We take a look at the action in business development companies through the second week of November and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. BDCs saw a 2% aggregate return on the week; TPVG surged nearly 20%, while PSEC dropped due to a bad quarter and distribution cut. Tax-loss season may pressure some securities; PSEC, HRZN, TPVG, TCPC, OCSL, GSBD, NMFC, and CSWC could weaken further by year-end.

BDC Weekly Review: Tax-Loss Season Is Approaching

Prospect Capital's 25% dividend cut, the first since 2017, shocked the market, causing a 15% stock plunge, but still offers a 12% yield. The dividend cut stems from a strategic shift to focus on higher-quality, secured loans, enhancing long-term return potential and portfolio quality. Despite the cut, Prospect Capital's low non-accrual ratio and excessive NAV discount present a compelling risk/reward opportunity for high-risk-tolerant investors.
