Our Global Senior Loan strategy provides diversified exposure to senior secured loans across multiple regions, with flexibility to allocate capital to the markets and sectors offering the most attractive risk-adjusted opportunities. The strategy is designed to give investors a single-entry point into a global floating-rate loan universe, providing income generation, downside protection via senior secured positioning, and low correlation with traditional fixed-income markets.

The investment approach combines deep expertise in U.S. and European loan markets, disciplined bottom-up credit selection, and a macro-overlay to adjust exposures as conditions evolve. Portfolios benefit from one of the larger global credit research platforms, which supports sourcing, due diligence, and ongoing monitoring. The strategy also leverages insights from adjacent BSP capabilities in structured credit, direct lending, and special situations to inform sector views and risk assessments. For clients, the ability to rotate across regions, combined with a focus on capital preservation and income, aims to deliver a diversified, risk-controlled global loan allocation.

Our U.S. Senior Loan strategy invests in a diversified portfolio of senior secured, floating-rate loans and related instruments issued by U.S. corporate borrowers. The strategy is designed to address investors’ need for income and protection against rising interest rates by providing exposure to assets that sit at the top of the borrower capital structure, are secured by collateral, and reset coupons as rates move.

We apply a value-oriented investment process grounded in bottom-up fundamental analysis, using a macro framework to manage sector, factor, liquidity risks and active risk management. The platform has a multi-year track record of managing U.S. loan portfolios with a focus on low realized default rates and active management of tail risk. Access to a large research team and BSP’s broader sub-investment-grade credit platform supports differentiated sourcing and credit insight. For investors, the combination of senior secured positioning, floating-rate income, and diversified exposure aims to provide a defensive yet return-seeking allocation within fixed income.

Our European Senior Loan strategies invest in diversified portfolios of senior secured, floating-rate loans to European corporate borrowers. The strategies are intended to provide investors with income generation, capital preservation through collateral and priority ranking, and reduced sensitivity to interest-rate changes.

We employ a disciplined investment process that emphasizes fundamental credit analysis, portfolio and credit monitoring, as well as active risk management. The platform benefits from a long history in European loans, supported by one of the largest global research teams and integrated capabilities across related credit strategies. This supports sourcing, structuring, and risk assessment across sectors and jurisdictions. For clients, the strategies aim to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns and diversification benefits versus other fixed-income allocations, using scale and market relationships to access a broad opportunity set while maintaining a focus on credit quality and downside risk.
