Business Development Company (BDC) Funds Overview

What is a BDC?

A business development company, or BDC, is a closed-end investment company that was created by Congress in 1980 in order to assist middle market companies to meet their capital needs and grow. Most BDCs are publicly traded, but some BDCs are often private vehicles.  BDCs can help investors generate current income, offering access to institutional loan investments. Some BDCs are offered privately, which makes them similar to private institutional funds in the sense that they do not have a daily fluctuating market price. At the same time, they have investor-friendly features that can make them more appealing than an institutional fund, such as smaller minimum investment amounts, shorter hold periods, and 1099 reporting. Other BDCs are publicly traded companies, which can be helpful from the standpoint of accessibility.
