Answer to: Why would a fund managment "team" create multiple different companies?

In fact the three companies you mention and a couple you do not Eagle Point Institutional Income Fund Eagle Point Credit Company Eagle Point Income Company Eagle Point Enhanced Income Trust Eagle Point Defensive Income Trust are closed-end investment companies with overlapping directors and administration, but with different strategies. They are not ETFs. Many of their quoted securities are in fact preference shares. They are externally managed by Eagle Point Income Management LLC and its affiliate Stone Point Capital LLC, and they benefit from the fees that the investment companies pay. This why why their websites look similar. One reason for having separate companies is that if something goes wrong with one of them (they can use leverage), this does not directly affect the others. It is also means that if there is a shareholder vote in one of them, only the shareholders in that particular company participate.
