How these pages are built, and what we refuse to publish

Everything here comes from one source: the Schedule of Investments in BDC 10-Qs and 10-Ks. Nothing is modelled, estimated or bought in. Where the filings are silent, the page is silent.

The publication bar

9,754 borrowers appear in the Q2 2026 filings and all 9,754 are listed on this site. 4,163 have enough filed detail for a full record. The bar asks whether the filings say enough to be worth reading, and nothing else.

It used to require two reporting lenders. That was a test of whether there was a comparison to sell, not of whether the filings said anything, and it withheld 2,344 borrowers carrying $100.4bn. A borrower with one lender now gets a page.

5,591 borrowers miss at least one. They keep a directory row and appear in search, with the filed total and the lender count, and pick up a record as soon as the filings carry more.

The sector test

Half the industry strings in these filings are not industries — they are schedule section headers, instrument types and accounting lines. Among borrowers that more than one lender does label, the lenders disagree on the sector 16% of the time. So a sector appears only where at least two filers' labels agree at NAICS sector level. Where they don't agree, the page shows no sector — and a borrower with one reporting lender never carries one, because a single label has nothing to corroborate it. 1,535 of 4,163 records carry a sector.

Seniority

Seniority is published as the filer stated it, taken from the filing itself — including where the filer stated it once, as a heading over the rows beneath. A position filed with no seniority is counted as unclassified, and is never put in a class no filer named for it. That unclassified value stays unclassified: it is not spread across the classes beside it.

What a filed spread has to survive

167 of 33,940 excluded

A spread is published only if it reconciles with the other numbers on its own row. Take the filed all-in rate, subtract the filed spread, and what is left has to look like the index the filer named — within 150bp of where the rest of the filings put that index at the period end. A spread of zero or less is excluded outright: a credit spread over a benchmark is a positive number. An index floor gets the same treatment against a stricter test, because a row states the identity itself: the all-in rate cannot be less than the floor plus the spread.

This cycle that excluded 167 filed spreads carrying $1.49bn of fair value. Where a borrower's only spreads are excluded, the page publishes no spread at all and says so in its absences block. We do not clamp, floor or round a number into looking plausible.
