We've covered many dividend paying stocks involved in various industries in our articles, but what if you wanted to get broader exposure and gain income from small, non-publicly traded companies? That's where Business Development Companies - BDCs - such as Gladstone Investment Corp. (NASDAQ:GAIN), come in. BDCs typically invest in smaller non-publicly traded companies, mainly by making loans to them.
GAIN's business model is a bit different - it not only makes loans to these companies, it often takes an equity position as well. Interest Rate Exposure: GAIN's Floating Rates loans comprise 80% of its Debt Portfolio, which will help GAIN to actually increase its income in the coming rising interest rate environment. With its 9.69% dividend yield, we've added GAIN to our High Dividend Stocks By Sectors Tables, in the Financials section. GAIN pays monthly dividends, and raised them to $.0625 from $.06 in March 2015.
