Fidus Investment: Fed Pivot, Solid NII, Set For A Premium Valuation (Rating Upgrade)

Fidus Investment achieved a record portfolio value in Q2, driven by disciplined first lien, variable-rate loan originations, and robust credit underwriting.

I Was Wrong: Fidus Investment Deserves My Money (Rating Upgrade)

I was wrong about FDUS. It managed to outperform many of its peers. FDUS demonstrates stable net investment income, with regular dividend coverage at roughly 114% and supplemental dividends enhancing returns. Net asset value remains resilient; the recent NAV drop is attributed to special dividends, not portfolio losses, and non-accruals are now at zero.

2 Higher Yield Plays With Decent Valuations To Consider

Dividend investors can often be grouped between high-yield investors and dividend growth investors. Today, I'm looking at the higher-yielding income-focused investor and providing two potential opportunities. One of these names also gets to deliver a higher relative yield but has over 35 years of consecutive dividend raises under its belt as well, a blend of both.

My Income Portfolio: The Knight's Move

Inspired by the horse race in the 2026 Palio di Siena, I made a financial move that I hope will be just as clever as the knight's move in chess. I decided to close out two positions in my Cupolone portfolio that I wasn't entirely convinced about, raising cash to reinvest when the opportunity arises. The purpose of this move is to use this liquidity in securities with better overall NAV performance and a greater likelihood of long-term success.

Two 11%+ Yielding External BDCs Built For Long-Term Compounding

Externally managed BDCs face structural challenges, notably high fees and misaligned incentives, making them difficult portfolio inclusions. I favor internally managed BDCs for long-term value, but selectively own some external names as well. There could be two motives for owning external ones: 1) tactical trades (high risk, high retur) and 2) long-term income compounding.

The BDC Asymmetry That Nobody Prices In

Business Development Companies (BDCs) offer high yields but carry significant, often overlooked risks tied to their underlying leveraged loan portfolios. Negative asymmetry in BDCs arises from management fee structures, which erode upside while exposing investors to nearly all downside, justifying persistent NAV discounts. Investors frequently misjudge BDC discounts, expecting P/NAV convergence, but structural risks and poor track records often warrant these discounts.
