BGT - BGT: Value Re-Appears In This Floating Rate CEF
- Floating rate loans and bonds are a reasonable option when deciding how to play an inflationary or rising interest rate environment.
- Despite this traditional wisdom, funds that hold these loans like BGT have seen poor performance in 2022.
- The reasons are multi-fold. The underlying companies are in the high yield sector, amplifying credit risk. BGT is also leveraged, which has investors on edge.
- While credit risk is an issue in an increasingly volatile market, I believe BGT offers some value here. The discount to NAV is nearing 10%, and coverage ratios within this corner of the market are strong.
