First Trust Senior Loan ETF (CAD-Hedged) (FSL.TO)
About this ETF
The fund is an actively managed fund-of-fund that holds the First Trust Senior Loan Fund (ETF ticker: FTSL). This ETF invests in senior loans and similar securities primarily, but not exclusively, from North America. Fund documents show a typical profile for a senior loan fund: very low interest-rate risk (from floating-rate debt) and high credit risk (from a near-total allocation to below-investment-grade debt). The underlying funds investment advisor combines a fundamental credit selection process with relative value analysis and top-down macroeconomic perspectives when selecting investment opportunities. FSL will generally hedge all of its USD exposure back to the Canadian dollar.
