Yield Hunting Part 30: Over 7% From Gladstone Investment

Gladstone Investment offers high-yield baby bonds with low duration, making them attractive for yield-focused investors seeking moderate risk. GAIN's portfolio is unique among BDCs, with 30% in preferred shares and a concentrated set of 25 investments, increasing both return and risk. We favor GAIN's baby bonds (GAINI, GAINZ) over common stock due to their stable yields (7.07–7.79%).

Yield Hunting Part 30: Over 7% From Gladstone Investment

Gladstone Investment: A Higher Risk BDC With Upside

I'm overweighting Gladstone Investment for its equity-driven returns, benefiting from a strong stock market and potential $1B+ investment portfolio milestone. GAIN's unique equity orientation and first lien focus position it for outperformance versus peers, especially as market conditions remain favorable. High non-accrual ratio is a risk, but resolving these could boost net investment income, improve dividend coverage, and enhance margin of safety.

Gladstone Investment: A Fair Price For A Great Business

Valuations across equities and bonds are stretched, making traditional asset classes unattractive and prompting a search for value in less crowded sectors. Top business development companies like ARCC and MAIN are currently overvalued, offering limited upside and heightened risk at current prices. Gladstone Investment stands out for its unique equity-focused BDC strategy, mature portfolio, and trades near book value, unlike its peers.

High Yields, Weird Prices

Similar preferred shares trade at materially different prices. One of these preferred shares is surprisingly expensive. One of the best BDCs is nearing an incredibly rare threshold.

A Brief Lesson On Huge Yielders

Charts? Dog photos? Me? An Opportunity to learn? So many reasons to like this article. Beware of extremely high return on equity figures. It looks great today, but you need to evaluate the source of the income.

Big Dividend Yielders At A Glance

We all learn over time. Some of us more than others. The agency mortgage REIT price-to-book ratios are getting really high, except for the weaker ones. That doesn't make the weak ones a great bargain. Main Street Capital stands out among BDCs for superior management and NAV growth, but that valuation just refuses to come down.

Gladstone's Common Vs. Bonds: Who Will Win?

Gladstone Investment is a strong BDC, but its common stock is risky due to high leverage, concentrated holdings, and a premium valuation. Baby bonds GAINI and GAINZ offer attractive yields (8.06%-8.16%) with lower risk and higher capital protection than the common stock. Leveraged baby bonds deliver a solid 10.74%-10.94% ROE, slightly below the common stock, but with much less volatility and risk.
