Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. (GSBD)

Executive Summary

We at T&T Capital Management have been studying Goldman Sachs BDC (GSBD), an externally managed business development company sub-advised by Goldman Sachs Asset Management that lends to middle-market companies, almost entirely through senior secured first-lien loans. The investment debate here is unusually clean: GSBD trades at roughly 0.74x net asset value (NAV) and yields around 14% to 17% on the base dividend, optically one of the cheapest, highest-yielding names in the BDC universe. The catch is that the discount is the market’s verdict on a multi-year erosion of credit quality and book value.
