There are no rankings in this week’s newsletter because I am working to include ‘total return’ into the payout and valuation categories as well as a new series of articles with a detailed look BDC risk.  This series will be much more in-depth than in the past with portfolio vintage analysis, interest rate risk or opportunity, institutional and insider trends, portfolio credit quality detail, etc.
