Private credit/BDC investments offer exposure to structural growth and a significant portfolio yield enhancement. Yet, we have to be extra careful of not falling into value traps and investing in unsustainable yields, which are abundant in the inherently risky sector. In this article, I share a BDC portfolio that has ~10.5% yield, healthier fundamentals than the average in the space, and, impor...

Today we'll discuss a 5.4% dividend that actually annualizes to 7%. A 5.7% payer that really dishes 12.4%.

When investing for 10%+ BDC yields, investors have to pay extra attention to leverage, dividend coverage, and portfolio quality. Going into Q3, 2024 earnings season, my expectation was that we would see elevated volatility levels and falling NII results. While the actual results have been mostly positive for high-quality BDCs (and even for some speculative picks), many risks remain open.

We take a look at the action in business development companies through the second week of November and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. BDCs saw a 2% aggregate return on the week; TPVG surged nearly 20%, while PSEC dropped due to a bad quarter and distribution cut.

The Fed's recent decision to cut the base rates by 50 basis points has created more problems for BDCs, especially for those with weaker portfolios. Lower base rates, inactive M&A markets and higher economic uncertainty are critical factors that for some BDCs might trigger dividend cuts. In the article I elaborate on two BDCs that are very close to cutting their dividends with a high probability...
