Blackstone Secured Lending Fund (BXSL) is a Delaware statutory trust, established on March 26, 2018, that operates as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment fund. On October 26, 2018, it formally became regulated as a Business Development Company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Additionally, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it has chosen and plans to retain its status as a Regulated Investment Company (RIC), as defined by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The fund's core mission is to generate current income, complemented by a secondary focus on long-term capital appreciation. To achieve these goals, BXSL primarily invests in private U.S. small and middle-market companies. Its strategy centers on originating various debt and equity securities, most notably first lien senior secured and unitranche loans (which encompass first out/last out structures). While these form the bulk of its holdings, the fund also selectively invests in syndicated loans, second lien, third lien, unsecured, and subordinated loans, as well as other debt and equity instruments.

Key Metrics

Current Yield

13.10%

At the Oct 30, 2026 price

The annual dividend as a percentage of the share price. A 3% yield is about $3 of dividends a year for every $100 invested at today's price.

Annualized Dividend

$3.0800

Declared Aug 06, 2026

The latest declared regular dividend scaled to a full year by how often it's paid (for semi-annual payers, the latest two payments), adjusted for stock splits. A $0.25 quarterly dividend annualizes to $1.00. Special dividends are excluded.

Frequency

Q Quarterly

How often the dividend is paid, read from the dates of recent payments: Q = quarterly (4x a year), M = monthly, S = semi-annual, A = annual.

RSI (14)

47

As of Oct 30, 2026

Relative Strength Index (0-100), a price-momentum gauge. Above 70 is often called 'overbought', below 30 'oversold'. A technical signal, not a dividend metric.

52-Week Range

$22.98 – $28.39

Closes through Oct 23, 2026

The lowest and highest price over the past year, showing where today's price sits in its recent range.

Payout Ratio (TTM)

232.83% (EPS-based)

12 months to Jun 30, 2026 (Q2 FY2026)

The share of earnings paid out as dividends over the trailing twelve months (TTM): dividends paid divided by net income across the company's four most recent reported quarters, dated by the latest quarter end. A fiscal-year tag such as FY2025 means only annual figures were available. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earned. It shows n/a for funds and when net income over the period was negative; for REITs and BDCs it is marked EPS-based, since they are judged on FFO/AFFO or net investment income instead.

Years Paying

How many years of payments we have on record. This can understate very long histories where our data doesn't reach far enough back.

Price / Book (TTM)

0.91

Price as of Oct 25, 2026; latest reported book value

Price-to-book ratio: the share price on the date shown divided by the latest reported book value per share. A rough valuation gauge, most useful for asset-heavy sectors like REITs, banks and insurers.

S.A.F.E. Dividend Read

S.A.F.E. is a set of four checks on a dividend's record and the company's data, the same test used across the screener and our ranked lists. Solid: a Dividend Safety Score of 70+ and a yield of 2%+. Accelerating: at least three consecutive completed calendar years of higher total regular dividends. Flawless: since 1990, no calendar year whose total regular dividend fell more than 20% below the year before, and no suspension. Enduring: at least 20 years between the first and latest dividend in our records. All four met earns the S.A.F.E. flag.
S Solid
Below the Solid check (Dividend Safety Score 70+ and yield 2%+): Dividend Safety Score 53/100, yield 13.10%.
A Accelerating
Dividend growth has stalled — 0 consecutive annual increase(s), under the 3 this check looks for.
F Flawless
No calendar year's regular dividend total fell more than 20% below the year before, and no suspension of the regular dividend is on record.
E Enduring
4 year(s) of payments on record, under the 20 this check looks for.

Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)

BXSL's dividend yield rose from 13.08% to 13.10% over the past ~90 days (+0.02 pp). Of that move, +0.00 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and +0.02 pp from the share price ($23.55 on Aug 03, 2026 → $23.52 on Oct 30, 2026). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
