NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
Blackstone Floating Rate Enhanced Income Fund (formerly known as Blackstone / GSO Floating Rate Enhanced Income Fund) (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, and operates as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund engages in continuous offering of shares and operates as an interval fund that offers to make monthly repurchases of shares at the net asset value (the “NAV”).
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide attractive current income with low sensitivity to rising interest rates.
The Fund was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 20, 2017 pursuant to a Declaration of Trust governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. The Fund had no operations from that date to November 10, 2017, other than those related to organizational matters and the registration of its shares under applicable securities laws. Blackstone Liquid Credit Strategies LLC (formerly known as GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC) (the “Adviser”) purchased 4,000 Institutional Class I Common Shares (“Class I Shares”) at a NAV of $25.00 per share on November 10, 2017. The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Class I Shares, Advisory Class D Common Shares (“Class D Shares”), Brokerage Class T Common Shares (“Class T Shares”), Brokerage Class T-I Common Shares (“Class T-I Shares”) and Brokerage Class U Common Shares (“Class U Shares”), and a maximum offering of $3,000,000,000 of common shares. Class I Shares commenced operations on January 18, 2018, Class T Shares commenced operations on May 7, 2018, Class D Shares commenced operations on October 1, 2018, Class T-I Shares commenced operations on April 22, 2019 and Class U Shares commenced operations on November 29, 2019. As of June 30, 2021, Class I Shares (BGFLX), Class T Shares (BGFTX), Class D Shares (BGFDX), Class T-I Shares (BGFPX) and Class U Shares (BGFVX) were outstanding.
The Fund was previously classified as a non-diversified management investment company for purposes of the 1940 Act. As a result of ongoing
operations, the Fund is now classified as a diversified management investment company. This means that with respect to 75% of the Fund’s total assets, no more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in any one issuer or own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer (except, in each case, excepting cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, and securities of other investment companies). The Fund may not resume operating in a non-diversified manner without first obtaining shareholder approval in accordance with the 1940 Act.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are stated in U.S. dollars. The Fund is considered an investment company under reporting requirements of U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Portfolio Valuation: The Fund’s NAV is determined daily on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“Exchange”) is open for business, as of the close of the regular trading session on the Exchange. The Fund calculates NAV per common share by subtracting liabilities (including accrued expenses or dividends) from the total assets of the Fund (the value of the securities plus cash or other assets, including interest accrued but not yet received) and dividing the result by the total number of outstanding common shares of the Fund.
Loans are primarily valued by using a composite loan price from a nationally recognized loan pricing service. The methodology used by the Fund’s nationally recognized loan pricing provider for composite loan prices is to value loans at the mean of the bid and ask prices from one or more brokers or dealers. Collateralized loan obligation securities (“CLOs”) are valued at the price provided by a nationally recognized pricing service. The prices provided by the nationally recognized pricing service are typically based on the evaluated mid-price of each of the CLOs. Non-U.S. Instruments are valued by translating available quotes into U.S. dollar equivalents, if the quotes are considered reliable, and are otherwise valued at fair value. Over-the-counter options are priced on the basis of dealer quotes. Other types of derivatives for which quotes may not be available are valued at fair value. Corporate bonds and convertible bonds, other than short-term investments, are valued at the price provided by a nationally recognized pricing service. The prices provided by the nationally recognized pricing service are typically based on the mean of bid and ask prices for each corporate bond security. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are generally valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Futures contracts, if any, are ordinarily valued at the last sales price on the securities or commodities exchange on which they are traded. Written and purchased options, if any, are ordinarily valued at the closing price on the securities or commodities exchange on which they are traded. To the extent current market quotations are not readily available, short-term debt investments, if any, having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less when purchased would be valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Any investments and other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value (“Fair Valued Assets”) as determined in good faith by a committee of the Adviser (“Fair Valued Asset Committee”) under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Such methods may include, but are not limited to, the use of a market comparable and/or income approach methodologies. A Fair Valued Asset Committee meeting may be called at any time by any member of the Fair Valued Asset Committee. The pricing of all Fair Valued Assets and determinations thereof shall be reported by the Fair Valued Asset Committee to the Board at each regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. The Fund has procedures to identify and investigate potentially stale prices for investments which are valued using a nationally recognized pricing service, exchange price or broker-dealer quotations. After performing such procedures, any prices which are deemed to be stale are reviewed by the Fair Valued Asset Committee and an alternative pricing source is determined.
Various inputs are used to determine the value of the Fund’s investments. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments at the date of measurement.
Level 2— Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3— Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The categorization of investments and other financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and other financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Fund’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following tables summarize valuation of the Fund’s investments under the fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2021:

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes and amounts payable or receivable for trades not settled at the time of period end are reflected as liabilities and assets, respectively. Interest Income is recognized on an accrual basis from the date of settlement. Accretion of discount and amortization of premium, which are included in interest income, are accreted or amortized daily using the accrual basis interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and foreign currency transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
COVID-19 and Global Economic and Market Conditions: The ongoing novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has caused disruption in the U.S. and global economies. More recently, broad-based economic recovery and activity in the U.S. have accelerated following meaningful progress on vaccine distribution, the easing of shutdowns and other restrictions and support from previously implemented fiscal and monetary stimulus. Nevertheless, both in the U.S. and abroad, there is continued uncertainty regarding the trajectory of a continuing recovery, particularly given the strength of the Delta variant. Accordingly, this recovery remains uneven with dispersion across sectors and regions. The estimates and assumptions underlying the Fund's financial statements are based on the information available as of June 30, 2021. The estimates and assumptions include judgments about financial market and economic conditions which have changed, and may continue to change, over time.
3. LOANS AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in floating rate loans, notes, or bonds. “Managed Assets” means net assets plus the amount of any borrowings, including loans from certain financial institutions and the issuance of debt securities (collectively, “Borrowings”) for investment purposes. Under current market conditions, the Fund anticipates that its portfolio of floating rate instruments will primarily consist of floating rate loans (“Loans”). Loans are made to U.S. and non-U.S. corporations, partnerships and other business entities (“Borrowers”) that operate in various industries and geographical regions. At June 30, 2021, 86.31% of the Fund’s Managed Assets were held in floating rate loan interests.
The Loans that the Fund may invest in include Loans that are first lien, second lien, third lien or that are unsecured. In addition, the Loans the Fund will invest in will usually be rated below investment grade or may also be unrated. The proceeds of Loans primarily are used to refinance existing debt and for acquisitions, dividends, leveraged buyouts, and general corporate purposes.
Loans typically have rates of interest which are determined daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium or credit spread. As a result, as short-term interest rates increase, interest payable to the Fund from its investments in Loans should increase, and as short-term interest rates decrease, interest payable to the Fund from its investments in Loans should decrease. Longer interest rate reset periods generally increase fluctuations in the Fund’s NAV as a result of changes in market interest rates. These base lending rates are primarily LIBOR (subject to the LIBOR transition as described in “Principal Risks—LIBOR Risk”) and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks and the certificate of deposit rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders.
Loans will usually require, in addition to scheduled payments of interest and principal, the prepayment of the Loan from free cash flow, as described above. The degree to which borrowers prepay Loans, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, may be affected by general business conditions, the financial condition of the borrower and competitive conditions among Loan Investors, among others. As such, prepayments cannot be predicted with accuracy. Recent market conditions, including falling default rates among others, have led to increased prepayment frequency and loan renegotiations. These renegotiations are often on terms more favorable to borrowers. Upon a prepayment, either in part or in full, the actual outstanding debt on which the Fund derives interest income will be reduced. However, the Fund may receive a prepayment penalty fee assessed against the prepaying borrower.
Loans are subject to the risk of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal. Such non-payment would result in a reduction of income to the Fund, a reduction in the value of the investment and a potential decrease in the NAV of the Fund. To the extent a Loan is secured, there can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral securing a Loan would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of a Borrower, the Fund could experience delays or limitations with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the collateral of a secured Loan. The collateral of a secured Loan may lose all or substantially all of its value in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a Borrower. Some Loans are subject to the risk that a court, pursuant to fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws, could subordinate such Loans to presently existing or future indebtedness of the Borrower or take other action detrimental to the holders of Loans including, in certain circumstances, invalidating such Loans or causing interest previously paid to be refunded to the Borrower. If interest were required to be refunded, it could negatively affect the Fund’s performance. At June 30, 2021 the Fund had invested $21,426,536 in second lien secured loans.
The Fund anticipates that substantially all of Fund’s assets, including its investments in Loans, may be invested in instruments rated below investment grade, such as those rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s and BB+ or lower by S&P or Fitch or instruments comparably rated by other rating agencies, or in unrated instruments determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. Instruments rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s are judged to have speculative elements, their future cannot be considered as well assured and often the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate. Instruments rated BB+ or lower by S&P or Fitch are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics and, while such obligations have less near-term vulnerability to default than other speculative grade debt, they face major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial or economic conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.
Lower grade instruments, though higher yielding, are characterized by higher risk. They may be subject to certain risks with respect to the issuing entity and to greater market fluctuations than certain lower yielding, higher rated instruments. The retail secondary market for lower grade instruments may be less liquid than that of higher rated instruments. Adverse conditions could make it difficult at times for the Fund to sell certain instruments or could result in lower prices than those used in calculating the Fund’s NAV.
The prices of credit instruments generally are inversely related to interest rate changes; however, the price volatility caused by fluctuating interest rates of instruments also is inversely related to the coupon of such instruments. Accordingly, lower grade instruments may be relatively less sensitive to interest rate changes than higher quality instruments of comparable maturity, because of their higher coupon. This higher coupon is what the investor receives in return for bearing greater credit risk. The higher credit risk associated with lower grade instruments potentially can have a greater effect on the value of such instruments than may be the case with higher quality issues of comparable maturity, and will be a substantial factor in the Fund’s relative share price volatility.
The Adviser has established a counterparty and liquidity sub-committee that regularly reviews each broker-dealer counterparty for, among other things, its quality and the quality of its execution. The established procedures and guidelines require trades to be placed for execution only with broker-dealer counterparties approved by the counterparty and liquidity sub-committee of the Adviser. The factors considered by the sub-committee when selecting and approving brokers and dealers include, but are not limited to: (i) quality, accuracy, and timeliness of execution, (ii) review of the reputation, financial strength and stability of the financial institution, (iii) willingness and ability of the counterparty to commit capital, (iv) ongoing reliability and (v) access to underwritten offerings and secondary markets.
The Fund may acquire Loans through assignments or participations. The Fund will typically acquire Loans through assignment. The purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the debt obligation; however, the purchaser’s rights can be more restricted than those of the assigning institution, and the Fund may not be able to unilaterally enforce all rights and remedies under the loan and with regard to any associated collateral.
A participation typically results in a contractual relationship only with the institution selling the participation interest, not with the Borrower. Sellers of participations typically include banks, broker-dealers, other financial institutions and lending institutions. Certain participation agreements also include the option to convert the participation to a full assignment under agreed upon circumstances. The Adviser has adopted best execution procedures and guidelines to mitigate credit and counterparty risk in the atypical situation when the Fund must acquire a Loan through participation.
The Fund invests in CLO securities. A CLO is a financing company (generally called a Special Purpose Vehicle (“SPV”)), created to reapportion the risk and return characteristics of a pool of assets. While the assets underlying CLOs are typically Loans, the assets may also include (i) unsecured loans, (ii) debt securities that are rated below investment grade, (iii) debt tranches of other CLOs and (iv) equity securities incidental to investments in Loans. When investing in CLOs, the Fund will not invest in equity tranches, which are the lowest tranche. However, the Fund may invest in lower rated debt tranches of CLOs, which typically experience a lower recovery, greater risk of loss or deferral or non-payment of interest than more senior tranches of the CLO. The underlying Loans purchased by CLOs are generally performing at the time of purchase but may become non-performing, distressed or defaulted. CLOs with underlying assets of non-performing, distressed or defaulted loans are not contemplated to comprise a significant portion of the Fund’s investments in CLOs. The key feature of the CLO structure is the prioritization of the cash flows from a pool of debt securities among the several classes of the CLO. The SPV is a company founded solely for the purpose of securitizing payment claims arising out of this diversified asset pool. On this basis, marketable securities are issued by the SPV which, due to the diversification of the underlying risk, generally represent a lower level of risk than the original assets. The redemption of the securities issued by the SPV typically takes place at maturity out of the cash flow generated by the collected claims.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its Managed Assets in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), to the extent that such investments are consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, strategies and policies and permissible under the 1940 Act, including interpretations or modifications by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Fund may invest in other investment companies to gain broad market or sector exposure, including during periods when it has large amounts of uninvested cash (such as the period shortly after the Fund receives the proceeds of the offering of its Common Shares) or when the Adviser believes share prices of other investment companies offer attractive values. The Fund may invest in investment companies that are advised or sub-advised by the Adviser or its affiliates to the extent permitted by applicable law and/or pursuant to exemptive relief from the SEC. As a shareholder in an investment company, the Fund will bear its ratable share of that investment company’s expenses and would remain subject to payment of the Fund’s management fees and other expenses with respect to assets so invested. Common shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment companies.
ETFs are pooled investment vehicles that are designed to provide investment results corresponding to an index. These indexes may be either broad-based, sector or international. ETFs usually are units of beneficial interest in an investment trust or represent undivided ownership interests in a portfolio of securities (or commodities), in each case with respect to a portfolio of all or substantially all of the component securities of, and in substantially the same weighting as, the relevant benchmark index. ETFs are designed to provide investment results that generally correspond to the price and yield performance of the component securities (or commodities) of the benchmark index. ETFs are listed on an exchange and trade in the secondary market on a per-share basis. The values of ETFs are subject to change as the values of their respective component securities (or commodities) fluctuate according to market volatility. Investments in ETFs may not exactly match the performance of a direct investment in the respective indices to which they are intended to correspond due to the temporary unavailability of certain index securities in the secondary market or other extraordinary circumstances, such as discrepancies with respect to the weighting of securities. Typically, the ETF bears its own operational expenses, which are deducted from its assets. To the extent that the Fund invests in ETFs, the Fund must bear these expenses in addition to the expenses of its own operation.

NOTE 5. LEVERAGE
The Fund entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders party thereto to borrow money pursuant to a one-year revolving line of credit ("Leverage Facility") dated January 18, 2018, as amended on June 22, 2018, and as further amended on August 16, 2018 and as amended and restated on October 23, 2018, and as further amended and restated on December 28, 2018, and as amended on January 17, 2019, as further amended on June 27, 2019, as further amended on September 11, 2019, as further amended on January 16, 2020, as further amended on April 9, 2020, and as further amended on January 14, 2021, to borrow up to an aggregate limit of $228,000,000 under two loan tranches, Tranche A and Tranche B. The Tranche A commitment allows for borrowings up to $200,000,000. The Tranche B commitment allows for borrowings for temporary purposes up to $28,000,000 and includes a swing line component with a commitment equal to $28,000,000. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by the assets of the Fund. Interest is charged at a rate of 0.90% above LIBOR for each Tranche A loan, with LIBOR measured for the period commencing on the date of the making of such LIBOR loan (or the last date upon which any other Tranche A loan was converted to, or continued as, such LIBOR loan) and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month that is one (1), two (2), three (3), six (6) or nine (9) months thereafter, as the Fund may elect, or such other periods as the lender may agree in its sole and absolute discretion and (b) 0.95% above LIBOR with respect to each Tranche B Loan and each swing line loan with, LIBOR measured for the period commencing on the date of the making of such LIBOR loan (or the last date upon which any other loan was converted to, or continued as, such LIBOR loan) and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month that is one month thereafter. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund must pay a commitment fee on any undrawn amounts. The commitment fee payable is (a) for Tranche A loans, 0.15% on the undrawn amounts when drawn amounts exceed 75% of the relevant borrowing limit and 0.25% on the undrawn amounts in all other events and (b) 0.15% for Tranche B loans. Interest and fees are generally payable quarterly. The Fund may elect to extend the Agreement for a further period with the consent of the lending bank. At June 30, 2021, the Fund had borrowings outstanding under its Leverage Facility of $148,700,000, at an interest rate of 0.98% for Tranche A. Due to the short term nature of the Agreement, face value approximates fair value at June 30, 2021. For the days leverage was drawn during the period October 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, the average borrowings under the Fund’s Leverage Facility and the average interest rate was $145,024,542 and 1.00%, respectively for Tranche A, and $4,765,455 and 0.99%, respectively for Tranche B.
Under the Agreement, the Fund has agreed to certain covenants and additional investment limitations while the leverage is outstanding. The Fund agreed to maintain asset coverage of three times over borrowings. Compliance with the investment restrictions and calculations are performed by the Fund's custodian, The Bank of New York Mellon.
The use of borrowings to leverage the common shares of the Fund can create risks. Changes in the value of the Fund's portfolio, including securities bought with the proceeds of leverage, are borne entirely by the holders of common shares of the Fund. All costs and expenses related to any form of leverage used by the Fund are borne entirely by common shareholders. If there is a net decrease or increase in the value of the Fund's investment portfolio, the leverage may decrease or increase, as the case may be, the NAV per common share to a greater extent than if the Fund did not utilize leverage.
