Business Development Companies: Investing in Growth

CPE 1.0

Webcast

Webcast overview

KPMG U.S. International Corridors invites you to our next webcast in a series focusing on investment opportunities, challenges, and trends impacting multinational companies. Please join us for the latest developments and insights on Business Development Companies (BDCs).

What are BDCs? Why are they attractive investment vehicles? How can they help accelerate growth for small to mid-size companies?

  • BDCs are a special type of investment that combines the attributes of publicly-traded companies with closed-end investment vehicles.
  • Investing in BDCs gives public institutional and retail investors exposure to private credit investments.
  • BDCs are high dividend yield models, generally attractive to public investors, particularly retail.
  • Considered specialty finance companies, BDCs primarily make investments in small to mid-sized companies.
    • BDCs help these companies grow in the initial stages of development
    • They make a significant contribution to capital formation

The webcast will last approximately 60 minutes, including a question and answer session; and one continuing professional education (CPE) credit will be offered to U.S. participants who meet the eligibility requirements.
