Blackstone Credit & Insurance Closed-End Funds Declare Monthly Distributions

Rhea-AI Summary

Blackstone Credit & Insurance has announced monthly distributions for three listed closed-end funds: Blackstone Senior Floating Rate 2027 Term Fund (BSL), Blackstone Long-Short Credit Income Fund (BGX), and Blackstone Strategic Credit 2027 Term Fund (BGB).

The funds employ a dynamic distribution strategy where monthly distributions are closely tied to each fund's recent average monthly net income, typically varying quarter-to-quarter. This approach provides Blackstone Credit & Insurance greater flexibility in maintaining portfolio credit quality across market conditions and reduces the need for net investment income reserves to support future distributions.

As part of Blackstone, the world's largest alternative asset manager with over $1.1 trillion in assets under management, Blackstone Credit & Insurance operates as a leading credit investor across various markets, including private investment grade, public investment grade, high yield, infrastructure debt, and direct lending.

NEW YORK, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackstone Liquid Credit Strategies LLC, an affiliate of Blackstone Alternative Credit Advisors LP (collectively, and together with their affiliates in the credit-focused business of Blackstone, Inc., "Blackstone Credit & Insurance"), announced monthly distributions for the three listed closed-end funds it advises, Blackstone Senior Floating Rate 2027 Term Fund (NYSE: BSL), Blackstone Long-Short Credit Income Fund (NYSE: BGX), and Blackstone Strategic Credit 2027 Term Fund (NYSE: BGB) (each a "Fund" and together the "Funds").

The Funds' monthly distributions are set forth below. The following dates apply to the distribution declarations for the Funds:

Ticker	Fund	Monthly Distribution Per Share
BSL	Senior Floating Rate 2027 Term Fund	$ 0.097
BGX	Long-Short Credit Income Fund	$ 0.086
BGB	Strategic Credit 2027 Term Fund	$ 0.089

 

Ex-Date:	March 24, 2025	April 23, 2025	May 22, 2025
Record Date:	March 24, 2025	April 23, 2025	May 22, 2025
Payable Date:	March 31, 2025	April 30, 2025	May 30, 2025

The Funds declare a set of monthly distributions each quarter in amounts closely tied to the respective Fund's recent average monthly net income. As a result, the monthly distribution amounts for the Funds typically vary quarter-to-quarter, and shareholders of any Fund should not expect that Fund to continue to pay distributions in the same amounts shown above. The dynamic distribution strategy provides Blackstone Credit & Insurance with greater flexibility to maintain portfolio credit quality in varying market conditions. In addition, the dynamic distribution strategy reduces the need to retain reserves from net investment income to support the stability of future distributions.

A portion of each distribution may be treated as paid from sources other than net investment income, including but not limited to short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain, or return of capital. The final determination of the source and tax characteristics of these distributions will depend upon each Fund's investment experience during its fiscal year and will be made after the Fund's year end. Each Fund will send to investors a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will define how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
