Description: BXSL Blackstone Secured Lending January 07, 2026

Blackstone Secured Lending Fund (BXSL) operates as a Delaware statutory trust and a Business Development Company (BDC) under the 1940 Act, electing Regulated Investment Company (RIC) tax status to pass income through to shareholders.

The fund’s primary goal is to generate current income, with secondary emphasis on long-term capital appreciation, by originating first-lien senior secured and unitranche loans to U.S. small- and middle-market companies, while also holding a smaller allocation to lower-ranking debt and equity securities.

Key operational metrics (as of the most recent filing) include an assets-under-management (AUM) base of roughly $2.5 billion, a distribution yield near 7.5 %, and a leverage ratio of about 1.4×, reflecting a moderate use of debt to enhance returns.

Sector-wide, BDC performance is closely tied to the U.S. credit cycle and interest-rate environment; a flattening yield curve and tightening spreads can compress loan pricing, while a resilient middle-market economy supports loan demand and credit quality.

For a deeper quantitative view, the ValueRay platform offers granular metrics on BXSL’s credit exposure and yield profile.
