Taking on higher risks can lead to wealth creation; it's crucial to understand what you're buying and why.

BIZD: For Lazy Investors Seeking High Dividend Yield
I will give a "HOLD" recommendation to VanEck BDC Income ETF due to its inclusion of underperforming BDCs that I would never invest in individually.

Diversification can be better achieved by selecting individual high-quality BDCs, avoiding the drag from underperforming components within BIZD.
