Barings BDC is registered as a closed-end, non-diversified investment company. Co.'s primary investment objective is to generate current income by investing directly in privately-held middle-market companies to help these companies fund acquisitions, growth or refinancing. The BBDC stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the BBDC stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2016 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the BBDC annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
