Today I want to provide a list of BDCs that have announced dividend increases and/or supplemental dividends and which ones to look at for your portfolio.

Almost all BDCs make variable-rate loans to their client companies. The BDC rules also require a BDC to maintain a low debt-to-equity capital structure. The structure allows a BDC to generate growing net interest income as interest rates increase.
