The Invesco Senior Loan ETF (BKLN) remains a major player in the senior loan market, benefiting from rising yields as the Federal Reserve hikes rates. However, its relatively high expense ratio of 0.65% and less favorable comparison to collateralized loan obligation (CLO) funds make it a cautious choice for investors.
