There is certainly no shortage of arguments why not to invest in BDCs. The sector median BDC trades at a 21% discount to NAV. For me, this provides an opportunity to scoop up unfairly punished gems.
The Fed's dovishness has been the key driver for the BDC sell-off. The idea is that lower interest rates should lead to lower dividends (i.e., BDCs cutting their dividend across the board). While it is a process that takes time, the current data show that many BDCs are well-positioned to safeguard their existing dividends.
The BDC sector average discount to NAV is 15%. Yet, there are some players that trade at even 30%+ discounts and thus offer very compelling yields. The logic would tell that such BDCs are certainly meant for pure speculation.
