BGB: Discount Widens On Term Fund With Institutional CEF Investor Taking A Stake

Blackstone Strategic Credit 2027 Term offers a widened discount exceeding 5.5%, now above our "Buy" threshold, prompting an upgrade. BGB's term structure and anticipated 2027 liquidation create a tactical opportunity, with a recent investment from a large institutional CEF investment group.

CEF Market Weekly Review: Aberdeen Proposes Removing Fund Term Structure

Aberdeen infrastructure CEF ASGI proposes removing its 2035 term structure, a move that is detrimental to shareholder interests and alpha opportunities. Loan CEFs have cheapened as anticipated, following distribution cuts following Fed policy rate expectations. CLO Equity CEFs like OCCI, CCIF, EARN, and SPMC reported significant February NAV declines, raising leverage, leading to potential forced asset sales in a fragile sector.

BGB: Discount Worth Watching With Term Approaching

Blackstone Strategic Credit 2027 Term Fund offers a term structure with potential liquidation in September 2027, currently trading at a -4.87% discount. BGB's discount has widened recently due to credit events like First Brands' bankruptcy, but overall exposure to such events remains minimal due to strong diversification. Distribution yield is 7.86%, but payouts are likely to decrease as the Fed cuts rates, while reducing borrowing costs, but the reduction is offset by lower underlying yields.

BGB's Biggest Risk Is A Pivot In Rate Policy

BGB offers an 8.58% yield via a diversified portfolio of senior secured, mostly floating-rate loans, amplified by significant leverage. The fund's floating-rate focus benefits from stable or rising rates, but faces cash flow risk if rates decline, especially with potential 2025 rate cuts. BGB underperforms peers like DSU on long-term returns and charges higher fees, while employing higher leverage, increasing risk during economic stress.
