CEF Advisors' Scott breaks down how bad news has impacted BDCs

from The NAVigator

John Cole Scott, President of CEF Advisors and the Chairman of the Active Investment Company Alliance, looks at the recent issues in business-development companies, which got hammered in March as the market punished software investments, including lenders who made loans to software firms.
