2 BDCs That Qualify For The Retirement Income League
Published: May 23, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
Business development companies, or BDCs, are inherently risk-on assets that operate in a volatile segment (private credit). In most cases they do not go well together with retirement income portfolios. Yet, there are some rare exceptions.

Kayne Anderson BDC: Q1 Earnings Weaken Appeal (Rating Downgrade)
Published: May 23, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative
Kayne Anderson remains attractively valued in a premium BDC sector, but recent earnings and weaker distribution coverage warrant caution. Net investment income has declined, and dividend coverage is now tight, raising the risk of a potential cut if conditions don't improve. Portfolio fundamentals are strong with diversified, first-lien, floating-rate debt, but rising non-accruals and high rates present headwinds.

High Yield And Stress-Free Investing, 2 Picks To Get Both
Published: May 08, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
10%+ yields and stress-free investing tend to be mutually exclusive. Yet, when the base rates are this high and the uncertainty levels in the system are elevated, it becomes more possible to capture both aspects. While there will be more value traps than sustainable income-producers, by doing a proper fundamental analysis we can avoid some of these unpleasant risks.

Published: April 11, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha

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.

The Moment Of Truth For BDC Dividend Investors Is Close
Published: March 11, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative
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.
