My Income Portfolio: In The Garden Of Eden
Published: May 05, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral
Total Return can be misleading if not supported by NAV growth, as it may include unsustainable distributions and Return of Capital. Behavioral finance shows markets are irrational, making it crucial to consider practical aspects beyond theoretical Total Return calculations. I believe that NAV performance can affect our discretion in the reinvestment choices for the distributions we receive from our savings much more than Total Return.

Fidus Investment: Back On My Radar, But There Are Stronger Picks
Published: April 23, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
FDUS is back on my "buy" list due to its solid valuation, despite increased market uncertainty from tariffs and potential recession risks. FDUS boasts a well-covered +9% regular dividend yield, with a current DPS coverage of 125%. FDUS has a solid portfolio with 78.6% secured debt investments, but I prefer BXSL and MSDL for their higher focus on first-lien debt in uncertain times.

Fidus Investment: Irresistible Buying Opportunity
Published: April 23, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
I upgraded Fidus Investment Corporation to 'Strong Buy' due to its well-covered dividends and substantial valuation haircut, with robust net investment activity and potential lower interest rates. Fidus Investment's portfolio value increased 14% YoY, driven by strong demand for investment capital, leading to a 10% YoY rise in net investment income. The BDC's low 75% dividend payout ratio and 4% discount to net asset value make it a compelling passive income investment.

Enough With 60/40, Consider 100% Dividend Strategy For Retirement
Published: April 18, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
The 60/40 portfolio, with 60% in equities and 40% in bonds, has long been the gold standard in the investment game. Yet, it has failed to deliver on its promise. In my view, a durable income strategy is a better approach, especially for funding retirement and becoming financially independent.

How To Navigate BDC Investing In Lower Interest Rate Environment
Published: April 01, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative
Lower interest rates negatively impact BDCs' net investment income due to the floating rate nature of their loans tied to the Fed Funds rate. A typical BDC portfolio, with a debt to equity ratio of 1.0x, cannot fully offset lower rates through floating leverage. However, there are some ways to manage this situation.

Worried About BDC Dividends? Consider These 3 For Durable Income
Published: March 31, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative
BDC dividend investors, who want to avoid seeing their portfolio current income streams shrink have to be extra careful when picking BDCs. Largely due to unfavorable sector-wide conditions, many BDCs have already cut their dividends (just as I predicted). In my view, there are many more in line.

My Income Portfolio: Financial Awareness
Published: March 10, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral
The essence of financial awareness is to realize that money can work for us through our investments. Understanding the value of money is the first step toward financial education, which leads to the selection of the most appropriate tools for developing that awareness. In my case, the instruments I have adopted are largely high-income vehicles, with monthly and, in some cases, quarterly distribution.
