Risk-Off Mode In The BDC Market: 1 Overrated And 1 Underrated Pick
BDCs are meant to provide high-dividends, while preserving NAV. However, given the signs both in the stock market and in the real economy on the ground, BDC investors have to be extra careful.

Morgan Stanley Direct Lending: Fundamentally Sound, But Still A Hold For Now
I continue to rate Morgan Stanley Direct Lending Fund a hold due to their short track record, economic uncertainty, and lack of catalysts for the sector. MSDL's latest earnings showed a decline in net investment income and lower overall portfolio yield, but credit quality and defensive positioning remain strong. MSDL's dividend safety is slightly pressured by declining earnings, but spillover income and a share repurchase program provide a cushion for the short term.

MSDL retains its impressive portfolio quality with low non-accruals and net realized losses. MSDL trades at a 9.9% dividend yield, with a well-diversified portfolio and stable NAV. Management expects increased LBO volumes and new lending opportunities, which should support fee levels and present new lending opportunities.

The Moment Of Truth For BDC Dividend Investors Is Close
As a structural BDC bull I have to admit that the period of BDCs consistently surprising us on the upside has come to an end. Many lower quality BDCs have already cut their dividends to sync their cash flows with less favorable private credit lending environment. I would say that the moment of truth for high quality BDCs is also very close, where we will see how really durable their base dividends are.
