Leveraged Loan Deleveraging In Action - Part 2

Summary

  • Recent market action of SP100 Leveraged Loan Index and BKLN ETF which tracks it.
  • Through SP100, BKLN acts as a proxy for leveraged loan deleveraging and market liquidity.
  • Large weekly outflows and declines in BKLN have presaged SP500 market downturns.
Advisory: Due to timely relevance, this missive was updated on Friday 12/12/2014 when the SP500 had fallen from its high 2032 to 2018, subsequent plunge to close at 2002 warranted further review.
