Dividend investing provides a consistent income stream, beneficial for those seeking passive income, while growth stocks may require selling shares to realize gains. Seeking dividend income does not rule out focusing on the growth of the portfolio's nominal value, thanks to many funds that see their NAV grow over time. These securities offer a dual advantage: immediate returns through regular, periodic distributions, and capital appreciation through long-term NAV increase.

There is a principle I have followed for 30 years in this business. When the smartest credit team on the planet starts aggressively buying a beaten-down asset class they understand better than anyone alive, you do not sit on your hands and debate whether the timing is perfect.

Crescent Capital BDC trades near a 52-week low, offering a 13% yield and a deep 0.61x price-to-book discount. CCAP's first-lien-heavy, diversified portfolio and recent management fee reductions support strong NII-to-dividend coverage at 113.5%. Nonaccruals rose to 3.6% of portfolio value, mainly in healthcare, but management actively manages these with meaningful control.

Dividend strategies aim to generate steady streams of passive income over time. At the same time, they should not neglect capital growth, so demonstrating that dividend payouts do not erode their underlying value over the long term. A significant portion of my holdings currently show a positive NAV performance since their launch, which remains for me an equally important goal for the long run.
