Rate hikes are back on the table. For most investors, that's bad news.
The BDC sector thrived post-COVID as low rates and strong underwriting supported robust dividends and performance. Rising rates initially sparked default fears, but BDCs benefited from higher coupons and stable funding costs, with limited non-accrual uptick. Since early 2025, most BDCs have cut dividends, and total returns now barely match inflation or T-bill rates.
