However, these risks can be minimized by avoiding BDCs that are more likely to take one, or both of these value destroying actions. We analyzed 23 BDC’s and identified several that, due to their current capital structure, pose the biggest threat to your portfolio.

      Great stuff and a nice reference table in figure 1! Noticed the figure has some #N/A values. Is that because some of the senior securities were disclosed but not quantified in the filings? I’d think that the SEC would require full quantifiable disclosure of senior securities and unfunded commitments. Would like to get your insight on this. Thanks.
