Description: FRA BlackRock Floating Rate October 25, 2025

BlackRock Floating Rate Income Strategies Closed Fund (NYSE:FRA) is a U.S.-based closed-end fund that invests primarily in senior secured bank loans, positioning itself within the “bank loan” style of floating-rate securities.

Key performance metrics as of the most recent quarter include a 30-day SEC yield of roughly 4.2%, a weighted-average loan spread of about 300 basis points over LIBOR, and a portfolio-wide average credit rating of B+. The fund’s expense ratio sits near 0.80%, and its net asset value (NAV) per share has trended within a 5% band of its market price, indicating modest discount/premium volatility.

The fund’s returns are highly sensitive to Federal Reserve policy because floating-rate loans reset with short-term rates; therefore, the pace of Fed rate hikes or cuts directly influences income generation. Additionally, the health of the leveraged-loan market-driven by corporate issuance volumes and credit-cycle dynamics-acts as a primary sector driver, with energy and industrial borrowers accounting for a sizable share of the portfolio.
