BDC Dividend Cut Storm Likely Ahead
High-income investors face limited options for sustainable, high-yield investments, with traditional asset classes often highly correlated and yields rarely exceeding 7-9%. Business Development Companies (BDCs) offer attractive yields averaging 12.8%, with several high-quality players maintaining dividends even through challenging periods like COVID-19. However, rising interest rates pose a significant risk to BDC dividend sustainability, making it critical to reassess current exposures and avoid potential value impairments.

BIZD: Things Are About To Get Even Worse
VanEck BDC Income ETF offers diversified exposure to leading US BDCs, simplifying access to private credit and mitigating individual company selection challenges. Private credit is gaining traction due to higher institutional interest, but BDCs face risks from less mature companies and limited disclosure. Potential Fed rate cuts and macroeconomic headwinds could pressure BIZD's recovery, especially given its concentration in smaller, economically sensitive firms.
