BlackRock Debt Strategies Fund
BlackRock Debt Strategies Fund, Inc. (DSU) is a closed-end investment fund with a primary objective of providing current income. It aims to achieve this by investing in a diversified portfolio of debt instruments from United States companies. The fund focuses mainly on corporate loans and other debt that falls into the lower rating categories, often referred to as 'high-yield' debt, or instruments that are not rated at all. While the main goal is income, a secondary objective is to provide capital appreciation. The fund is flexible, with no restrictions on portfolio maturity, and can use derivatives to gain synthetic exposure. Managed by BlackRock Advisors, LLC, it offers investors a way to access the corporate debt market. It's important to remember that investments in lower-rated debt carry higher risks than those in higher-rated securities, and that the value of investments can go down as well as up.
