The broader income market has been in melt-up mode over the past year. Credit fundamentals are strong, but investors should be cautious and adjust their portfolios to avoid chasing yield and overextending on risk. Three types of opportunities to pursue in the current market are relative value, margin of safety, and dry powder holdings.

Business Development Companies are facing growing headwinds right now that make me relatively bearish on the sector. That being said, they still offer high dividend yields and stable cash flows through senior secured loans, making them suitable holdings as part of a well-diversified income portfolio. I list the five best BDC dividends right now along with an honorable mention.

Charlie Munger emphasized the importance of reaching a $100,000 investment portfolio to generate substantial returns through compounding. A 7% dividend yield from a $100,000 portfolio can provide a $7,000 passive income stream, covering 1-2 months of living expenses and delivering five-figure annualized total returns. We provide a sample $100,000 passive income snowball portfolio, divided into sections including ETFs, individual high-quality infrastructure, BDCs, REITs, and MLPs.

High-yielding stocks can dramatically improve your retirement. Living off of passive income makes budgeting easier, reduces the sequence of returns risk, accelerates the retirement timeline, and enhances peace of mind. We share three 9-10% dividend yields that are very unlikely to be cut and have strong growth momentum right now.

BDCs underperformed the broader income market due to worse-than-expected results from companies such as HRZN, TCPC, and FSK. The reinvigorated bank lending picture is squeezing out direct lenders like BDCs, with banks regaining lost ground. We take a look at results from BXSL and HRZN.

As we reach the 15th anniversary of the 2009 market lows, I am thankful to be a dividend growth investor. February brought several dividend increases to the portfolio, but there will be none in March. While the market as a whole is overvalued, several high-quality dividend growth companies look interesting at today's prices.

The BDC sector is facing growing headwinds and is not a great place to invest right now. However, it remains an attractive place for investors focused on generating lucrative passive income streams. I explain why BXSL's dividend is the best in the BDC sector.

Why 10.5%-Yielding Blackstone Secured Lending Has The Best BDC Dividend

Blackstone Secured Lending reported solid earnings in 4Q-23, with net investment income exceeding dividends, leading to a 1% increase in net asset value per share. The BDC boasts exceptional credit quality, with a focus on Senior Secured Debt and First Liens, distinguishing it from other BDCs with diverse portfolios. Despite trading at a premium to net asset value, Blackstone Secured Lending's 10% yield, strong non-accrual position, and robust investment commitments make it a compelling buy.

We take a look at the action in business development companies through the first week of February and highlight some of the key themes we are watching.
