BDC Software Exposure
A HF friend of mine had his analyst go through the 10-K's of the top 22 public BDCs. The analyst used Pitchbook and Claude to categorize every loan by industry.
According to their findings, $OTF had highest software exposure 55% by Pitchbook and 65% by Claude .. not surprising at all.
But 2nd biggest exposure to software was $TSLX at 46% by Pitchbook and 57% by Claude .. pretty surprising.
Do your own work but transparency is coming to PC one way or another.
I don't have positions in either $OTF or $TSLX.
