Description: BSL Blackstone GSO Senior October 29, 2025
Blackstone GSO Senior Floating Rate Term Closed Fund (NYSE: BSL) is a U.S.-based closed-end fund that invests primarily in senior bank loans. It is structured as a floating-rate vehicle, meaning its coupon resets periodically with benchmark rates (e.g., SOFR), which helps preserve yield in a rising-interest-rate environment.
Key market metrics that typically drive performance for funds like BSL include: (1) the average yield on its loan portfolio, which has hovered around 5.5%-6.0% in 2024; (2) the weighted-average credit rating of its holdings, generally in the “BBB-” to “A-” range, indicating moderate credit risk; and (3) the fund’s sensitivity to the spread between senior loan yields and Treasury rates, a critical barometer of credit market tightness. Additionally, the fund’s assets under management (AUM) have remained relatively stable at roughly $3 billion, reflecting steady investor demand for floating-rate exposure.
