Business Development Companies (BDCs)
BDCs lend to private, mid-sized US businesses and pass most of the interest income to shareholders. Yields of 8-12% are common, many pay monthly or add supplemental dividends, and credit quality is the metric to watch.

FAQ
How are BDC dividends taxed?
Mostly as ordinary income because they come from interest, although BDC dividends may qualify for the 20% Section 199A deduction. Many investors hold them in IRAs.
What is a supplemental dividend?
A BDC that earns more than its regular dividend can pay out the excess as a supplemental or special dividend. Our history tables flag unusually large payments as specials so they do not distort the yield.
