Senior loans are a type of debt financing provided to companies by a group of lenders. They have priority over other types of debt in the event of a company&#8217;s default, making them a relatively low-risk investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:43\"><span

data-sourcepos=\"11:5-12:169\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"11:5-11:231\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>High Income Potential:<\/strong>\u00a0Senior loans typically offer higher yields than traditional bonds due to their higher risk profile.\u00a0CEFs can amplify these returns through leverage,\u00a0leading to potentially attractive income streams.<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"12:5-12:169\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Lower Volatility:<\/strong>\u00a0Compared to high-yield bonds,\u00a0senior loans tend to be less volatile due to their secured
