SNLN tracks an index comprised of 100 senior loans with at least one year remaining in maturity. Loans are selected by liquidity and weighted by market value.
SNLN Factset Analytics Insight
SNLN delivers exposure to approximately 100 most liquid senior loans—floating-rate, high-yield senior debt issued by banks to companies. SNLN’s loans pass a screen for $500M in par amount outstanding and a spread over LIBOR of over 125 bps. The index imposes very robust liquidity selection criteria to identify the top 100 most liquid senior loans. While the floating-rate feature reduces sensitivity to interest rates, SNLN carries significant credit risk in that the portfolio is below investment grade and can include loans from insolvent issuers. Also, a spike in interest rates will make it harder for issuers to service their debt, a consideration that applies across the board in this space. The fund charges a low expense ratio in context. The robust liquidity selection criteria in SNLN’s underlying index should help with SNLN’s underlying liquidity. However, underlying liquidity—for all bank loan funds—remains a concern for larger investors and during market sell-offs. Institutions should reach out to market makers to assist with block trades and expect to be charged a premium for the service.
