Description: FRA BlackRock Floating Rate December 28, 2025

BlackRock Floating Rate Income Strategies Closed Fund (NYSE: FRA) is a U.S.-based closed-end fund that invests primarily in bank-loan assets, offering investors exposure to floating-rate debt that typically benefits from rising short-term interest rates.

Key metrics (as of the most recent quarterly report) include an average weighted yield of roughly 5.3%, a portfolio duration of about 1.2 years, and a credit quality distribution weighted toward BB-BBB ratings, reflecting a focus on senior secured loans. The fund’s performance is closely tied to Federal Reserve policy cycles, with higher Fed rates generally boosting the fund’s income while also increasing credit-spread volatility in the leveraged loan market.
