Chris Oberbeck, chairman and chief executive officer at Saratoga Investment Corp. -- one of the industry's largest publicly traded business-development companies -- says that BDCs have been a relative sweet spot during this year's troubled times largely because they benefited from being on the front end of rate hikes and turning them quickly into cash on the bottom line. While the companies must also deal with higher costs, he expects the trend to continue for at least as long as the Federal Reserve keeps projecting higher rates, which he thinks will be well into 2023.
