Steven Bavaria, from Inside the Income Factory, discusses credit assets like high-yield bonds, senior loans, and BDCs for stable, high-yield income, favoring closed-end funds for their resilience and discounts.

BIZD: Packed With Unsustainable Yield Picks, A Clear No Go
BIZD is the largest BDC-focused ETF. Yet, I would say that it presents a very suboptimal offering. For example, more than 50% of BIZD's AuM is subject to a material dividend cut risk.

My Top 2 BDC Picks Now
We are in a 'hated bull market' with record highs despite weak economic fundamentals and tight fixed income spreads. High-risk assets like BDCs are especially vulnerable in this environment, making them less attractive compared to traditional value sectors. I expect most BDCs to underperform going forward, given market highs and unfavorable economic undercurrents.

Attention High-Yield Investors: More BDC Dividend Cuts Are Likely Coming
The BDC sector faces mounting risks from a weakening economy, high consumer debt, and the potential for further dividend cuts as interest rates decline. Recent dividend cuts by several BDCs highlight the sector's vulnerability, despite some names maintaining resilience and attractive valuations. Spillover income offers only limited protection; tight dividend coverage and rising non-accruals signal caution for income-focused investors.

Discounts And 10%+ Yields: 2 BDCs To Buy Now
I believe BDC investors face higher odds of unfavorable returns over the next 1-3 years due to macro and sector-specific headwinds. Key risks include a negatively sloped interest rate curve, tight spreads, thin dividend coverage, and historically low non-accruals likely to mean-revert. My strategy: short- to medium-term profit seekers should exit BDCs, while long-term income investors should upgrade to higher-quality names.
