Payout risk check
BDCX's last 12 distributions were fairly stable (consistency score 83/100).
Its share price moved -28.1% over the past year.
A 20.0% yield paired with a falling share price is the classic sign of NAV erosion: part of each distribution may be a return of your own capital rather than income the fund earned, and the share price can keep grinding lower even while the headline yield looks attractive.
