With the markets exceptionally volatile this month, investors are looking for safe havens plays. BDCs are well known for their generous shareholder return -- either via dividend payments or share repurchase. Share repurchases have gained popularity among companies because there's a total flexibility with them, whereas dividend payments require a commitment. When a company is forced to cut or suspend its dividend payment, shareholders are extremely likely to express their discontent.
