Sixth Street Specialty Lending
Sixth Street Specialty Lending (TSLX) is a US‑listed business development company (BDC) that provides flexible debt capital to middle‑market and larger private companies. Managed by Sixth Street, the firm typically originates senior‑secured and unitranche loans, often with floating‑rate coupons that can benefit from higher short‑term interest rates. TSLX aims to generate income through interest payments and structuring fees, which historically supports a regular dividend, but returns depend on credit performance and economic conditions. As a regulated BDC it uses leverage to enhance returns; leverage can amplify gains and losses and increase volatility. Key investor considerations include credit risk, interest‑rate sensitivity, portfolio diversification, manager incentives and liquidity of underlying positions. Market capitalisation is approximately $2.07bn. This summary is educational only and not personalised advice — values can rise and fall, income is not guaranteed, and investors should assess suitability for their circumstances.

Income‑oriented BDC
TSLX focuses on producing current income from loans and fees, though dividends depend on portfolio performance and are not guaranteed.
Rate Sensitivity
Many loans carry floating rates, so rising benchmark rates can increase interest income but may also raise funding costs and stress weaker borrowers.
Diversified Credit Exposure
The portfolio spans industries and maturities to spread risk, but diversification does not eliminate credit or market volatility.
