BDC Investors: Prepare For An Imminent Market Rotation
Despite my long-term bullish stance on BDCs, I believe the sector is primed for a correction and may deliver subpar total returns ahead. In fact, I would suggest total return focused investors rotating out of the BDC space to avoid a 1-3 year period of underperformance. Since my strategy is focused on high durable cash flows and long-term NAV stability, I remain invested in BDCs (although, with a prudent strategy).

Even though the asset class is relatively shallow and niche-like, we can still find some strong brand names operating here. Theoretically, this should provide an advantage in terms of accessing sizeable and high-quality private credit investments.
