BDC Rankings: September 2013 [Prospect Capital Corporation, Fifth Street Finance Corp., American Capital Ltd., Ares Capital Corporation, Main Street Capital Corporation, Blackrock Kelso Capital Corp., Apollo Investment Corp.] - Seeking Alpha

This is an outstanding article about business development companies.  Many of these companies pay a high dividend, such as Prospect Capital (PSEC), and yet some of the companies are safe to own.  I bought Prospect Capital myself after watching it for quite a while.  The company pays its 12% dividend in monthly installments.  I also believe that the best business development companies are safer than the REIT sector companies.

The author does a great job in analyzing the BDC sector.  He is worthwhile following at Seeking Alpha or at his website.  Business development companies are an excellent way to diversify your portfolio along with getting paid substantial dividends.
