Chicago Atlantic BDC: Why High Yield Investors Should Consider This 11% Yield
Chicago Atlantic BDC (LIEN) has shown solid growth despite market volatility, driven by their acquisition of Chicago Real Estate Finance's loan portfolio and strong pipeline. The BDC's portfolio is defensively positioned with first-lien loans and minimal non-accruals, offering flexibility outside the cannabis sector and resilience against economic downturns. LIEN's near 10% yield and 15.5% discount to NAV are attractive, but risks include potential recession impacts and uncertainty around cannabis rescheduling.
