What leadership is saying
“In the third quarter, our high performing debt portfolio generated adjusted net investment income of $0.54, which represented 18% year over year growth driven by a 27% increase in interest income, and continued to amply cover our base dividend. With originations roughly equal to repayments and realizations, our portfolio remains well diversified and healthy from a credit quality perspective”
