Sounds too good to be true? Well, just take a look at Saratoga Investment Corp (NYSE:SAR). On Tuesday, November 27, the company announced that it had declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.53 per share, representing a two-percent increase from its previous payment.

Thanks for pointing out this BDC. As you mention, a 2% increase doesn't seem like much, but with the quarterly increases the annualized dividend growth is over 8% - not too shabby.
I'll be doing some research on SAR. Thanks for the heads up!
Cheers,
