S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX)

As mentioned in previous newsletters, investors should take advantage of general market weakness to purchase BDCs especially higher quality companies that usually trade at a premium with lower than average yields. One of the general market indicators that I watch is the S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) that is already close to 20 which is when I prefer to make BDC purchases.




  
Buy on the Dips

As you can see in the following chart, BDCs have had three major dips over the last 12 months and they coincide with the VIX above 22.




Changes in BDC Yields & NAV Multiples

The good news is that investors are able to get higher yields as shown in the following table.
