BGX: A Good Way To Earn A 10% Yield Regardless Of When The Fed Cuts

Blackstone Long-Short Credit Income offers income-focused investors the ability to boost returns by shorting assets, unique among closed-end funds. The current yield of 10.03% may not be as attractive as other similar funds with higher yields, but it is still better than many other options. The BGX closed-end fund's leverage ratio of 31.83% is reasonable compared to peers, although it is very slightly higher than the last time that we discussed it.
