Description: FCT First Trust Senior Floating October 26, 2025

First Trust Senior Floating Rate Income Fund II (NYSE: FCT) is a U.S.-based closed-end fund that invests primarily in senior floating-rate bank loans, offering investors exposure to short-duration, floating-rate credit assets.

Key metrics to watch include its 30-day SEC yield of roughly 5.2% (as of the latest filing), an average portfolio weighted-average loan maturity of 2.8 years, and a credit quality distribution tilted toward BB- and BBB-rated issuers. The fund’s performance is closely tied to the Federal Reserve’s policy rate trajectory, as higher rates boost floating-rate coupon payments, while widening spreads in a tightening credit cycle can pressure asset values.
