April net investment activity reached a multi-year low as rising stock valuations and BDC sector weakness prompted a cautious approach and selective BDC purchases. Focused April allocations on Ares Capital, Blue Owl Capital, and Hercules Capital, yielding a 7.5% average on new investments despite sector headwinds. Dividend income set a modest April record at $990, up 3% year-over-year, with BDCs contributing 27% of Q2 year-to-date dividends but facing potential further cuts.

Hercules Capital (HTGC) now trades at 1.2x NAV, offering a compelling entry point for income-focused investors.
