The reason for the enthusiasm for our pick remains its focus on the so-called lower middle market. More than 200,000 private firms fit this definition, and they are all scrambling to find capital in the current environment.
Our pick has long been able to tap into this need, becoming one of the largest non-bank lenders in this niche and producing plenty of profits from its loan portfolio. Moreover, our pick has continued to be tapped by other alternative asset managers and PE groups to help manage portfolios of direct middle market lending. This has produced even more management fees and gains for our pick.
As if that wasn’t enough, our pick’s focus on floating rate senior loans have only produced more cash flow as interest rates have continued to increase.
All in all, our pick has plenty of growth potential amid a wonderful environment. Investors already treated to plenty of dividend growth should expect more of the same.
