Proxy Statement for the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders
To Be Held on Monday, April 19, 2010

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with a solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund scheduled to be held at the offices of Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"), Eleven Madison Avenue, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10010 on April 19, 2010 (commencing at 3:00 p.m. New York time) and at any adjournments thereof (collectively, the "Meeting"). A Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and a proxy card (the "Proxy") accompany this Proxy Statement.

Proxy solicitations will be made primarily by mail, but solicitations may also be made by telephone or personal interviews conducted by officers or employees of the Fund; Credit Suisse, the investment adviser to the Fund; State Street Bank and Trust Company, the administrator of the Fund (the "Administrator"); or The Altman Group, Inc. ("Altman Group"), a proxy solicitation firm that has been retained by the Fund and will receive a fee not to exceed $500 and be reimbursed for its reasonable expenses. All costs of solicitation, including (a) printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement and accompanying material, (b) the reimbursement of brokerage firms and others for their expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the Fund's shares, (c) payment of Altman Group for its services in soliciting Proxies and (d) supplementary solicitations to submit Proxies, will be borne by the Fund. This Proxy Statement is expected to be mailed to shareholders on or about March 16, 2010.

Each of the Fund and Credit Suisse has its principal executive office at Eleven Madison Avenue, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10010. The Administrator has its principal executive office at One Lincoln Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110.

The Fund's Annual Report containing audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 has previously been furnished to all shareholders of the Fund. It is not to be regarded as proxy-soliciting material.

Only shareholders can attend the Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. To gain admittance, if you are a shareholder of record, you must bring a form of personal identification to the Meeting, where your name will be verified against our shareholder list. If a broker or other nominee holds your shares and you plan to attend the Meeting, you should bring a recent brokerage statement showing your ownership

of the shares, as well as a form of personal identification. Shareholders who wish to vote in person at the Meeting must comply with all applicable conditions.

If the enclosed Proxy is properly executed and returned in time to be voted at the Meeting, the shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the instructions marked on the Proxy. If no instructions are marked on the Proxy, the Proxy will be voted "FOR" the election of the Fund's nominee for Director, and, in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the Proxy on any matters that may properly come before the Meeting and that are deemed appropriate. Any shareholder giving a Proxy has the power to revoke it by mail (addressed to the Secretary of the Fund, c/o Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10010) or in person at the Meeting by executing a superseding Proxy or by submitting a notice of revocation.

A quorum of shareholders is constituted by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting, the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy will have the power to adjourn the Meeting, without notice other than an announcement at the Meeting, until the requisite number of shares entitled to vote at the Meeting is present. In the event that a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to approve any of the proposals are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of Proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund's shares represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy, and the persons named as proxies will vote those Proxies that they are entitled to vote "FOR" any proposal in favor of such adjournment and will vote those proxies required to be voted "AGAINST" any proposal against any such adjournment. Absent the establishment of a subsequent record date and the giving of notice to the holders of record thereon, the adjourned Meeting must take place not more than 120 days after the record date. At such adjourned Meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original Meeting. If a quorum is present, a shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals properly brought before the Meeting prior to any adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.

For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting, abstentions and broker "non-votes" (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present but which have not been voted. Accordingly, shareholders are urged to forward their voting instructions promptly.

The election of a Director will require that the candidate receive a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting in person or by proxy. Because abstentions and broker non-votes are not treated as shares voted, any abstentions and broker non-votes would have no impact on the election.

Credit Suisse and its affiliates have advised the Fund that they intend to vote the shares over which they have voting power at the Meeting, including shares that are held directly or on behalf of employees, in the manner instructed by the customers or employees for which such shares are held.

The Fund has one class of shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"). On the record date, March 9, 2010, there were 49,951,533 Shares outstanding. Each Share is entitled to one vote at the Meeting, and fractional Shares are entitled to a proportionate share of one vote.

In order that your Shares may be represented at the Meeting, you are requested to:

—indicate your instructions on the Proxy;

—date and sign the Proxy;

—mail the Proxy promptly in the enclosed envelope; and

—allow sufficient time for the Proxy to be received and processed on or before 3:00 p.m. on April 19, 2010.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund to Be Held on April 19, 2010. The Proxy Statement and the Fund's most recent annual report are available on the Internet at www.credit-suisse.com/us.

Qualification of Board of Directors

The Board believes that each Director's experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Directors lead to the conclusion that each Director should serve in such capacity. Among the attributes common to all Directors are their ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the other Directors, Credit Suisse, other service providers, counsel and the independent registered public accounting firm, and to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties as Directors. A Director's ability to perform his or her duties effectively may have been attained through the Director's business, consulting, public service and/or academic positions; experience from service as a board member of the Fund and the other funds in the Fund Complex, other investment funds, public companies, or non-profit entities or other organizations; educational background or professional training; and/or other life experiences. In addition to these shared characteristics, set forth below is a brief discussion of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills of each Director that support the conclusion that each person should serve as a Director.

Enrique R. Arzac. Mr. Arzac has been a Director since 1990, Chairman of the Board of Directors since 2005, and Chairman of the Nominating Committee since 2003. In addition, he has over 30 years of business and consulting experience in the areas of finance, trade and economics and academic experience as a professor of finance and economics. Mr. Arzac also currently serves on the boards of directors of other funds, including funds in the Fund Complex, and on the board of directors of an investment management and investment advisory services company.

Terry F. Bovarnick. Ms. Bovarnick has been a Director since 2006. In addition, she has over 30 years of executive and business experience in the investment industry. Ms. Bovarnick also serves on the board of directors of another closed-end fund in the Fund Complex.

James J. Cattano. Mr. Cattano has been a Director since 2006, and Chairman of the Audit Committee since 2009. In addition, he has over 40 years of executive and business and academic experience in the international trading and manufacturing industry. Mr. Cattano also currently serves on the boards of directors of other closed-end funds, including a closed-end fund in the Fund Complex.

Lawrence J. Fox. Mr. Fox has been a Director since 1990. In addition, he has close to 40 years of experience as an attorney. Mr. Fox also currently serves on the boards of directors of other closed-end funds, including a closed-end fund in the Fund Complex.

Steven N. Rappaport. Mr. Rappaport has been a Director since 2005. In addition, he has over 40 years of business experience in the financial services industry. Mr. Rappaport also serves on the boards of directors of other funds, including funds in the Fund Complex.

Specific details regarding each Director's principal occupations during the past five years are included in the table above.

⁽¹⁾ This information has been furnished by each Director as of December 31, 2009. "Beneficial Ownership" is determined in accordance with Rule 16a-1(a)(2) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act").

⁽²⁾ The Fund's Directors and officers, in the aggregate, own less than 1% of the Fund's outstanding equity securities.

⁽³⁾ "Credit Suisse Family of Investment Companies" means those registered investment companies that share Credit Suisse as their investment adviser and that hold themselves out to investors as related companies for purposes of investment and investor services.

As of December 31, 2009, none of the non-interested nominees for election to the Board, the other non-interested Directors or their immediate family members owned beneficially or of record any class of securities in Credit Suisse or in a person (other than a registered investment company) directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with Credit Suisse.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, each Director who was not a director, officer, partner, co-partner or employee of Credit Suisse, the Administrator or any affiliate thereof, received an annual fee of $14,300 and $1,000 for each meeting of the Board attended by him/her and was reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with his/her attendance at the Fund's Board meetings. The total remuneration paid or accrued by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 to all such unaffiliated Directors was $102,498. The Independent Chairman receives an additional annual fee of $5,000 and the Audit Committee Chairman receives an additional annual fee of $2,000. The Directors have approved a compensation plan that permits each Director entitled to receive a fee from the Fund to elect to receive up to one hundred percent of his or her annual fee in the form of Fund shares issued by the Fund.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Board convened eight times. Each Director attended at least seventy-five percent of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and any committees on which he or she served during the period for which he or she was a Director.

Leadership Structure and Oversight Responsibilities

Overall responsibility for oversight of the Fund rests with the Board. The Fund has engaged Credit Suisse to manage the Fund on a day-to day basis. The Board is responsible for overseeing Credit Suisse and other service providers in the operations of the Fund in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, applicable provisions of state and other laws and the Fund's charter. The Board is currently composed of five members, each of whom is an Independent Director. The Board meets in-person at regularly scheduled quarterly meetings each year. In addition, the Board may hold special in-person or telephonic meetings or informal conference calls to discuss specific matters that may arise or require action between regular meetings. As described below, the Board has established a Nominating Committee and an Audit Committee, and may establish ad hoc committees or working groups from time to time, to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Independent Directors have also engaged independent legal counsel to assist them in performing their oversight responsibilities.

The Board has appointed Enrique Arzac, an Independent Director, to serve in the role of Chairman. The Chairman's role is to preside at all meetings of the Board and to act as a liaison with Credit Suisse, other service providers, counsel and other Directors generally between meetings. The Chairman serves as a key point person for dealings between management and the Directors. The Chairman may also perform such other functions as may be delegated by the Board from time to time. The Board reviews matters related to its leadership structure annually. The Board has determined that the Board's leadership structure is appropriate because it allows the Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over the matters under its purview and it allocates areas of responsibility among committees of Directors and the full Board in a manner that enhances effective oversight.

The Fund is subject to a number of risks, including investment, compliance, operational and valuation risks, among others. Risk oversight forms part of the Board's general oversight of the Fund and is addressed as part of various Board and committee

activities. Day-to-day risk management functions are subsumed within the responsibilities of Credit Suisse and other service providers (depending on the nature of the risk), which carry out the Fund's investment management and business affairs. Credit Suisse and other service providers employ a variety of processes, procedures and controls to identify various events or circumstances that give rise to risks, to lessen the probability of their occurrence and/or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur. Each of Credit Suisse and other service providers have their own independent interest in risk management, and their policies and methods of risk management will depend on their functions and business models. The Board recognizes that it is not possible to identify all of the risks that may affect the Fund or to develop processes and controls to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. As part of its regular oversight of the Fund, the Board interacts with and reviews reports from, among others, Credit Suisse, the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm and counsel, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Fund and applicable risk controls. The Board may, at any time and in its discretion, change the manner in which it conducts risk oversight.

Messrs. Arzac, Cattano and Rappaport and Ms. Bovarnick constitute the Fund's Audit Committee, which is composed of Directors who are not interested persons of the Fund and who are independent (as such term is defined by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange Amex ("NYSE Amex")). The Audit Committee convened three times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Audit Committee advises the full Board with respect to accounting, auditing and financial matters affecting the Fund.

All of the Directors constitute the Fund's Nominating Committee, which is composed of Directors who are non-interested Directors of the Fund (as such term is defined by the NYSE Amex's listing standards). The Nominating Committee met three times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. At a meeting of the Nominating Committee held on February 16, 2010, the Nominating Committee (with the nominees abstaining from voting) determined to recommend to the full Board the nomination of Mr. Arzac and Ms. Bovarnick each for a three-year term. The Nominating Committee selects and recommends to the full Board candidates for nomination as Directors. The Board has adopted a Nominating Committee Charter (a copy of which is included as Appendix A). In nominating candidates, the Committee shall take into consideration such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include judgment, skill, diversity, experience with investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity, size and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight, the interplay of the candidate's experience with the experience of other Board members, and the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees thereof. With respect to diversity, the Nominating Committee considers whether a candidate's background, experience and skills will contribute to the diversity of the Board.

The Nominating Committee will consider candidates submitted by shareholders or from other sources it deems appropriate. Any recommendation should be submitted to the Secretary of the Fund, c/o Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10010. Any submission should

include at a minimum the following information: As to each individual proposed for election or re-election as Director, the name, age, business address, residence address and principal occupation or employment of such individual, the class, series and number of shares of stock of the Fund that are beneficially owned by such individual, the date such shares were acquired and the investment intent of such acquisition, whether such stockholder believes such individual is, or is not, an "interested person" of the Fund (as defined in the 1940 Act), and information regarding such individual that is sufficient, in the discretion of the Nominating Committee, to make such determination, and all other information relating to such individual that is required to be disclosed in solicitation of proxies for election of Directors in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved) or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A (or any successor provision) under the 1934 Act, and the rules thereunder (including such individual's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director (if elected)). In the case of any Fund holding a meeting of shareholders, any such submission, in order to be considered for inclusion in the Fund's proxy statement, should be submitted by a date not later than the 120th calendar day before the date the Fund's proxy statement was released to security holders in connection with the Fund's previous year's annual meeting or, if the Fund has changed the meeting date by more than 30 days or if no meeting was held the previous year, within a reasonable time before the Fund begins to print and mail its proxy statement. Any such submission must also be submitted by such date and contain such information as may be specified in the Fund's By-laws, or as required by any relevant stock exchange listing standards.

The Fund does not have a Compensation Committee.

OTHER BOARD-RELATED MATTERS

Shareholders who wish to send communications to the Board should send them to the address of the Fund and to the attention of the Secretary of the Fund. All such communications will be directed to the Board's attention.

The Fund does not have a formal policy regarding Board member attendance at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter adopted by the Board (a copy of which is included as Appendix B), the Audit Committee is responsible for conferring with the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing annual financial statements, approving the selection of the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm and overseeing the Fund's internal controls. The Fund's Audit Committee charter also contains provisions relating to the pre-approval by the Audit Committee of certain non-audit services to be provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") to the Fund and to Credit Suisse and certain of its affiliates. The Audit Committee advises the full Board with respect to accounting, auditing and financial matters affecting the Fund. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for planning and

carrying out audits in accordance with standards established by the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

The Audit Committee has met with the Fund's management to discuss, among other things, the Fund's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Audit Committee has also met with the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, PwC, and discussed with it certain matters required by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, Communications with Audit Committees, as currently modified or supplemented, including, but not limited to, the scope of the Fund's audit, the Fund's financial statements and the Fund's accounting controls. The Audit Committee has received from PwC the letter required by the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") independence rules describing any relationships between it and the Fund, Credit Suisse and its affiliates that may be thought to bear upon the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has discussed with PwC its independence and has considered whether the provision of services by PwC to the Fund, Credit Suisse and its affiliates was compatible with maintaining PwC's independence.

The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not employed by the Fund for accounting, financial management or internal control. Moreover, the Audit Committee relies on and makes no independent verification of the facts presented to it or representations made by management or the independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the Audit Committee's oversight does not provide an independent basis for determining that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies, or internal controls and procedures, designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee's considerations and discussions referred to above do not provide assurance that the audit of the Fund's financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Based upon these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Fund's audited financial statements be included in the Fund's 2009 Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and be mailed to shareholders and filed with the SEC.

Further, the shareholder must continue to hold such Shares through the date on which the meeting is held. Documentary support regarding the foregoing must be provided along with the proposal. There are additional requirements regarding proposals of shareholders, and a shareholder contemplating submission of a proposal is referred to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the 1934 Act. The timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee its inclusion in the Fund's proxy materials.

Pursuant to the By-laws of the Fund, at any annual meeting of the shareholders, only such business will be conducted as has been properly brought before the annual meeting. To be properly brought before the annual meeting, the business must be (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder.

desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Fund's books, of the shareholder proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the capital stock of the Fund which are beneficially owned by the shareholder, (iv) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of shares of the Fund entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to present such business, (v) whether the shareholder intends or is part of a group which intends to solicit proxies from other shareholders in support of such business and (vi) any material interest of the shareholder in such business.

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

This document serves as the Charter for the Audit Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board") of each fund (the "Fund") advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse") listed on Appendix A hereto (each such Charter being a separate Charter).

Purpose

The primary purposes of the Committee are to:

• assist Board oversight of

1. the integrity of the Fund's financial statements

2. the independent auditor's qualifications and independence

3. the performance of the Fund's independent auditors

4. the Fund's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements

• prepare an audit committee report, if required by the SEC, to be included in the Fund's annual proxy statement, if any;

• oversee the scope of the annual audit of the Fund's financial statements, the quality and objectivity of the Fund's financial statements, the Fund's accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and its internal controls relating thereto;

• determine the selection, appointment, retention and termination of the Fund's independent auditors, as well as approving the compensation of the auditors;

• pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided to the Fund and certain other persons (as described in 2(b) below) by such independent auditors; and

• act as a liaison between the Fund's independent auditors and the Board.

The Fund's independent auditors shall report directly to the Committee.

The primary function of the Committee is oversight. The Fund's management is responsible for (i) the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Fund's financial statements, (ii) the maintenance of appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies and (iii) the maintenance of internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations.

The independent auditors are responsible for planning and carrying out proper audits and reviews in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.

In fulfilling their responsibilities hereunder, it is recognized that members of the Committee are not full-time employees of the Fund. As such, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Committee or its members to conduct "field work" or other

B-1

types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures or to set auditor independence standards. Each member of the Committee shall be entitled to rely on (i) the integrity of those persons and organizations within and outside the Fund from which it receives information, (ii) the accuracy of the financial and other information provided to the Committee by such persons and organizations absent actual knowledge to the contrary (which shall be promptly reported to the Fund's Board) and (iii) statements made by the officers and employees of the Fund, Credit Suisse or other third parties as to any information technology, internal audit and other non-audit services provided by the independent auditors to the Fund. In addition, the evaluation of the Fund's financial statements by the Committee is not of the same scope as, and does not involve the extent of detail as, audits performed by the independent auditors, nor does the Committee's evaluation substitute for the responsibilities of the Fund's management for preparing, or the independent auditors for auditing, the financial statements.

Composition and Qualifications

(a) The Committee shall consist of at least three Board members none of whom is an "interested person," as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Independent Board Members"), each of whom shall be financially literate and able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Fund's balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement, and at least one of whom shall have accounting or related financial management expertise as determined by the Fund's Board in its business judgment. Each member of the Committee must also meet the New York Stock Exchange's independence requirements for audit committee members of listed companies and the independence requirements applicable to investment companies set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). If one or more members of the Committee qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" ("ACFE"), within the meaning of the rules adopted and implemented under Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, at least one such member shall be designated as the Committee's ACFE. The Committee shall elect a chairperson, who shall preside over Committee meetings (the "Chairperson"). The Chairperson shall serve as such until his successor is selected by the Committee.

The designation of a person as an ACFE shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on that person than the responsibility and liability imposed on such person as a member of the Committee, nor does it decrease the duties and obligations of other Committee members or the Board.

(b) With respect to any subsequent changes to the composition of the Committee, and otherwise approximately once each year, the Board of Directors shall determine:

(i) that each member of the Audit Committee is "independent" pursuant to the governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") or applicable law or, in the case of a Fund whose securities are listed on the NYSE

B-2

Amex (formerly known as American Stock Exchange) ("NYSE Amex"), pursuant to the governance standards of the NYSE Amex;

(ii) that each Audit Committee member is financially literate and able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Fund's balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement;

(iii) that at least one of the Committee members has accounting or related financial management expertise and, for a Fund whose securities are listed on the NYSE Amex, is "financially sophisticated" pursuant to NYSE Amex rules; and

(iv) the adequacy of the Charter.

Duties and Powers

1. To carry out its purposes, the Committee shall have the following duties and powers to be exercised at such times and in such manner as the Committee shall deem necessary or appropriate: (a) to determine, and recommend to the Independent Board Members for their ratification and approval, the selection, appointment, compensation, retention and termination of the Fund's independent auditors (or any other public accounting firm engaged for the purposes of performing other audit, review or attest services for the Fund);

(b) to resolve any disagreements between management and the independent auditors regarding financial reporting and to evaluate and accept the determination of independence made by the independent auditors;
