The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since 2023, increasing the upper bound to 4.00% from 3.75%. This shift affects private credit ETFs like VanEck BDC Income ETF (BIZD) and Putnam BDC Income ETF (PBDC), which saw shrinking payouts over the past year due to falling short-term rates. Because loan coupons reset quarterly based on short-term benchmarks, the impact of the rate hike will appear in distributions over the next quarters. Investors should watch upcoming payouts to see if they rise, reflecting higher loan income, while also noting potential risks from increased borrower costs and defaults late in hiking cycles.
