Yield Hunting Part 23: Lock In Close To 9% From Great Elm Capital Baby Bonds
Great Elm Capital Corporation's baby bonds offer nearly 9% yields, making them attractive for investors seeking high returns from short-duration, exchange-traded BDC bonds. Despite being one of the smallest BDCs with high leverage and a mixed portfolio, GECC has shown recent stability and resilience versus peers.
