BGT: Little Chance Of Outsized Returns, But Risks Are Manageable

BlackRock Floating Rate Income Trust is evaluated as a current investment option focusing on high current income via senior secured floating rate loans. BGT's performance has been reasonable since late 2023, but it has lagged equities and performed in line with other high-yield debt funds. The fund's discounted market price remains a positive attribute for valuation-focused investors seeking income in the current environment. But defaults and distressed debt levels have me concerned.
