Description: GSBD Goldman Sachs BDC

Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. (GSBD) is a business development company that focuses on providing debt and equity financing to middle-market private companies, primarily in the United States. The firm originates a range of investment structures, including senior secured, junior secured (such as first lien, unitranche, and second lien), and unsecured debt such as mezzanine financing, with selective equity investments. It targets companies with EBITDA between $5 million and $75 million, with typical investment sizes ranging from $10 million to $75 million.

As a BDC, the company operates under a regulated structure that allows it to pass through taxable income to shareholders, provided it distributes at least 90% of its earnings-a defining feature of the business development company model. Listed on the NYSE since its 2015 IPO and classified within the Asset Management & Custody Banks sub-industry, GSBD leverages the Goldman Sachs brand and platform to source and underwrite middle-market credit opportunities.
