How it trades on rate days

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.44 — tends to move with bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Blackstone Secured Lending Fund moved 0.44% on average · correlation 0.20 · higher than 44% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.71 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.71% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days −0.08% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Company snapshot — Blackstone Secured Lending Fund

BXSL in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Blackstone Secured Lending Fund is a business development company, a closed-end fund that lends to private American businesses rather than a bank that takes deposits. It is externally managed and organised as a regulated investment company for tax purposes, aiming to earn current income and, more modestly, capital gains. Most of its book sits in first-lien senior secured and unitranche loans to small and mid-sized companies, with smaller positions in second-lien, unsecured and equity holdings. It is based in New York and its manager is part of Blackstone.
Where it sits in the stack
Blackstone Secured Lending Fund carries no seat in Rubin, the diary's AI build-out index. It sits in our Financial Services sleeve, under Asset Management, as a lender to private companies rather than a supplier of compute, power or components to that build-out.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group places it with other Financial Services names from the US, chosen for sector and country rather than business model, including Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Mizuho Financial Group and Brookfield Asset Management; the market also names Ares Capital Corporation as a comparable business development company.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
It carries a Closelooknet score, with quality the strongest module and momentum the weakest; it holds no seat in Rubin or any other Closelooknet index and the diary has not yet quoted it.
What the diary watches
Whether the loan book's balance-sheet strength holds up as the quality module suggests, given the weaker momentum reading sitting alongside it.
