                  Angel Oak Strategic Credit Fund (File Nos. 333-220480 and 811-23289)

      Dear Ms. Choo:

      This letter responds to comments Keith Gregory conveyed to us via telephone on August 14, 2019, in connection with the Securities and Exchange Commission
        staff’s (the “Staff’s”) review of Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to Angel Oak Strategic Credit Fund’s (the “Fund’s”) registration statement on Form N-2 (the “Registration Statement”), which was filed on July 3, 2019.  The Fund filed Post-Effective
        Amendment No. 15 on March 31, 2020, which reflects the responses below.  Capitalized terms not defined herein have the definitions provided to them in the Registration Statement.

      PROSPECTUS

      Summary of Terms (pages
        1-13)

                1.

                  Comment: Please include additional
                    disclosure regarding LIBOR risk.  In particular, please describe the risks for instruments that pay interest at floating rates based on LIBOR with documents that do not include fallback provisions. Please describe how the transition to
                    a successor rate could affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments that reference LIBOR.  Please consider updating the disclosure to address LIBOR’s potential replacement rates, such as “SOFR.”

      Response:
        The Fund will revise the disclosure to read:

      LIBOR
          Risk. Instruments in which the Fund invests may pay interest at floating rates based on LIBOR or may be subject to interest caps or floors based on LIBOR. The Fund and issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may also obtain
        financing at floating rates based on LIBOR. Derivative instruments utilized by the Fund and/or issuers of instruments in which the Fund may invest may also reference LIBOR. The Fund also may utilize leverage or borrowings primarily based on LIBOR.
        In July 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority announced the desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There is currently no definitive information regarding the future utilization of LIBOR or of any
        particular replacement rate. Abandonment of or modifications to LIBOR may affect the value, liquidity or return on certain Fund investments that reference LIBOR without including fallback provisions and may result in costs incurred in connection
        with closing out positions and entering into new trades. Any pricing adjustments to the Fund’s investments resulting from a substitute reference rate may also adversely affect the Fund’s performance and/or NAV.

                3.

                  Comment: The Staff is aware of
                    rating agency and financial media reports that traditional lender protections are being eroded and so-called “covenant-lite” loans are becoming increasingly common.  If the Fund invests in, or intends to invest in, such loans, please
                    describe the loans and the extent to which the Fund invests in, or intends to invest in, such loans and include appropriate risk disclosure.

      Response:
        The Fund does not invest in or intend to invest in “covenant-lite” loans.

      Types of Investments and Related Risks
        (pages 21-40)

                4.

                  Comment: In the LIBOR risk
                    disclosure, please describe the risks for instruments that pay interest at floating rates based on LIBOR that have documents that do not include fallback provisions. Please describe how transitions to a successor rate could affect the
                    value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments that reference LIBOR.

      Response:
        The Fund will revise the disclosure to read:

      LIBOR Risk. Instruments in which the Fund invests may pay interest at floating rates based on LIBOR or may be subject to interest caps or floors based on LIBOR. The Fund and issuers of instruments in which the Fund
        invests may also obtain financing at floating rates based on LIBOR. Derivative instruments utilized by the Fund and/or issuers of instruments in which the Fund may invest may also reference LIBOR. The Fund also may utilize leverage or borrowings
        primarily based on LIBOR. Regulators and law-enforcement agencies from a number of governments, including entities in the United States, Japan, Canada and the United Kingdom, have conducted or are conducting civil and criminal investigations into
        whether the banks that contributed to the British Bankers’ Association, or the “BBA,” in connection with the calculation of daily LIBOR may have been manipulating or attempting to manipulate LIBOR. Several financial institutions have reached
        settlements with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), the U.S. Department of Justice Fraud Section and the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority in connection with investigations by such authorities into submissions made by such
        financial institutions to the bodies that set LIBOR and other interbank offered rates. Additional investigations remain ongoing with respect to other major banks. There can be no assurance that there will not be additional admissions or findings of
        rate-setting manipulation or that manipulations of LIBOR or other similar interbank offered rates will not be shown to have occurred. ICE Benchmark Administration Limited assumed the role of LIBOR administrator from the BBA on February 1, 2014. Any
        new administrator of LIBOR may make methodological changes to the way in which LIBOR is calculated or may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of LIBOR.

        2

      In July 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority announced the desire to
        phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There is currently no definitive information regarding the future utilization of LIBOR or of any particular replacement rate. Abandonment of or modifications to LIBOR may affect the value, liquidity or
        return on certain Fund investments that reference LIBOR without including fallback provisions and may result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. Any pricing adjustments to the Fund’s investments
        resulting from a substitute reference rate may also adversely affect the Fund’s performance and/or NAV. The effect of a phase out of LIBOR on instruments in which the Fund may invest is currently unclear. While some instruments may contemplate a
        scenario where LIBOR is no longer available by providing for an alternative rate setting methodology, not all instruments may have such provisions, and there is significant uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of any such alternative
        methodologies. To the extent that any replacement rate utilized for securities differs from that utilized for a Structured Product that holds those securities, the Structured Product would experience an interest rate mismatch between its assets and
        liabilities. Structured Products generally contemplate a scenario where LIBOR is no longer available by requiring the Structured Product’s administrator to calculate a replacement rate primarily through dealer polling on the applicable measurement
        date. However, there is uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of the dealer polling processes, including the willingness of banks to provide such quotations. Recently, some Structured Products have included, or have been amended to include,
        language permitting the Structured Product’s investment manager to implement a market replacement rate upon the occurrence of certain material disruption events. However, not all Structured Products may adopt such provisions, nor can there be any
        assurance that Structured Products’ investment managers will undertake the suggested amendments when able. Abandonment of or modifications to LIBOR could lead to significant short-term and long-term uncertainty and market instability. It remains
        uncertain how such changes would be implemented and the effects such changes would have on the Fund, issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests and financial markets generally.

                6.

                  Comment: Given the voluntary and
                    automatic conversion of Class U shares of the Fund to Class A shares of the Fund, please include disclosure regarding Class A shares per Item 12(c)(3) of Form N-1A.

      Response:
        The Fund has added the following disclosure:

      Class A Shares

      Class A shares, which are offered through another
          prospectus, are available through registered broker-dealers, banks, advisers and other financial institutions. Class A shares of the Fund are purchased at net asset value, plus an initial sales charge and subject to 12b-1 fees. There is no
          initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of $1 million or more; however, a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of up to 1.00% may be imposed if such Class A shares are redeemed within eighteen (18) months of their purchase. Class
          A shares are intended for (i) investors who meet the investment minimum for Class A shares, (ii) investors investing through omnibus accounts held by financial intermediaries that charge transaction fees and have entered into arrangements with
          the Fund’s distributor to offer Class A shares and (iii) retirement plans whose sponsors or administrators have entered into arrangements with the Fund’s distributor.

      The minimum initial investment in the Fund is $1,000 for
          all account types for Class A shares. With respect to Class A shares, the Adviser may, in its sole discretion, waive the minimum for accounts participating in an automatic investment program and in certain other circumstances. The Fund may waive
          or lower the Class A shares investment minimum for investors who invest in Class A shares of the Fund through an asset-based fee program made available through a financial intermediary. If your investment is aggregated into an omnibus account
          established by an investment adviser, broker or other financial intermediary, the account minimums apply to the omnibus account, not to your individual investment. The financial intermediary may also impose minimum requirements that are different
          from those set forth in this Prospectus. With respect to Class A shares, if you choose to purchase or redeem shares directly from the Fund, you will not incur charges on redemptions. However, if you purchase or redeem shares through a
          broker-dealer or other financial intermediary, you may be charged a fee by that intermediary.

                7.

                  Comment: In the following
                    disclosure, please clarify whether the distribution/service fee payments made to the intermediary after 13 months are made pursuant to the Fund’s distribution plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act or such payments
                    are in addition to the 0.25% 12b-1 fees for Class U shareholders.

        4

      Starting in the thirteenth month after a purchase, [Name
          of Intermediary] will also receive an annual distribution and/or shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class U shares.

      Response:
        The Fund notes that the above referenced disclosure has been replaced with the following:

      The Authorized Intermediary of record will also receive an annual distribution and/or shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class U shares pursuant to the Plan, calculated and payable monthly.

      The Fund confirms that distribution/service fee payments made to Authorized
          Intermediaries will be made pursuant to the Plan.

                  Comment: Please update the following
                    disclosure to reference the name of the relevant intermediary.

      Purchase through a financial intermediary does not affect
          these eligibility requirements.

      Response:
        The Fund will delete this disclosure.

                9.

                  Comment: Please review the
                    disclosure regarding the minimum initial investment in Class U shares of the Fund.

      Response:
        The Fund has revised the disclosure to read:

      The minimum initial investment in Class U shares of the Fund is $50,000. The Adviser may, in its sole discretion, waive this minimum for accounts participating in an automatic investment program and in certain other circumstances. Your Authorized Intermediary may also impose minimum requirements that are different from those set forth in this Prospectus.

      Response:
