5 BDC Investment Criteria And 3 Picks I'd Recommend For Retirees As a BDC bull, I've to admit that most BDCs are not good enough for being included in a durable retirement/passive income portfolio. In the article I share 5 specific criteria that we have to comply with to minimize dividend cut risk. I also share 3 concrete BDC picks, which I could easily see being included in the retirement income mix. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
2 High Yield BDCs With Exceptional Value To Price Ratio BDC investing is primarily about income with less emphasis on growth. One way to activate the second (price appreciation) component is through investing in heavily discounted BDCs. The other, more prudent approach is to invest in high-quality BDCs that should deserve higher premium, where from a price-to-value convergence, investors could enhance the total return performance. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
Fidus Investment: A Proven Winner For Steady Income And Market-Beating Total Returns Fidus Investment has delivered strong market-beating total returns through a disciplined investment approach and attractive dividends. FDUS's portfolio, comprised mostly of senior secured debt, has shown consistent growth, low non-accruals, and NAV/share accretion, supported by a conservative balance sheet. With a fair current valuation at a P/Book value of 1.12x, existing investors might want to wait for a slightly more attractive entry point while receiving high and covered dividends. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
FIDUS Investment: Turning To Hold With Positive Outlook On Dividend Safety (Rating Downgrade) Fidus Investment is one of my favorite BDCs, focusing on debt and equity financing solutions with a diversified portfolio of 85 companies. FDUS targets lower middle-market businesses, emphasizing niche market leaders, diversified customer bases, strong cash flows, and robust management teams. The portfolio is concentrated in IT Services and Business Services, making up 35.4% and 11.9% respectively. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
An 8%+ Retirement Income Cocktail Of: 1 BDC, 1 MLP, And 1 ETF The usual sweet spot range for high and durable income is 6-8%. Anything above that tends to come with unfavorable financial risk. Yet, by being selective and careful, 8%+ exceptions can be found. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
Combat Inflation With High Yields: Two 10%+ Durable Dividends High inflation is a serious risk for sustainable wealth creation. One of the best ways to beat inflation and generate real value is devising a high yield strategy. Such a strategy comes with its own set of risks such as income reduction and inflation gradually over time exceeding dividends. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
Fidus Investment: Resilient Portfolio Strategy And Health Dividend Coverage Fidus Investment offers a high dividend yield of 11.5%, supported by a well-structured portfolio of secured debt investments and consistent earnings. Despite trading at a slight premium to NAV, FDUS remains fairly valued compared to peers. The portfolio's overall credit quality remains solid, as non-accruals fall within a similar range as prior quarters. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
2 BDCs With 20%+ Discount To NAV: 1 To Buy, 1 To Avoid The primary return source of BDC investments is dividend income. Yet, when there is a mismatch between price and value, it is possible to pocket attractive price returns as well. In this article, I share two BDCs that trade at 20%+ discount to their NAV and offer dividend yield starting from 13%. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
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 - 1 month 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 months 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 - 2 months ago
