BGT: The Golden Era For Floating Rate Funds Have Passed

  • BGT offers high monthly income (11.5% yield) from floating rate loans, benefiting from the current high interest rate environment. The fund's heavy exposure to below-investment-grade borrowers increases risk, especially if defaults rise amid economic slowdown or trade disruptions. BGT trades at a slight premium to NAV, but historically has traded at a discount; future rate cuts could pressure both NAV and distributions.
