Net Investment Income and Quarterly Distributions
Generated net investment income (NII) of $9.0M or $0.44 per share for the quarter and paid distributions of $0.75 per share during the quarter; company reaffirmed commitment to distribute required taxable income and set monthly distributions for calendar Q2 2026 at $0.20 per share.
Active Portfolio Deployment and Secondary Opportunities
Deployed ~$6.8M into two warehouse investments, purchased three new-issue equity positions at an amortized cost of $11.29M (weighted average cap yield reported 9.31% on those positions) and a secondary equity position at an amortized cost of $5.23M with a 15.6% yield; sold two equity investments with amortized cost $8.1M (avg yield 15.6%).
Refinancing Activity and Near-Term Yield Benefit
Refinanced liabilities on 10 equity investments and deployed an additional $4.48M related to those refinancings; completed high-cost refinancings lowered estimated near-term liability savings exposure (slide metric moved from 41 bps prior to 28 bps), and January portfolio gap yield ticked up to ~11.4% (from 11.0% at quarter-end).
Diversified CLO Equity Portfolio
Portfolio breadth: 97 CLOs across 30 managers with look-through exposure to >1,500 loan issuers spanning 30+ industries, providing material manager/sector diversification as a risk-management strength.
Strong Market Activity That Can Enable Refinance Opportunities
U.S. leveraged loan primary activity topped ~$1 trillion in 2025 and U.S. managers priced $55B of new-issue CLOs in Q4 2025, creating potential refinancing/reset windows and market liquidity that could improve equity arbitrage as liability costs stabilize.
High Implied Equity Yields on Selected Purchases
Some purchases reflected attractive implied yields: secondary equity purchase at 15.6% and management commentary indicating combined new-issue packages could generate mid- to high-teens effective yields when warehouse income is included.
