FTSL Factset Analytics Insight
FTSL offers actively managed exposure to senior loans and similar securities primarily, but not exclusively, from North America. Fund documents show a typical profile for a senior loan fund: very low interest-rate risk (from floating-rate debt) and high credit risk (from a near-total allocation to below-investment-grade debt). The fund shows decent liquidity and asset levels. FTSL has become fairly popular with traders, with millions of dollars' worth of shares changing hands most days and small spreads. For larger traders, block liquidity looks challenging in contrast to some peer funds. FTSL charges a high fee, and given its active management there is no index to which it can really be compared, but it's worth noting that it's considerable pricier than peer fund SRLN.
