About Blackstone Secured Lending Fund

Blackstone Secured Lending Fund (BXSL) is a U.S.-listed credit investment company whose shares trade on the NYSE in the United States. For international investors, BXSL sits squarely in the private credit and specialty finance segment, combining a listed vehicle structure with exposure to secured lending to middle-market and larger corporates. The company was formed in 2018 as a Delaware statutory trust and elected to be regulated as a business development company (BDC) later in 2018. Its common shares began trading on the NYSE under the ticker BXSL on October 28, 2021. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1736035/000119312523202310/d460069dars.pdf)) BXSL’s core business is to generate current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective, primarily by investing in originated loans and other credit securities. The fund is externally managed by Blackstone Credit BDC Advisors LLC, part of Blackstone’s broader credit platform, which gives BXSL access to institutional origination capabilities, underwriting resources, and the global investment ecosystem of Blackstone Credit & Insurance. That relationship is a key competitive advantage: it supports sourcing, risk selection, and portfolio construction at scale. The adviser’s principal executive offices are in New York, reinforcing BXSL’s U.S. footprint and Blackstone’s domestic operational base for this strategy. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1736035/000119312523202310/d460069dars.pdf)) From a market-positioning perspective, BXSL is best understood as a listed direct-lending and secured-credit vehicle. It aims to invest predominantly in senior secured loans and other credit instruments that offer attractive risk-adjusted yields, rather than pursuing high-beta equity-like returns. As a BDC, it is designed to distribute a substantial portion of earnings to shareholders, making it relevant for income-oriented investors. The structure is non-diversified, which can increase idiosyncratic credit risk, but it also reflects a focused underwriting approach centered on capital preservation and recurring income.

In practical terms, that means the fund’s performance is driven mostly by U.S. credit conditions, borrower fundamentals, and the interest-rate cycle. For French, Belgian, and Swiss investors, this creates a relatively straightforward way to access U.S. private credit through a public market wrapper listed on the NYSE. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1736035/000119312523202310/d460069dars.pdf)) Recent developments around Blackstone’s credit franchise remain important context for BXSL. Blackstone has continued to announce large credit transactions and partnerships in 2025 and 2026, highlighting the breadth of its origination network and its ability to deploy capital across secured lending, commercial real estate debt, direct lending, and other credit verticals. While those announcements are not all BXSL-specific, they underscore the strategic depth of the platform supporting the fund and the relevance of Blackstone’s broader credit franchise to BXSL’s investment pipeline and competitive positioning.
