In today’s video, which comes from a Patreon request, we’re going to compare the two most popular highyielding business development companies based on trading volume. When I’m referring to high yields, I’m talking about any stock that currently offers a yield exceeding 8%. The companies we’re looking at are Ares Capital, ticker symbol ARCC, and Blue Owl Capital Corporation, ticker symbol OBDC. For those who might not be familiar, Blu Owl recently went through a rebranding back in July, changing their name from Owl Rock Capital as well as their ticker symbol from ORCC. I’m a fan of both companies and am currently a shareholder in both stocks. But both investments have differences that have left some people wondering: which highyielding BDC would be the best option to pick?

So we’re going to compare both companies on various different metrics that are specifically important for these kinds of companies. Right from the getgo, however, it needs to be known that Blue Owl hasn’t been around nearly as long as Ares Capital. While Blue Owl Capital had its IPO in 2019, Ares Capital was launched all the way back in 2004. Yet despite Blue Owl being a brand new company, they’ve already become the third largest BDC, after FS KKR Capital in second and then Ares Capital in first. But still, there can’t be a comparison of overall returns since both had their IPO’s since that wouldn’t be fair. However, we will look at their most recent returns in our high interest rate environment as well as other financial metrics.
