BGX: Not Enough Conviction

Blackstone Long-Short Credit Income's long-short strategy holds less conviction than one might think. Credit spread neutrality and relative value positioning would likely bode well in today's market environment. However, BGX is somewhat restricted by its mandate. Funding rates have impacted its total expense ratio. The OIS curve suggests tapering. However, BGX's asset-level returns may see compression in tandem.

BGX: Not Exploiting Short Opportunities And Likely To Cut Further

BGX offers high income via floating-rate loans and bonds, but its yield lags peers and recent distribution cuts reflect Fed rate policy impacts. Despite its 'long-short' branding, BGX rarely uses short positions, missing opportunities to hedge or profit during bond market declines. The fund's heavy exposure to floating-rate assets makes it vulnerable to further Fed rate cuts, likely pressuring future distributions and share price.

CEF Weekly Review: Fixed Distribution Policies Can Get Unfixed

We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the third week of March and highlight recent market action. Nearly all CEF sectors were up, with MLPs rebounding and loan funds lagging; month-to-date, most sectors remain down due to lower equity prices and wider credit spreads. Invesco credit CEFs VLT and VVR cancelled their fixed managed distribution policies with VVR price falling hard on the news.

Blackstone Long-Short Credit Income Fund: A Hold Amid Rate Cuts

BGX's dual long-short strategy and diversified portfolio make it a reliable income source, despite its slightly lower yield compared to peers. Rate cuts will impact BGX's profitability, but its leverage and spread on loans should mitigate the effects, maintaining stable distributions. Selling BGX shares now is premature; waiting until later in the year when the stock value increases is advisable.

BGX: Distribution Cuts Likely To Continue, Dump This Fund

The Blackstone Long-Short Credit Income Fund offers a 9.57% yield, but this is lower than its peers due to recent distribution cuts. BGX's focus on floating-rate senior loans means it won't benefit from interest rate cuts but will suffer a declining income going forward. The market expects 6 25-basis points of cuts before the end of next year, so we can expect several distribution cuts.
