenheim agreed to reimburse the Company for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that no portion of the Company's distributions to shareholders will be paid from Common Share offering proceeds. CCA and Guggenheim agreed to reimburse the Company monthly for expenses in an amount equal to the difference between the Company's cumulative distributions paid to its shareholders in each month less the sum of the Company's estimated investment company taxable income and net capital gains in each month. On September 5, 2017 the Company entered into an amended and restated expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement (the "Expense Support Agreement") with Guggenheim and CCA, for a limited purpose, effective as of September 11, 2017. The amended terms of the Expense Support Agreement: (i) release CCA from all obligations to make further expense payments, (ii) terminate all of CCA's rights under the Expense Support Agreement, including any right to reimbursement for prior period expense payments made under the terms of the Prior Expense Support Agreement, and (iii) permit the Company the option to limit or reduce the reimbursement of expenses in any manner so that the Company will comply with IRC Section 851 in each of its future tax years. As a result, 100% of all CCA's prior periods' expense support payments were classed as ineligible for future reimbursement, and going forward, Guggenheim is the sole source of expense support payments and solely eligible for reimbursement of prior periods' expense support payments.

Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Company has a conditional obligation to reimburse Guggenheim for any amounts funded by Guggenheim under this arrangement or the Prior Expense Support Agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any month occurring within three years of the date on which Guggenheim funded such amount, the sum of the Company's estimated investment company taxable income and net capital gains exceeds the ordinary cash distributions paid by the Company to its shareholders; provided, however, that (i) the Company will only reimburse Guggenheim for expense support payments made by Guggenheim to the extent that the payment of such reimbursement (together with any other reimbursement paid during such fiscal year) does not cause "other operating expenses" (as defined below) (on an annualized basis and net of any expense support reimbursement payments received by the Company during such fiscal year) to exceed the lesser of (A) 1.75% of the Company's average net assets attributable to its Common Shares for the fiscal year-to-date period after taking such payments into account and (B) the percentage of the Company's average net assets attributable to its Common Shares represented by "other operating expenses" during the fiscal year in which such expense support payment from Guggenheim was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) will not apply to any reimbursement payment which relates to an expense support payment from the Advisors made during the same fiscal year); and (ii) the Company will not reimburse Guggenheim for expense support payments made by Guggenheim if the annualized rate of regular cash distributions declared by the Company at the time of such reimbursement payment is less than the annualized rate of regular cash distributions declared by the Company at the time Guggenheim made the expense support payment to which such reimbursement payment relates. "Other operating expenses" means the Company's total "operating expenses" (as defined below), excluding any investment advisory fee, a performance-based incentive fee, organization and offering expenses, shareholder servicing fees, interest expense, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. "Operating expenses" means all operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with GAAP for investment companies.

The Company or Guggenheim may terminate the Expense Support Agreement at any time. The Expense Support Agreement will automatically terminate if (i) the Master Fund terminates the investment advisory agreement with Guggenheim, or (ii) the Company's Board makes a determination to dissolve or liquidate the Company.

The specific amount of Guggenheim's expense support obligation is determined at the end of each month. Upon termination of the Expense Support Agreement by Guggenheim, they are required to fund any amounts accrued thereunder as of the date of termination. Similarly, the conditional obligation of the Company to reimburse Guggenheim pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support Agreement shall survive the termination of such agreement by either party. There can be no assurance that the Expense Support Agreement will remain in effect or that Guggenheim will reimburse any portion of the Company's expenses in future months.

(1)	Other operating expenses include all expenses borne by the Company excluding organization and offering costs, an investment advisory fee, a performance-based incentive fee, financing fees and costs, and interest expense. "NM" means not measurable in these months due to the absence of a positive value for Average Net Assets.


(2)	"Annualized Regular Cash Distribution Rate/Share, Declared" equals the annualized rate of average weekly distributions per Share that were declared with record dates in the subject month immediately prior to the date the expenses support payment obligation was incurred by CCA and Guggenheim. Regular cash distributions do not include declared special cash or share distributions, if any.


(3)	In December 2015 and September 2016, CCA and Guggenheim's year-to-date expense support obligation was reduced after adjusting for the Master Fund's periodic distributions to the Company and a decrease in estimated professional services fees in those same months.

Indemnification

The Administrative Services Agreement provides certain indemnification to the Administrator, its directors, officers, persons associated with the Administrator, and its affiliates. In addition, the Company's Declaration of Trust, as amended, provides certain indemnifications to its officers, trustees, agents, and certain other persons. The Dealer Manager Agreement provides for certain indemnifications from the Company (with respect to the primary offering of its Common Shares) to the Dealer Manager, any selected dealers and their respective officers, directors, employees, members, affiliates, agents, representatives and, if any, each person who controls such person or entity within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. Such indemnifications are subject to certain limitations as provided for in the Company’s Declaration of Trust and the North American Securities Administrators Association Guidelines and are considered customary by management. As of September 30, 2017, management believes that the risk of incurring any losses for such indemnification is remote.

(1)	The per Common Share data was derived by using the weighted average Common Shares outstanding during the period.

(2)

The amount shown at this caption is the balancing figure derived from the other figures in the schedule. The amount shown at this caption for a Common Share outstanding throughout the period may not agree with the change in the aggregate gains and losses in portfolio securities for the period because of the timing of sales of the Company’s Common Shares in relation to fluctuating market values for the portfolio.


(3)	The per Common Share data for distributions is the actual amount of distributions paid or payable per Common Share outstanding during the entire period; distributions per Common Share are rounded to the nearest $0.01.

(4)

The continuous issuance of Common Shares may cause an incremental increase in net asset value per Share due to the sale of Shares at the then prevailing public offering price and the receipt of net proceeds per share by the Company in excess of net asset value per Share on each subscription closing date. The per share data was derived by computing (i) the sum of (A) the number of shares issued in connection with subscriptions and/or distribution reinvestment on each share transaction date times (B) the differences between the net proceeds per share and the net asset value per share on each share transaction date, divided by (ii) the total shares outstanding at the end of the period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(5)

Total investment return-net price is a measure of total return for shareholders, assuming the purchase of the Company’s Common Shares at the beginning of the period and the reinvestment of all distributions declared during the period. More specifically, total investment return-net price is based on (i) the purchase of Common Shares at the net offering price on the first day of the period, (ii) the sale at the net asset value per Common Share on the last day of the period, of (A) purchased Common Shares plus (B) any Common Shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of distributions, and (iii) distributions payable relating to the ownership of Common Shares, if any, on the last day of the period. The total investment return-net price calculation assumes that (i) cash distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan and (ii) the Common Shares issued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan are issued at the then net offering price per Common Share on each distribution payment date. Since there is no public market for the Company’s Common Shares, then the terminal sales price per Common Share is assumed to be equal to net asset value per Common Share on the last day of the period presented. Total investment return-net price is not annualized. Investment performance is presented without regard to sales load that may be incurred by shareholders in the purchase of the Company’s Common Shares. The Company’s performance changes over time and currently may be different than that shown above. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

(6)

Total investment return-net asset value is a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held the Company’s Common Shares at the beginning and end of the period, including distributions declared during the period. Total investment return-net asset value is based on (i) net asset value per share on the first day of the period, (ii) the net asset value per share on the last day of the period, plus any shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of monthly distributions, and (iii) distributions payable relating to the ownership of shares, if any, on the last day of the period. The total investment return-net asset value calculation assumes that (i) monthly cash distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan and (ii) the shares issued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan are issued at the then current public offering price, net of sales load, on each monthly distribution payment date. Since there is no public market for the Company’s shares, terminal market value per share is assumed to be equal to the net asset value per share on the last day of the period presented. Total investment return-net asset value is not annualized. Investment performance is presented without regard to sales load that may be incurred by shareholders in the purchase of the Company’s Common Shares. The Company’s performance changes over time and currently may be different than that shown above. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.


(7)	The computation of average net assets during the period is based on averaging the amount on the first day of the first month of the period and the last day of each month during the period. Ratios-to-average net assets, expressed as a percentage, are not annualized.


(8)	The ratios-to-average net assets do not include any proportionate allocation of income and expenses incurred at the Master Fund.


(9)	The per share impact of the distribution services component of the DSS Fee is calculated as the amount of the incremental distribution services component of the DSS Fee charged to “Paid-in-capital in excess of par value” divided by common shares outstanding at the end of the period.

Note 9. Subsequent Events

On October 20, 2017, a new investment advisory agreement between the Master Fund and Guggenheim was approved by a majority (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the votes cast by shareholders. The new investment advisory agreement replaced the Interim Investment Advisory Agreement effective as of October 20, 2017.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The information contained in this item should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Report. Unless otherwise noted, the terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to Guggenheim Credit Income Fund 2016 T. The Term "Master Fund" refers to Guggenheim Credit Income Fund. Capitalized terms used in this Item 2 have the same meaning as in the accompanying financial statements presented in Part I. Item I. Financial Statements (Unaudited), unless otherwise defined herein.

Overview

We are a feeder fund and we are affiliated with the Master Fund, which is a specialty finance investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The Master Fund is externally managed by Guggenheim, which is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments, determining the securities and other assets that we will purchase, retain or sell, and monitoring our portfolio on an ongoing basis. The Master Fund's management discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations as presented in its quarterly report should be read in its entirety.

Investment Objectives and Investment Program

Our investment objectives are to provide our shareholders with current income, capital preservation, and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We intend to meet our investment objectives by investing substantially all of our equity capital in the Master Fund. The Master Fund's investment objectives are the same as our own. The Master Fund's investment strategy is focused on creating and growing an investment portfolio that generates superior risk-adjusted returns by carefully selecting investments through rigorous due diligence and actively managing and monitoring our investment portfolio. When evaluating an investment and the related portfolio company, the Master Fund uses the resources of Guggenheim to develop an investment thesis and a proprietary view of a potential portfolio company’s intrinsic value. We believe the Master Fund's flexible approach to investing allows it to take advantage of opportunities that offer favorable risk/reward characteristics.

The Master Fund primarily focuses on the following range of investment types that may be available within the capital structure of portfolio companies:

•

Senior Debt. Senior debt investments generally take a security interest in the available assets of the portfolio company, including equity interests in any of its subsidiaries. These senior debt classifications include senior secured first lien loans, senior secured second lien loans, senior secured bonds and senior unsecured debt. In some circumstances, the secured lien could be subordinated to the claims of other creditors. While there is no specific collateral associated with senior unsecured debt, such positions are senior in payment and priority over subordinated creditors.


•	Subordinated Debt. Subordinated debt investments are generally subordinated to senior debt and are generally unsecured. These investments are generally structured with interest-only payments throughout the life of the security, with the principal due at maturity.


•	Equity Investments. Preferred and/or common equity investments may be acquired alongside senior and subordinated debt investment activities or through the exercising of warrants or options attached to debt investments. Income is generated primarily through regular or sporadic dividends, and realized gains on dispositions of such investments.

The Master Fund's investment activities may vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including: the demand for capital from creditworthy privately owned U.S. companies, the level of merger, acquisition, and refinancing activity involving private companies, the availability of credit to finance transactions, the general economic environment, the competitive investment environment for the types of investments the Master Fund currently seeks and intends to seek in the future, the amount of equity capital the Master Fund raises from the sale of its common shares to us and any other feeder funds, and the amount and cost of capital that the Master Fund may borrow.

The Master Fund acquires its portfolio investments through the following investment access channels:


•	Direct Originations: The Master Fund sources originated investments through the relationship networks of Guggenheim. Such investments are originated or structured for the Master Fund or made by the Master Fund and are not generally available to the broader investment market. These investments may include both debt and equity investment components.


•	Primary Issuance: The Master Fund also participates in private placement transactions that are made available to, and become closely held by, a relatively small group of institutional investors. These transactions are typically originated and arranged by other investment intermediaries other than Guggenheim.


•	Secondary Market Transactions: In certain circumstances the Master Fund will also invest in broadly syndicated loans, high yield credit markets, and other investments that are generally owned by a wide range of investors and made available through various trading markets.

Revenues

We generate revenues primarily in the form of dividend income derived from our ownership of the Master Fund's common shares. Our revenues will fluctuate with the operating performance of the Master Fund and its distributions paid to us.

Operating Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include administrative services, related party reimbursements, custodian and accounting services, independent audit services, compliance services, tax services fees, legal services, transfer agent services, shareholder servicing component expenses, organization expenses and offering expenses. Additionally, we indirectly bear the operating expenses of the Master Fund through our ownership of its common shares, such as an investment advisory fee, a performance-based incentive fee, independent audit services, third-party valuation services, and various other professional services fees.

Public Offering Wrap-up

Our Public Offering commenced on July 24, 2015 and closed on April 28, 2017. Over the course of the 21-month offering period, we raised $164.2 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds of $154.8 million for investment in the Master Fund. At the commencement of the Public Offering, the initial public offer price was $9.55 per Share ($9.00 net price per Share after sales load); at the last subscription closing before the conclusion of the Public Offering, the public offering price was $9.95 per Share ($9.38 net price per Share after sale load). As of September 30, 2017, we have invested $156.1 million in the Master Fund, including the proceeds from our distribution reinvestment program.

We reimbursed CCA and Guggenheim for organization and offering expenses equivalent to 1.3% of gross proceeds of $164.2 million, or $2.1 million, throughout the life of the Public Offering.

With the completion of the Public Offering, the DSS Fee payments will commence in the fourth quarter of 2017 as follows: over each twelve month period the DSS Fee payment may not exceed $1.4 million, or 0.9% of $154.8 million in net proceeds from our Public Offering of Common Shares. The total of all DSS Fee payments over our remaining life will not exceed $5.8 million, or 3.6% of the gross proceeds from our Public Offering.

Investment Income

Investment income consisted solely of distributions from the Master Fund for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consisted of the following major components for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):



	For The Three Months Ended September 30,					For The Nine Months Ended September 30,

Net expenses	$	650		$	548	$	303		$	79

Related party reimbursements are comprised of the Company's allocable share of costs and expenses incurred by CCA or Guggenheim that were reimbursable. Reimbursable costs and expenses include, but are not limited to, the Company's share of salaries, rent, office administration, costs associated with regulatory reporting and filings, and costs related to the preparation for, and conducting of, meetings of the Company's Board. An investment advisory fee is only incurred by the Master Fund, although it is incurred indirectly by the Company.

Beginning on July 1, 2017, the Company incurred an additional operating expense, specifically the Shareholder Servicing Component of the DSS Fee, to reimburse the Dealer Manager of the Company's Public Offering for costs incurred by participating broker-dealers and investment representatives for providing ongoing shareholder services. The Shareholder Servicing Component will accrue daily and will be recorded on the statement of operations. The Shareholder Servicing Component will be computed at the daily rate of 0.000685% (i.e. annual rate of 0.25%) of the product of (i) the weighted average net price of Common Shares sold in the Public Offering, excluding DRP Shares, and (ii) the number of Common Shares outstanding on each day of the recording period, excluding (a) DRP Shares and (b) Common Shares owned by the Company's shareholders that are not receiving shareholder services from an eligible participating broker-dealer. This operating expense, when incurred, will be borne equally among all of the Company's outstanding Shares.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company will initiate quarterly DSS Fee payments to reimburse the Dealer Manager for costs incurred by participating broker-dealers and investment representatives for providing distribution and shareholder services. The DSS Fee quarterly payments will cease in the event that the Dealer Manager Agreement is terminated by the Company or the Dealer Manager.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investment

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we had realized gains of less than $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, as a result of our sale of Master Fund Shares.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we did not sell any shares of the Master Fund, therefore we incurred no realized gains or losses on our investment.

Changes in Unrealized Appreciation on Investment

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the total net change in unrealized appreciation on our investment in the Master Fund was $0.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the total net change in unrealized appreciation on our investment in the Master Fund was $1.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in operating activities was $41.2 million. Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to the Company's investment in the Master Fund. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash used in operating activities was $74.1 million. Cash flows used in operating operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to the Company's investment in the Master Fund.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $40.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily represented by proceeds from issuance of Common Shares of $46.4 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $75.2

million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily represented by proceeds from issuance of Common Shares of $76.1 million.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of cash include (i) the sale of our Common Shares (until the end of our Public Offering on April 28, 2017), (ii) our shareholders' reinvestment of their distributions, (iii) distributions received from our ownership of the Master Fund's common shares, and (iv) expense reimbursement payments from CCA (from July 2015 to August 2017) and Guggenheim pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement. Our primary uses of cash include (i) investment in Master Fund common shares, (ii) payment of operating expenses and the DSS Fee Distribution Component, (iii) cash distributions to our shareholders, and (iv) periodic repurchases of our Common Shares pursuant to our share repurchase program. We are not permitted to issue any senior securities, including preferred securities.

We manage our assets and liabilities such that current assets are sufficient to cover current liabilities. All remaining cash in excess of net working capital, if any, is invested in Master Fund common shares.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. We believe that the estimates and assumptions utilized in preparing the financial statements are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies.

Valuation of Investments

We invest substantially all of our equity capital in the purchase of common shares of the Master Fund. We determine the fair value of our investment in the Master Fund as the Master Fund's net asset value per common share (as determined by the Master Fund) multiplied by the number of Master Fund common shares that we own.

Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017 (the second calendar quarter after the close of the Company's Public Offering), we will commence quarterly payments of the DSS Fee at an annual rate of 0.90% of the average net purchase price per share sold in the Public Offering. The purpose of the DSS Fee is to reimburse the Dealer Manager of our Public Offering, for costs incurred by selected dealers and investment representatives for services related to (i) the Distribution Services Component and (ii) the Shareholder Services Component. Beginning in the third quarter of 2017 (the first calendar quarter after the close of the Company's Public Offering), we commenced recognition of the Shareholder Services Component as an expense on the Company's statement of operations as the services are provided. We allocated 0.25% per annum of the average net purchase price per share sold in the Public Offering to this component. As the Distribution Services Component, representing 0.65% per annum of the average net purchase price per share sold in the Public Offering, pertains to the sale of our Common Shares, we estimate the present value of all future Distribution Services Component payments, employing a discount rate equal to the prevailing effective yield on 5-year US Treasuries as observed on December 30, 2016. We record a liability equal to the estimated present value of the Distribution Services Component, recorded as "Due to Dealer Manager" with an offsetting charge to “Paid-in-capital in excess of par value” on the statements of assets and liabilities, and recorded as a "Distribution services charge" on the statements of changes in net assets. The table below reconciles the change in the Due to Dealer Manager from January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 (in thousands):



	2017
Balance as of January 1,	$	2,300
Accretion of discount ⁽¹⁾	55
Incremental charge to paid-in-capital ⁽²⁾	1,253
Shareholder Services Component	97
Payments	—
Balance as of September 30,	$	3,705

______________________


(1)	As the present value discount of the Distribution Services Component is accreted it is recorded as interest expense and included in other expenses.


(2)	Incremental charge to paid-in-capital is the result of incremental equity share sales and changes in assumptions employed in estimating future cash payments.

Contractual Obligations

We have not entered into any agreements under which we have material future commitments that cannot otherwise be terminated within a reasonable time period.

Obligations to Pay Distributions

Our Board of Trustees has declared distributions on Common Shares that are payable to shareholders of record after September 30, 2017. The declared distribution rates per Share for the period after September 30, 2017 are summarized as follows:

Obligation to Pay the Distribution Services Component of the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee

The Distribution Services Component of the DSS Fee represents reimbursement to the Dealer Manager for costs incurred by participating broker-dealers and investment representatives for the distribution of our Common Shares. (See Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies - Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees regarding the obligation to pay the Distribution Services Component.) The DSS Fee quarterly payments will cease in the event that the Dealer Manager Agreement is terminated by us or the Dealer Manager. The table below presents the expected schedule of future payments of the Distribution Services Component of the DSS Fee (in thousands):



	September 30, 2017
	Total		< 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		> 5 years
DSS Fee: Distribution Services Component	$	3,747	$	1,014	$	1,684	$	1,049	$	—

Related Party Agreements and Transactions

We have entered into agreements with Guggenheim, and one of its affiliates, whereby we agreed to (i) receive expense support payments, (ii) reimburse certain expenses of, and to pay for, administrative services, expense support, organization and offerings costs, and DSS Fees incurred on our behalf, See Note 4. Related Party Agreements and Transactions for a discussion of related party agreements and expense reimbursement agreements.

Reimbursement of CCA and Guggenheim for Organization and Offering Expenses

Under the terms of the O&O Agreement, we agreed to reimburse CCA and Guggenheim for our organization and offering expenses solely in connection with the capital raise of our Public Offering (see Note 4. Related Party Agreements and Transactions). Since the Public Offering has terminated, CCA and Guggenheim are not eligible to receive any further reimbursement of offering expenses after April 28, 2017.

Reimbursement of the Administrator for Administrative Services

We reimburse the Administrator for its expenses in connection with the provision of administrative services to us. These reimbursement expenses are periodically reviewed and approved by the Independent Trustees Committee of our Board of Trustees. See Note 4. Related Party Agreements and Transactions for a summary of reimbursable expenses as related to administrative services.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates through our investment in the Master Fund. As of September 30, 2017, 90.4% of the Master Fund's debt investments, or $344.2 million measured at fair value, is subject to variable interest rates. The Master Fund's sole credit facility is also subject to changes in its 3-Month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) base rate. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to (i) higher interest income for the Master Fund's variable rate debt investments, (ii) value declines for fixed rate investments the Master Fund may hold, and (iii) higher interest expense in connection with the Master Fund's floating rate credit facility. To the extent that a majority of the Master Fund's investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates could also make it more difficult for borrowers to repay their loans, and a rise in interest rates may also make it easier for the Advisors to meet or exceed the quarterly threshold for a performance based incentive fee as described in Note 4. Related Party Agreements and Transactions of the Master Fund's consolidated financial statements.

Based on our investment position in the Master Fund as of September 30, 2017, the following table presents the approximate annualized increase in value per outstanding Common Share due to (i) interest income from the Master Fund's investment portfolio and (ii) interest expense on the Master Fund's floating rate borrowings, directly resulting from hypothetical changes in base rate interest rates (e.g., LIBOR), assuming no changes in (i) the number of outstanding Common Shares, (ii) the

number of outstanding Master Fund Shares, (iii) our percent ownership of Master Fund shares, and (iv) that changes in the Master Fund's net investment income are immediately passed on to the Master Fund's shareholders, including us:



Basis Points (bps) Increase	Net Increase per Share
+50 bps	$	0.03
+100 bps	0.06
+150 bps	0.09
+200 bps	0.12

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, were effective as of September 30, 2017 at a reasonable level of assurance.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

At November 9, 2017, we were not subject to any material legal proceedings, and, to our knowledge, there were no material legal proceedings threatened against us.

From time to time, we, or our administrator, may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of, or incidental to the normal course of, our business, including legal proceedings related to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While legal proceedings, lawsuits, claims, and regulatory proceedings are subject to many uncertainties and their ultimate outcomes are not predictable with assurance, the results of these proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As of September 30, 2017, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K dated April 17, 2017.
