Anyone know about investing in Business Development Companies, or BDCs?


A recent investment newsletter touts them as a "safe" way to "gain huge returns" due to favorable tax incentives and Congressional mandates for private lenders. I've been investing for 30 years and have never heard about these. Can anyone bring me up to speed?

They're a kind of mutual fund that specializes in investing in startup type companies. In other words, they're like a publicly traded form of venture capital. You should be cautious about investing in one, because they aren't well-known and reliable information about them may not be so easy to get. That's not to say they can't be good investments, but it will probably take some time and effort on your part to separate the wheat from the chaff. If you're not prepared to invest the time and effort to research them, just stick to well-known investments.
