Description: JFR Nuveen Floating Rate Income October 24, 2025
Nuveen Floating Rate Income Closed Fund (NYSE:JFR) is a U.S.-based closed-end fund that invests primarily in senior secured bank loans, positioning it within the “bank loan” style of floating-rate credit.
Key metrics that typically drive performance for a fund like JFR include its weighted-average yield (around 5.8% as of the latest quarter), average loan maturity (approximately 4 years), and credit quality distribution (roughly 85% of assets in investment-grade loans). The fund’s net asset value (NAV) is especially sensitive to Federal Reserve policy, since rising short-term rates tend to boost floating-rate coupon payments, while widening corporate credit spreads can pressure loan prices. Additionally, the ongoing transition away from LIBOR to alternative reference rates adds a layer of operational risk that managers must monitor.
