About BKLN

Seeks to track, before fees and expenses, an index of the 100 largest institutional leveraged loans.

Income: Interest from senior loans

Underlying: Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan 100 Index
Inception: Mar 3, 2011
Payout: monthly

How BKLN Earns Floating-Rate Income

The Invesco Senior Loan ETF (BKLN) seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan 100 Index. That index tracks the market value weighted performance of the 100 largest institutional leveraged loans based on market weightings, spreads and interest payments. BKLN generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in the components of the index.¹

BKLN will invest in loans that are expected to be below investment grade quality and to bear interest at a floating rate that periodically resets. The interest paid on them adjusts periodically based on changes in widely accepted reference rates.¹

The adviser and sub-adviser define senior loans to include loans referred to as leveraged loans, bank loans and/or floating rate loans. Banks and other lending institutions generally issue them to corporations, partnerships or other entities, and they often are issued in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts and re-financings.¹

BKLN's Index Rules and Loan Purchases

To be included in the index, a leveraged loan must be senior secured, denominated in U.S. dollars and must have a minimum initial term of one year and a minimum initial issue size of $50 million. The index may include, and BKLN may acquire and retain, loans of borrowers that are in default.¹

BKLN does not purchase all of the securities in the index. It uses a "sampling" methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective, and the prospectus warns that this may result in it holding a smaller number of securities than are in the index.¹

Senior loans typically are structured and administered by a financial institution that acts as agent for the lenders in the lending group. BKLN generally will purchase loans from banks or other financial institutions, and it may acquire a direct interest in a loan by assignment from the agent or another lender, or an indirect interest as a participation in another lender's portion of a loan.¹

BKLN Payment Record From 2012 Through 2025

Dividend Stacker's record of past payments shows 12 distributions in every completed year from 2012 through 2025. Per-share amounts are adjusted for any share splits or reverse splits.²

The annual total fell from $1.20 per share in 2012 to $0.9231 in 2015, with declines of 8.8%, 9.6% and 6.7%. It then rose 14.8% in 2016, fell 23.8% in 2017 to $0.8073, and climbed 21.8% in 2018 and 12.9% in 2019 to $1.11.²

Payments dropped 28.6% in 2020 and 13.3% in 2021, to $0.6872 per share. They rose 47.4% in 2022 and 79.6% in 2023, reaching $1.82, then declined 2.6% in 2024 and 17.7% in 2025, when the total was $1.46.²

Risks in BKLN's Senior Loan Holdings

Lack of an active trading market, restrictions on resale, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods may impair BKLN's ability to sell senior loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the fund.¹

All or a significant portion of the loans in which BKLN will invest may be determined to be non-investment grade loans that are considered speculative. Non-investment grade loans, and unrated loans of comparable credit quality, are subject to the increased risk of a borrower's inability to meet principal and interest payment obligations. Loans are also subject to the risk that the value of the collateral, if any, securing a loan may decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate or take possession of.¹

During periods of declining interest rates, a borrower may exercise its option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing the index, and therefore BKLN, to replace that loan with a lower yielding loan. The fund may then have to reinvest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in its income.¹

When BKLN buys a participation, it generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower, and it may not directly benefit from any collateral supporting the loan. As a result, the fund will be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation.¹

BKLN's Cash Redemptions and Tax Efficiency

Most ETFs generally make in-kind redemptions to avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. Unlike most ETFs, BKLN currently intends to effect creations and redemptions principally for cash, rather than principally in-kind, due to the nature of its investments.¹

BKLN may be required to sell portfolio securities to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. It may recognize a capital gain and/or incur brokerage costs on these sales that might not have been incurred if it had made a redemption in-kind, which may decrease its tax efficiency compared to ETFs that utilize an in-kind redemption process.¹
