VANECK BDC INCOME
VanEck BDC Income (BIZD) is an exchange-traded fund that provides exposure to Business Development Companies (BDCs) — firms that lend to or invest in smaller, private or mid-market companies. The ETF seeks to deliver current income by holding a diversified mix of publicly listed BDCs and typically using an options overlay (such as covered calls) to enhance distributions. Investors should know BDCs tend to offer higher yields but bring greater credit, liquidity and economic-cycle sensitivity than broad-market equities. BIZD may therefore be more volatile and income dependent on interest-rate and credit environments. Costs, including the fund’s expense ratio and option-writing expenses, can affect returns. This is general educational information, not financial advice: outcomes can vary, principal is at risk, and past performance is not a guide to future results. Consider whether a focus on high income and the specific risks of BDCs fits your objectives and tolerance; speak to a financial professional for personal suitability.
