PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd.
PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd., often known by its ticker PFLT, is a type of investment firm called a Business Development Company (BDC). Its main activity is providing loans to privately-owned, medium-sized businesses in the United States. A key part of its strategy is focusing on 'floating rate' loans, where the interest charged can change over time, often in line with benchmark interest rates. The company's goal is twofold: to generate a steady income for its investors and to achieve capital appreciation, which means growing the value of its investments. For investors, this presents an opportunity to gain exposure to the American middle-market, a vital part of the economy. As with any investment, the value can go down as well as up, and past performance is not a guide to future returns. This type of investment may not be suitable for everyone.
