Total investment return at net asset value is based on changes in the net asset value of Fund shares and assumes reinvestment of distributions, if any, at actual prices pursuant to the fund’s dividend reinvestment program. Total investment return at market value is based on changes in the market price at which the Fund’s shares traded on the stock exchange during the period and assumes reinvestment of distributions, if any, at actual prices pursuant to the Fund’s dividend reinvestment program. Because the Fund’s shares trade in the stock market based on investor demand, the Fund may trade at a price higher or lower than its NAV. Therefore, returns are calculated based on NAV and market price. Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. |

Annualized. |
5 |
Portfolio turnover is calculated by dividing the lesser of total purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the reporting period by the monthly average of portfolio securities owned during the reporting period. Excluded from both the numerator and denominator are amounts relating to derivatives and securities whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition were one year or less. |

Per share information is calculated using the average shares outstanding method. |

Total investment return at net asset value is based on the change in the net asset value of Fund shares and assumes reinvestment of distributions, if any, at actual prices pursuant to the Fund’s dividend reinvestment program. Total investment return at market value is based on the change in the market price at which the Fund’s shares traded on the stock exchange during the period and assumes reinvestment of distributions, if any, at actual prices pursuant to the Fund’s dividend reinvestment program. Because the Fund’s shares trade in the stock market based on investor demand, the Fund may trade at a price higher or lower than its NAV. Therefore, returns are calculated based on NAV and market price. |

Exhibit 19(a)(5) Changes in the registrants independent public accountant.
There was a change in the registrants independent public accountant during the reporting period. Per the instructions to Item 19 of Form N-CSR regarding changes in the registrants independent public accountant.
Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm
On April 23, 2024, the Board of Directors (the Board) of Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) approved the dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund, due to PwCs ceasing to be deemed an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Fund after April 30, 2024. The Boards decision to approve the dismissal of PwC was recommended by the Audit Committee of the Board.
The reports of PwC on the Funds financial statements as of and for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Funds two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and during the period from the end of the most recently completed fiscal year through April 30, 2024, there were no disagreements between the Fund and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in their report on the financial statements of the Fund for such periods.
During the Funds two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and during the period from the end of the most recently completed fiscal year through April 30, 2024, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 1934 Act)).
The Fund previously provided PwC with a copy of the foregoing disclosure and requested that PwC furnish the Fund with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not its agrees with the statements made by the Fund set forth above. A copy of PwCs letter dated May 2, 2024 is filed as an Exhibit to this Form N-CSR.
(b) Engagement of new independent registered public accounting firm
Effective June 19, 2024, Ernst & Young LLP (EY) was engaged as the independent registered public accounting firm for Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The engagement of EY was previously approved by the Funds Board of Directors (the Board) upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board.
During the Funds two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023 and during the period from the end of the most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 through June 19, 2024, neither the Fund nor anyone on its behalf consulted with EY, on behalf of the Fund, regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction (either completed or proposed), the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the 1934 Act and the instructions thereto, or a reportable event, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the 1934 Act.
