Business Development Company

Business Development Companies (BDCs)

Created by Congress in 1980, BDCs were established to encourage the flow of capital to small- and medium-size companies to help them grow. They provide investors with exposure to investments in predominantly private companies, which are typically hard to invest in directly. BDCs may help to provide diversification when added to an overall portfolio.
