10%+ Dividends And Stress-Free Retirement: My Top 2 Picks

Ultra-high-yield strategies (e.g., CLO equity, aggressive call option funds) risk capital destruction and income instability. Yet, conservative blue-chip income portfolios often yield too little (3-4%) to meet robust income goals or outpace inflation. My approach is to strike a balance between these two worlds.

FSCO: Weakness Related To Higher Rates (Rating Downgrade)

FS Credit Opportunities is downgraded to hold due to weaker earnings and declining NAV momentum amid challenging debt markets. FSCO trades at a 12.48% discount to NAV, offering a 13.2% yield, but current net investment income no longer fully covers distributions. The portfolio is 80% first lien senior secured debt, mostly floating rate, making performance sensitive to interest rate trends and borrower health.

FSCO: Bargain Or Value Trap? This Is Why I Think It's The Latter

The reason for my previous (skeptical) stance on FSCO was that I saw a clear case for FSCO's valuation converging closer to that of discounted BDC level. The thesis has worked out so far. Yet, given the Q3 details and FSCO's weak portfolio properties, I remain confident that there is still some decent downside left.

FSCO: The Discount Is Back (Rating Upgrade)

FS Credit Opportunities Corp (FSCO) presents a compelling opportunity as its discount to NAV has narrowed, making current entry points attractive. FSCO's portfolio is primarily composed of senior secured first-lien loans, offering a diversified approach to floating rates and limited exposure to riskier sectors like discretionary and software. The fund's high turnover rate and active management mean holdings frequently change, but investors must rely on FSCO's management due to limited transparency in private credit.
