7. News
My Top 10 BDCs For 2025 Despite expected interest rate declines, BDCs are poised for strong performance in 2025 due to potential rate hikes and inflation uncertainties. BDCs provide capital to small businesses, have high yields, and are sensitive to interest rate changes, making them attractive for dividend-focused investors. Top BDCs like Ares Capital, Main Street Capital, and Blackstone Secured Lending show strong fundamentals, conservative management, and solid balance sheets. seekingalpha.com - 2 weeks ago
My 9.5% Income Portfolio: Better With Less, But Better Risk is the probability of a negative event in the future. An abstract concept that is not measurable; otherwise it would not be risk. Ascertaining value is the first step in controlling risk, that is, in reducing the possibility of incurring losses that cannot be predicted in advance. My choice to invest in securities with positive NAV performance over time is a way to try to control risk. seekingalpha.com - 2 weeks ago
My Dividend Growth Cocktail Of 2025: 1 MLP, 1 BDC And 1 ETF Investing for high yields and for income growth requires different strategies. Yet, sometimes it is possible to find a middle ground by locking in decent yields and growing distributions. In the article I share my three favorite picks for capturing income growth in 2025. seekingalpha.com - 3 weeks ago
Very Bad News For BDCs, But There Is A Solution BDCs are currently exposed to multiple structural headwinds. It is very difficult to substantiate a bullish case for the BDC sector. In my view, to achieve alpha, one would have to go far out on the risk curve. seekingalpha.com - 3 weeks ago
Fidus Investment: Who's Buying This 8.4% Yielding BDC? Fidus Investment offers an attractive 8.4% forward yield with supplemental dividends, making it a solid choice for income-focused investors despite lacking upside catalysts. The BDC's portfolio value crossed $1 billion, showing impressive growth and strong first-lien debt exposure, ensuring portfolio quality and safety. FDUS has maintained dividend safety with lower leverage, ample liquidity, and spillover income, despite a challenging economic backdrop and declining interest rates. seekingalpha.com - 4 weeks ago
5 BDCs With High Dividend Resistance To Falling Interest Rates The financial outlook for many BDCs is not promising. Already lower base rates will continue to depress results in Q4 reports. The trajectory for SOFR is not great either. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
Dividend Cut Alert: 2 BDCs With Likely Lower Dividends In 2025 BDCs offer attractive opportunities for income investors to enhance their portfolio yields. Yet, since the yields are so enticing, the chances are high for getting caught in value traps. In the article I elaborate on two BDCs that are very close to cutting their dividends with a high probability of making the announcements in 2025. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
Invest In $95,000 BDC Portfolio For $10,000 Annual Income And Durable Compounding 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, importantly, meaningful price appreciation potential. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
Main Street Vs. Fidus Investment: Both Are Top Class, One Is At Better Price Main Street Capital and Fidus Investment have been my top BDC picks since late 2023. So far, both have outperformed the index, which might raise the question of potential overvaluation. I compare FDUS and MAIN side by side to determine whether they still present an attractive case, and if so, then which one offers a more enticing entry point. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
Fidus Investment: A Solid Q3 With An Efficient Income Profile We provide a Q3 update of the business development company Fidus Investment. Fidus Investment trades at a 12.2% dividend yield and shows consistent outperformance at a modest valuation. Q3 adjusted net income rose by 7% to $0.61, driven by higher dividends and fees, with a total Q3 dividend of $0.61. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
Investing In BDCs For 10%+ Yields? This Is What Matters Now 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. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
My 9.5% Income Portfolio CEFs And Classic Cars Closed-end funds are special income vehicles, with many positive aspects and just as many weaknesses that take time to be properly understood and evaluated. I discovered their existence about ten years ago, and over time, I became convinced of their worth by developing a personal method of selection based mainly on NAV performance. This is an analytical, data-driven approach which I then extended to other types of securities in my portfolio, namely ETFs and BDCs. seekingalpha.com - 2 months ago
