CION Investment Corporation: Deep Discount And Tempting Yield But Riskier
Income-focused investors could consider CION Investment Corporation for its high yields, but there are definitely risks to consider. CION offers a 12.55% dividend yield and trades at a significant discount of over 27% to its last reported net asset value per share. One of the risks includes higher relative non-accruals and significant payment-in-kind income, though they add that PIK is part of their overall strategy.

Invest In $95,000 BDC Portfolio For $10,000 Annual Income And Durable Compounding
Private credit/BDC investments offer exposure to structural growth and a significant portfolio yield enhancement. Yet, we have to be extra careful of not falling into value traps and investing in unsustainable yields, which are abundant in the inherently risky sector. In this article, I share a BDC portfolio that has ~10.5% yield, healthier fundamentals than the average in the space, and, importantly, meaningful price appreciation potential.

CION Investment: Double-Digit Yield Is Safer Than It Seems
CION Investment offers a high regular dividend yield exceeding 12%, supported by a solid dividend coverage of 124%, despite sensitivity to interest rate changes. The company primarily invests in first-lien debt, ensuring high repayment priority, but has seen a slight increase in non-accruals to 1.8% at fair value. CION's valuation is attractive due to trading at a discount to its Net Asset Value, though this raises concerns about its capital-gathering effectiveness.

Dividend Cut Alert: 13-14% Yields Getting Too Risky
Sky-high dividends of 13-14% are appealing but often come with significant risks. I discuss two stocks that have fully covered 13% and 14% yields that have a lot going for them and look deeply undervalued. However, I believe their dividends are at risk of getting cut soon.

CION Investment Corporation: 12.5% Yield, P/NAV Of 0.73x Makes It A Buy
CION Investment Corporation is a deeply discounted high yield play. The market is concerned about CION's PIK and portfolio volatility. Looking at the fundamentals, I simply can't rationalize the ~27% discount to NAV.
