Summary

Macquarie Floating Rate's October 2024 leadership transition from longtime lead manager Adam Brown to Vivek Bommi has not affected Morningstar's confidence in its execution or long-term prospects. The Above Average People and Process ratings reflect an experienced team and a disciplined approach that has consistently delivered competitive returns coupled with below-average volatility. The fund's mandate, in place since February 2017, centers on at least 80% exposure to US bank loans alongside opportunistic stakes in high-yield bonds and high-quality tranches of collateralized loan obligations.
