The Business Development Company (BDC) sector is currently trading at a 29% discount to its net asset value (NAV), levels last seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. This discount persists even though the current economy is much stronger than during that period. Conservative scenarios involving software write-downs and redemptions do not justify such a wide sector-wide discount. However, the discount is uneven across the sector, with some popular BDCs being avoided by investors despite bullish views on the sector overall.
