My Top Pick For 7% Bank Loan Income

Invesco Senior Loan ETF (BKLN) is rated BUY as a core income portfolio holding due to its conservative ratings profile and minimal distressed exposure. BKLN offers liquidity, transparency, and low expense, tracking the 100 largest leveraged loans with a current ~7% yield and only 0.02% in distressed assets. Bank loans provide senior secured, floating-rate income with lower volatility than BDCs, but sector risks—especially software—remain material.

Why BDC Dividend Cuts Aren't The Red Flag Investors Think

The market is signaling distress for BDCs, but the data tells a very different story. Dividend cuts for BDCs aren't what most investors think they are. Rare, well-covered double-digit yields trading at huge discounts to NAV are quietly flashing opportunity signals.

BKLN: Low Carry Perspectives

Invesco Senior Loan ETF (BKLN) offers floating-rate exposure to syndicated corporate loans, with low duration risk and high credit spread sensitivity. I recommend holding BKLN, as recent rate cuts will reduce carry, and credit spreads—currently normal—could widen if employment weakens further. BKLN's 30-day yield is 6.23%, but this will decline as floating coupons reset post-rate cut; portfolio is conservatively positioned versus peers.
