If I Had To Retire With 2 BDCs, These Would Be My Picks

The BDC sector faces mounting risks: falling base rates, spread compression, and rising credit issues, driving a ~23% index drawdown in 12 months. Dividend cuts have accelerated, with 12 out of ~55 BDCs—including GBDC and GLAD—reducing payouts in the past year. Sector-wide average base dividend coverage sits at 100%, with fully leveraged balance sheets and no margin of safety.

My Income Portfolio - A Random Walk

My income portfolio prioritizes resilient, high-dividend securities with long-term positive NAV trends rather than trading based on unpredictable short-term price movements. Therefore, I focus on funds that have demonstrated value creation since launch, especially those with at least a decade of performance history, with its accompanying ups and downs. In this article, I show how the NAVs of all my securities behaved during the worst moments of their existence and how they largely rebounded.

Two 12%+ Dividends Going From Bargains To Buys

Investors are currently adopting a more conservative stance, favoring high-quality value and durable income. However, this rotation coupled with lower interest rates echoes a bit 2022's system-wide yield compression (when high-quality income was overcrowded due to a desparate search-for-yield activity). So, finding double digit dividends that are backed by strong fundamentals has become more difficult.

Fidus Investment: 10% Dividend Yield And Low Non-Accruals

Fidus Investment is rated a Buy, offering a covered 10% aggregate dividend yield and trading at a small premium to NAV after a 1-year dip. FDUS's portfolio is 73% first lien debt, with non-accruals at fair value at 0.3%, well below BDC averages, highlighting strong credit quality. Aggregate dividend coverage remains tight post-rate cuts, but $39.5 million spillover income provides a buffer for near-term distribution risks.

The Biggest Bargain And The Most Expensive Lottery Ticket I See In The BDC Space

BDC sector valuations remain depressed, with P/NAV metrics under 1x due to falling rates and credit risk concerns. Dividend sustainability is diverging across BDCs; not all will cut, but the ones with sustainable dividends do not automatically have strong total return prospects. I highlight one BDC as a compelling bargain with strong total return prospects and contrast it with another viewed as highly overpriced.
