Altria Group, Golub Capital, Alliance Resource Partners and Barings offer attractive shareholder yields amid the US market selloff. Here's why they stand out.

Every so often, the market hands investors high-yielding opportunities on a platter after throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I detail why I think there are certain BDCs that this applies to right now. I discuss the specifics of what I am looking for as well as some of my top picks of the moment.

Golub Capital Corp (GBDC) maintains a conservative underwriting approach, funding only 1.5% of reviewed deals with a portfolio dominated by first lien senior debt. Non-accruals have risen from 1.2% to 2.9% at cost over the past year, but most unrealized losses are expected to reverse, limiting near-term NAV pressure. GBDC's net investment spread has tightened due to increased competition, but a slowdown in private credit inflows may help stabilize or widen spreads going forward.

Default rates are hitting recent highs, and internal reviews of loan health point to tougher times ahead, a WSJ analysis shows.

Golub Capital BDC remains a 'Hold' due to persistent non-accrual increases and a razor-thin dividend coverage ratio. GBDC's 100% dividend coverage offers no safety margin; a second dividend cut in 2026 is increasingly likely if current trends persist. Portfolio value declined 8.5% year-over-year, with non-accruals rising to 1.9% at fair value, exacerbating dividend risk.

Business development companies (BDCs) remain one of the most efficient income vehicles in public markets, and August is shaping up to be a constructive month to lean into the space.

There is a principle I have followed for 30 years in this business. When the smartest credit team on the planet starts aggressively buying a beaten-down asset class they understand better than anyone alive, you do not sit on your hands and debate whether the timing is perfect.
