Invesco Senior Loan ETF Price & Performance (BKLN)

Senior loan ETFs, including the Invesco Senior Loan ETF (BKLN), have experienced significant investor withdrawals, with BKLN seeing $2.6 billion in outflows recently. This trend reflects growing unease about potential U.S. economic downturns, rising default risks, and the prospect of interest rate cuts, making high-yield loans less attractive.12

The Invesco Senior Loan ETF (BKLN) will trade ex-dividend on April 21, 2025, with shareholders entitled to a $0.12682 per share payout. Despite this, analysts expect the ETF’s performance to remain weak in the coming weeks due to negative market signals and persistent outflows.34

Invesco has eliminated Managed Distribution Plans for its Senior Income Trust (VVR) and High Income Trust II (VLT). While monthly distributions will continue, the change allows greater flexibility in adjusting payouts to reflect underlying income, especially amid recent market volatility and fluctuating loan yields.56
