Debt, Loans, Bonds
Description: BGX Blackstone GSO Long Short October 29, 2025
Blackstone GSO Long Short Credit Income Closed Fund (ticker BGX) is a U.S.-based closed-end fund that primarily invests in the bank-loan market, employing a long/short credit strategy to capture yield while managing downside risk.
Recent market data (as of Q3 2024) shows the fund’s weighted-average loan yield hovering around 5.8% and its net asset value (NAV) trading at a modest discount of roughly 2% to market price, reflecting investor caution amid a flattening credit spread curve. The fund’s performance is sensitive to Federal Reserve policy-higher rates tend to compress loan spreads, while a slowdown in loan issuance can tighten liquidity and amplify valuation pressure. Additionally, the broader leveraged loan sector has seen a 12% year-to-date increase in issuance volume, driven by strong corporate refinancing demand and resilient demand for high-yield capital.
For a deeper, data-driven look at BGX’s risk-adjusted returns and sector exposure, the ValueRay platform provides granular analytics that can help you assess whether the fund’s current discount presents a compelling entry point.
