How do you feel about BDCs as dividend income options?

@MoneyGame you should check $ARCC and $MAIN they’re amazing dividend payers with a long positive track record and stock appreciation (better total return even than this ETF). They’re basically loan facilitators to small-mid cap companies and distribute aprox 80% of their profits by law (they have good tax incentives to do so)

@Coyote980 I check on Seeking Alpha, good source of info for any american stock.
$GBDC is not a bad BDC, they’be been growing fast their porfolio of loans and income, but forecasts for next years are not as good as it has been on the income side, as interests are expected to go down (to be seen). Their Yield is higher than usual, due to supplementary distributions, but I don’t specially like it when Yield on a BDC is more than 10% as it usually means a risky play.
They have a good diversification in their portfolio (software being 27% of it and then healthcare 7%) and Top10 borrowers are 13% and top25 are 27% of it, so not concentrated risk.
In any case, I usually go for the safe plays, wich are $ARCC and $MAIN . Ares being the biggest BDC and being arround during many crisis, so good track record and increasing value of the stock over years even with a 10% yield (for comparison, $ARCC is 35% up, $MAIN is 97% up and $GBDC is 6% down). i also like $HTGC for their focus on tech and biotech. 6% down is not bad for an 11% dividend income yearly, but I still prefer to pay a premium NAV.
Many BDCs tend to go down long therm, as they distribute a high yield and don’t have big margin for failures, if an important borrower bankrupt it can has a big impact on the portfolio. Also if there is a crisis the price goes down fast and strong so carefull if you don’t have risk tolerance (they also go up fast when it’s clear they’ll survive). That’s why I usually look at their long therm performance.
I’d wait for a small “crack” to go into BDCs, you’ll get high return on the dollar if you wait to that moment and choose wisely.
