OCSL Stock Recent News

We recently topped up our allocation to Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation on the back of three key reasons. These reasons have to do with the stock's valuation, its significant upside potential and its higher-quality portfolio - an asset in a weak macro environment. We pared down our allocation to another BDC, Carlyle Secured Lending Inc., to rotate to Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation.

Business Development Companies (BDCs) offer high income flows for investors by pooling money and investing in small and medium-sized companies, often with high interest rates on loans. Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation is a BDC with a $3.2 billion investment portfolio, providing investors with strong income and decent growth since 2007. OCSL's diverse portfolio, growing dividend, and disciplined management make it a solid BDC for income-oriented investors, despite potential risks from economic decline or rising interest rates.
