FDUSG - Growing Dividends During A Pandemic: Capital Southwest

• When the pandemic hit last year, this higher-yield sector took a huge pricing hit with dividend yields soaring to 30% to 40%.
• I was actively making purchases during this volatility as I have identified the Business Development Companies ("BDCs") that will outperform during an economic downturn.
• Clearly, the market was expecting dividend cuts that never came for most higher-quality BDCs, and some have recently been increasing regular distributions and/or paying supplemental dividends.
• BDCs are still yielding 10%, including CSWC discussed in this article, but these yields will likely come down as investors realize the strength and resilience of this sector to outperform during economic challenges.
