Stock price performance and related measures for 28 publicly
traded BDCs are summarized in the adjacent table. BDC share
price performance was generally mixed during the quarter, with
winners modestly outnumbering losers against a backdrop of
healthy gains in major equity indices and rallying bond prices.
Median dividend yields for the group of BDCs fell from 8.8% at
the prior quarter end to 8.4%, and the median price/book ratio
pushed back over 100%, increasing from 98.3% at March 31, 2014
to 100.7% at June 30, 2014.
The bold line in the adjacent table divides the overall group
into two sections, consisting of companies with share price
appreciation above or below the median, respectively.
Tech-focused names (HRZN, HTGC and GSVC) led the way,
recovering after falling out of favor in the first quarter. The June
removal of BDCs from Russell investment indices seems to have
had little to no effect on returns during the quarter, following
some downward pressure on prices upon announcement of the
changes in the first quarter.
For the balance of 2014, we expect BDC financial performance will
be driven by pricing on new originations and credit performance
of existing assets. The intersection of the Fed’s continuing zero-
interest rate policy and more capital allocated to the middle
market will likely force lenders to either accept lower yields
on new loans at a given level of underwriting risk, or to accept
greater risk in an effort to maintain yield. Of course, BDC investors
are also hungry for yield so share prices may be able to withstand
pressure on asset yields, although at the expense of total return.

Mercer Capital's Business Development Companies Quarterly Newsletter | Q2 2014

  • 1. Stock price performance and related measures for 28 publicly traded BDCs are summarized in the adjacent table. BDC share price performance was generally mixed during the quarter, with winners modestly outnumbering losers against a backdrop of healthy gains in major equity indices and rallying bond prices. Median dividend yields for the group of BDCs fell from 8.8% at the prior quarter end to 8.4%, and the median price/book ratio pushed back over 100%, increasing from 98.3% at March 31, 2014 to 100.7% at June 30, 2014. The bold line in the adjacent table divides the overall group into two sections, consisting of companies with share price appreciation above or below the median, respectively. Tech-focused names (HRZN, HTGC and GSVC) led the way, recovering after falling out of favor in the first quarter. The June removal of BDCs from Russell investment indices seems to have had little to no effect on returns during the quarter, following some downward pressure on prices upon announcement of the changes in the first quarter. For the balance of 2014, we expect BDC financial performance will be driven by pricing on new originations and credit performance of existing assets. The intersection of the Fed’s continuing zero- interest rate policy and more capital allocated to the middle market will likely force lenders to either accept lower yields on new loans at a given level of underwriting risk, or to accept greater risk in an effort to maintain yield. Of course, BDC investors are also hungry for yield so share prices may be able to withstand pressure on asset yields, although at the expense of total return.
