Recent BDC Pricing Volatility
Readers may have noticed the recent volatility in BDC pricing over the last two weeks. Please see "BDC Market Update: October 9, 2018", that discussed current yield spreads, sector oversold/overbought measures, and recently improved BDC fundamentals including higher portfolio yields, improved net interest margins, improvements in underlying general economic fundamentals including unemployment rate, labor force participation, consumer consumption and corporate earnings.
However, I am expecting temporarily lower BDC prices for the reasons discussed in the update including widening of rate spreads and general market volatility driving ‘flight to safety’.
