Description: DSU BlackRock Debt Strategies October 24, 2025

BlackRock Debt Strategies Closed Fund (NYSE: DSU) is a U.S.-based closed-end fund that focuses on the bank-loan market, investing primarily in senior secured floating-rate loans.

Key additional data points: the fund currently manages roughly $1.2 billion in assets, delivers an annualized distribution yield near 7.5 % (as of the latest quarter), and maintains an average portfolio duration of about 2.3 years, making it relatively sensitive to short-term interest-rate moves. Its loan exposure is weighted toward the industrial and consumer sectors, which have shown resilience amid the latest cycle of corporate refinancing activity.

Given the fund’s floating-rate structure, its performance is closely tied to the Federal Reserve’s policy path and the health of the leveraged-loan market, both of which are being closely watched by credit analysts.
