Fidus Investment Corporation has a growing investment portfolio and a moderate pay-out ratio based on adjusted net investment income. The BDC comfortably covered its dividend with adjusted NII in the fourth quarter and pays special dividends to distribute excess portfolio income. The stock is selling at a 2% discount to net asset value and offers a well-covered 9% yield.

Fidus Investment has underperformed the benchmark by 230 basis points since the publication of my relatively conservative article back in December last year. Yet, now after assessing the Q4 results and factoring in the improvements within the key fundamental metrics, I have decided to assign buy for FDUS. In this article, I synthesize Q4 results and justify why I am upgrading the rating from hold to buy.

Adams Diversified Equity Fund

For those who invest for dividends, the goal is to look for securities that can guarantee sustainable dividends and distributions over time. Choices about how to deploy the income generated by those instruments are personal and depend on each investor's needs, financial means, and age.

My 9% Income Portfolio-In Search For Happiness

Total Return is the actual rate of return for an investment over a given evaluation period, typically one, three, five, or ten years. The Total NAV Return is the sum of all dividends/distributions, assuming they are reinvested, plus the change in the NAV of the fund, be it positive or negative. However, managing our portfolio is not only about applying financial rules, because it is not certain that dividends can and will always be reinvested.

Fidus Investment: Great Long-Term Holding For Income Investors?

Fidus Investment Corporation faces concerns over overpaid dividends and potential lower NII in a low-rate environment. I'm considering modifying my stock classification to sell if the margin of dividend safety erodes. Limited income and dividend growth potential moving forward leads to a hold rating for FDUS.
