FLBL: Moving This Loan Fund To Hold (Rating Downgrade)
The Franklin Senior Loan ETF has generated a total return of almost 7% since our 'Buy' rating, with a low drawdown, mainly driven by its dividend yield. Despite the high rates environment, the lack of significant defaults has contributed to the smooth performance of the ETF. While historically low, default rates have begun to climb in 2024. This could negatively impact the value of the fund's holdings.

FLBL: The Cycle Shift Doesn't Help
Franklin Senior Loan ETF offers access to floating rate exposure and has an impressive 30-day SEC yield exceeding 8.9%. FLBL has a conservative composition with a focus on the healthcare sector and offers protection against credit risk. FLBL faces competition from other leveraged funds, but its low interest rate risk and below-average expense ratio make it an attractive choice.
