Description: BSL Blackstone GSO Senior January 01, 2026
Blackstone GSO Senior Floating Rate Term Closed Fund (NYSE: BSL) is a U.S.-based closed-end fund that invests primarily in senior bank loans with floating-rate structures, positioning it to benefit from rising interest rates while offering investors exposure to the leveraged loan market.
Key industry metrics that influence BSL’s performance include the average spread over LIBOR for senior loans (currently around 350 bps), the U.S. leveraged loan issuance volume (≈ $150 bn in Q4 2023), and the credit quality distribution, with roughly 70 % of assets rated BBB- or higher. Macro-driven factors such as Federal Reserve policy tightening and corporate refinancing demand are primary drivers of loan pricing and default rates.
