Nice to see actual numbers instead of vibes. One thing jumps out in your second column: coverage drops from 96% to 74% purely because of the spread. You're shedding assets that earn 10.57% to repay debt that costs 7.5%, so that deleveraging costs about $13M of NII a year, roughly $3M a quarter, and your table shows exactly that (14.2M to 11.0M). That's why BDCs hate paying down debt when they trade this far under NAV. On paper, buybacks at 0.46x NAV do more per dollar than retiring 7.5% paper.

It’s roughly 5% of my portfolio it’s a BDC and a conservative income play not going to swing much in volatility and in price but has payed it dividends in the worst of times has continued to chug along so I add and leave drip on and it continues to grow and grow I’m More a value dividend investor with some growth funds/stocks, my 3 largest position are SCHD, BRK.B, FSPGX with LLY next then some swing trades and a few dividend more dividend plays like O, VICI, and a couple long term buy and hol

the 8% yield with 3% growth sounds nice in paper but the top comment is right about risk, especially with those covered call funds in the 70% part. they cap upside so if market runs hard your total return will lag and the distributions might not grow like you expect i also wonder about the MLP and BDC concentration, those can cut distributions fast in a bad credit cycle, MAIN is probably the best of the BDC crowd but still not immune for a 30 year retirement this feels a bit too clever,

CSWC is a BDC . Keep in mind BDCs by law produce ordinary dividned. So you are paying significantly more in taxes than you do with QQQI and SPYI. In fact withQQQI and SPYI ROC dividends you have likely not paid any taxes on the dividned income. Aditianlly you are taking single stock risk. And you have less diversification than you get with a ETF. You better off sticking to dividned funds. Now if you want BDC dividends in your portfolio I would invest in PBDC. It is a ETF that holds abou
