The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its total assets to the components of the Morningstar index, which is compiled, maintained, and calculated by Morningstar, Inc. This index emphasizes market value-weighted performance, providing exposure to senior loans that are typically secured and have a higher position in the capital structure, offering a measure of protection against defaults.

The ETF is structured to deliver diversification benefits and regular income, making it a popular choice for income-focused investors.

The 200-period SMA of 20.34 indicates a long-term uptrend, though the recent price action shows consolidation. The average true range (ATR) of 0.13 reflects low volatility, suggesting a stable trading environment. The funds assets under management (AUM) of $6.127 billion highlight its popularity and liquidity in the market. BKLNs focus on senior loans, which are typically secured by collateral and have a higher recovery rate in the event of default, makes it an attractive option for investors seeking exposure to the leveraged loan market without directly holding individual loans.
