$0.1375 per share is the monthly distribution FS Specialty Lending Fund (NYSE: FSSL) has declared for July 2026. The fund's Board of Trustees, based in Philadelphia, approved the payment on July 8, 2026, with settlement scheduled for July 31. At that rate held across twelve months, the annualized per-share figure is $1.65.
The declared amount
The $0.1375 figure is reported, not projected. No share count and no aggregate payout total appear in the source. What the math does confirm: $0.1375 times 12 calendar periods equals $1.65 per share on an annualized run-rate basis.
Payment falls on July 31, 2026. No record date is specified in the available disclosure text.
Distribution source and composition

That breakdown typically appears in the fund's own filings. No net asset value figure, coverage ratio, or portfolio detail accompanies this declaration, which leaves the composition of the payout unresolved from the source alone.
