Thanks damofarl.
I was wondering if it might be absorbed into BX. My other thought was it might have gone into BXSL, Blackstone Secured Lending Fund, 9% yield. SP is near a 12 month high so I will wait to see if the price drops. Appears to have a better quality loan book than BGLF did. Can't find the info right now but I thought I saw BXSL had a NAV premium rather than discount which is a bit off-putting.
For now I am going into boring safe gilts pay just below 5%. There's no cgt on gilts so only the coupon is taxable. If follows that low coupon gilts at a discount may suit UK taxpayers. I am not a UK taxpayer.
