The Blackstone Senior Floating Rate 2027 Term Fund's trailing yield is about 300 - 350 basis points higher than the U.S. 10-year. BSL CEF is approaching its maturity date, providing hold-to-maturity participants an opportunity to capture yields and avoid probabilistic default risks. The Phillips Curve suggests Fed targets will likely remain steady for the time being. However, the market rates environment could price lower against the backdrop of a weak demand-side.

Invesco credit CEFs VLT and VVR cancelled their fixed managed distribution policies with VVR price falling hard on the news.
