The Invesco Wholesale Senior Secured Income Fund invests in the loans of around 350 global companies, many household names, diversified across 20 or more sectors. 

In an elevated interest rate environment, loans are a timely complement to investors’ existing debt investments and income sources. The companies pay a contractual floating-rate income to investors, which is distributed on a monthly basis. And just as the name suggests, the loans are senior in the capital structure to all other debt or equity issued by the company, and they’re secured by the assets of the company – such as inventory, property and plant and equipment.

The investment team of the fund are one of the world’s largest managers of Senior Secured Loans in a highly liquid market approaching US $2 trillion. The team’s network and prominence in the market give them access to the most attractive loans from both private and publicly listed issuers.
