There seems to be the company with a 7.3% yeild (SLRC) a senior debt entity (SLRA) that's returning 8%+, and then SUNS, also senior capital (not debt) with a 7.8% yield?

Anyone seen a structure like this? Is this a dividend growth stock? What's going on and does anyone have this in their portfolio?

Here are some decent sources of information:

I recommend that you spend some time with articles written by BDC Buzz on Seeking Alpha: http://seekingalpha.com/author/bdc-buzz

Also Factoids on Seeking Alpha: http://seekingalpha.com/author/factoids?s=factoids

To my knowledge these two write the best free analytics on BDCs. Wells Fargo publishes high quality analytics for its brokerage customers.

To answer your last question, I own a number of BDCs, including ARCC, BDCL, HTGC, MAIN, NMFC, TCPC.
