SLR Investment Corp. (SLRC) is a Business Development Company (BDC) that provides financing solutions to middle-market companies. The firm’s investment strategy focuses primarily on secured debt, including first lien unitranche and second lien positions, alongside subordinated debt and minority equity investments. Its portfolio spans a wide range of industries, including healthcare, aerospace, financial services, and life sciences.
Operating as a BDC, the company typically lends to private firms that lack access to traditional public capital markets. By law, BDCs must distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders to maintain their regulated investment company status, often resulting in higher dividend yields compared to standard corporations. This business model relies on the spread between the cost of borrowing and the interest rates charged on its diversified loan portfolio.
