Runway Growth Finance Corp. issued new 7.75% Notes Due 2031, RWAYM, but I find them unattractive versus peers. RWAY's asset coverage ratio declined to 174% from 211%, and credit quality has shifted deeper into high-yield territory. RWAYM offers sector-average yield for its duration, but existing RWAY bonds and BDC peers provide better risk-adjusted returns.
