All Together Now

The week was not a good one for the major indices, all of which were down in the period. The BDC sector was not spared, with both indicators we use for price and total return in the red.

The UBS Exchange Traded Note, which includes most every public BDC – with the ticker BDCS – was off (0.25%). Likewise, the all-inclusive Wells Fargo BDC Index was down by (0.74%).

Thirty one individual BDC issues dropped in price, and just fourteen were unchanged or increased. The week before 28 issues had increased in price and 37 the week before that.

High-yield extended its June rebound with increasing vigor over the past week amid retail cash inflows and declining interest rates, and the new-issue machine kept churning out maturity-extension focused refinancings, peppered by a few M&A situations.
