CEF Advisors' Scott breaks down how bad news has impacted BDCs
About this episode
John Cole Scott discusses the impact of recent market issues on business development companies and their performance.
John Cole Scott, President of CEF Advisors and the Chairman of the Active Investment Company Alliance , looks at the recent issues in business-development companies, which got hammered in March as the market punished software investments, including lenders who made loans to software firms. While BDCs rebounded in April, they remain significantly down, and Scott discusses how the companies with the biggest troubles have higher yields and bigger discounts, but the top performers are delivering a better return on equity and are the better, safer bet while the industry gets through the current rough patch.
