Established and managed by BlackRock Advisors, the trust provides investors with exposure to senior secured loans, high-yield corporate debt, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and other floating rate credit products. By focusing on floating rate securities, the fund aims to offer protection against rising interest rates while pursuing consistent income generation. The trust’s portfolio is constructed through an active, research-driven process led by a team of credit specialists within BlackRock’s Global Credit platform. Investments include first-lien senior loans, second-lien and mezzanine debt, structured credit tranches and other floating rate instruments. While the core emphasis is on U.S. issuers, the fund selectively allocates to European and other developed-market credits when attractive risk-return opportunities arise. Risk management at both the security and portfolio levels seeks to balance income objectives with preservation of capital. BlackRock Floating Rate Income Trust is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BGT and serves institutional and individual investors who prioritize current income and floating rate exposure in a low-duration format. The trust leverages BlackRock’s global research capabilities and risk analytics, drawing on the firm’s broader credit, portfolio construction and trading resources. Investors benefit from daily liquidity, weekly liquidity on NAV and the potential for diversification within a broader fixed-income allocation.AI Generated. May Contain Errors.
