I ran the 15 most widely held BDCs through a 3-part safety filter — NII coverage, NAV trend, and dividend history. Only 3 passed all three tests. Most income investors pick BDCs based on yield. A 14% yield looks incredible until the dividend gets cut. Today we look at the engine, not the price tag. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 THE 3-PART SAFETY FILTER ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✅ Test 1 — NII Coverage Ratio (must be 1.15x+) ✅ Test 2 — NAV Trend (stable or growing) ✅ Test 3 — Dividend History (no repeat cuts) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📊 THE 15 BDCs WE TESTED ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ARCC · MAIN · HTGC · OBDC · BXSL · GBDC · KBDC · CSWC · PSEC · FSCO · PFLT · FDUS · GLAD · GAIN · TPVG ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱ TIMESTAMPS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 00:00 — Only 3 Passed 00:33 — Why Yield Alone Is Dangerous 01:30 — The 3-Part Safety Filter Explained 03:14 — Test 1: NII Coverage Results 04:57 — Test 2: NAV Trend Results 06:11 — Test 3: Dividend History Results 07:18 — The 3 BDCs That Passed All Tests 09:16 — The Honorable Mention (ARCC) 10:00 — How To Run This Filter Yourself ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 RUN THIS FILTER ON YOUR OWN HOLDINGS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ DividendSphere has NII coverage ratio, NAV per share trend, and dividend safety scores built in for every major BDC.
