It's All Downhill For Most BDCs, Here Is My Approach
Q2 earnings confirmed my call for a market rotation in BDCs; quality bias and selectivity remain critical for outperformance. Structural headwinds—spread compression, falling base rates, and thin dividend coverage—signal elevated risk of further dividend cuts across the sector. Current sector repricing is insufficient for broad new BDC allocations; most remain unattractive except for select names with strong fundamentals.

CION Investment: One Of The Deepest Discounts In The Game, I Remain Long
CION offers a compelling risk-adjusted opportunity with a ~30% discount to NAV and a nearly 14% yield, despite high risks. Dividend coverage is weak, with NII per share below the payout and significant reliance on non-cash PIK income, raising cut risk. Yet, Q2 2025 results showed NAV growth and strong portfolio metrics, suggesting some underlying portfolio resilience, despite leverage concerns.

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.
