Credit Snapshot

How the market and the balance sheet read GSEC as a credit: NAV per share is the Q2 FY2026 book value ($20.03) from its SEC quarterly filing — for a BDC, book value is NAV. Fair values underneath are the manager’s own estimates.

MetricValueWhat healthy looks like
NII Return on Equity9.5% GAAP NII on FY2025 FY-end NAVWhat the portfolio EARNED on book value, before mark swings — steadier than mark-driven ROE. BDCs typically land high single digits to low teens; internally managed books keep more of it.
NAV Total Return-8.7% FY2025: ΔNAV/share + distributions 3-yr ≈-17.2%/yr compoundNAV change plus distributions, per share — what the book earned independent of market sentiment. Sustained positive NAV total return means the credit book is creating value, not just distributing it back.
Leverage (Gross Debt/Equity)0.46x 3rd pct of 18 upper-MM peersMost BDCs run 0.8x–1.25x debt-to-equity; the regulatory ceiling is 2.0x.
Asset Coverage315%A gross total-debt coverage read; the statutory ratio excludes SBA debentures, so an SBIC’s 10-K figure can differ. Healthy BDCs sit well above the 150% floor.
Top-5 Borrower Concentration52% of portfolio FV ≈ 45% of Q2 FY2026 NAV largest: Chase Industries, Inc. (dba Senneca Holdings) (12.3% of FV)Measured against NAV, not just portfolio value: leverage means one borrower’s writedown hits book value harder than its portfolio share suggests. Diversified BDCs typically keep any single name to a low single-digit share of the portfolio.
Debt Marked Below 9017.8% (6.4% below 80) of marked debt FV (100% coverage)Loans marked below 90 cents on the dollar are the book’s watchlist; a growing tail often precedes non-accrual.
PIK Income Share33.8% of debt FV carries a PIK component 96th pct of 23 upper-MM peersInterest paid “in kind” adds to the loan instead of paying cash; a rising PIK share is the classic early sign of borrower stress.
Floating-Rate Mix62% floating, mostly SOFR of rate-classified debt (100% coverage); the rest fixedFloating-rate loans reprice with their benchmark (mostly SOFR), so a high floating share means portfolio income rises when the Fed hikes and falls when it cuts — the book’s rate sensitivity in one number.
Non-Accruals24.1% of debt FV (100% coverage)Parsed from the filing’s own non-accrual footnotes. 1–3% of portfolio fair value is normal; 5%+ is a warning sign. Trend11 qtrs
Fee Structure — manager economics, from the same annual filing
Base Management Fee$3.2M ≈0.66% of FY2025 FY-end total assets, our calculation — contractual fees accrue on average gross assets as filed, gross of any fee waiversExternal BDC base fees typically run 1.0–1.75% of assets — charged on ASSETS, not equity, so leverage raises the fee bill on the same NAV.
Incentive Fee— not tagged in the company’s XBRL filings; see the fee note in the 10-KIncome incentive fees typically take 17.5–20% of pre-fee investment income over a hurdle. A capital-gains fee in an up-mark year is not recurring income economics — watch the split.

Where this book is marked differently

1 of this BDC’s borrowers is marked 10+ points away from another BDC’s mark on the same borrower and seniority, as of the same quarter. Level-3 fair values are model-based — each manager marks to its own model, so dispersion is information about assumptions, not proof either mark is wrong.

  • Octagon Towers LLC — marked 99.0 here (filed 2026-08-11) vs 81.9 at GSBD (filed 2026-08-06) — a 17.0pt gap, same seniority, period 2026-06-30.

Marks reflect each BDC’s own fair-value estimates as reported to the SEC, not traded prices. Private-credit loans are predominantly Level 3 under ASC 820 — valued from unobservable inputs and determined in good faith under the oversight of each BDC’s board (often by the adviser as valuation designee), so figures are estimates as of the period end each filing reports, not its filing date, and are not directly comparable across managers. Informational only; not investment advice or a valuation.

Quarter-over-quarter changes

Borrowers added to and dropped from the book between the 2026-05-12 and 2026-08-11 filings, and the largest weighted-mark moves on borrowers held across both. Aggregated to the borrower so a company’s exposure is counted once even when its loan tranches are re-cut quarter to quarter; entries and exits under $0.5M are omitted as parse noise. 3 mark moves held out as suspect (over 15 points in one quarter, a mark at exactly par, or a mark outside 30–105) rather than ranked.

About Silver Capital Holdings LLC

Silver Capital Holdings LLC (GSEC) is a publicly traded Business Development Company (BDC) — essentially a publicly listed fund that lends money to mid-sized private companies. In plain English: BDCs raise money from public investors and lend it to businesses that are too small for Wall Street banks. To qualify for pass-through tax treatment, they distribute at least 90% of their taxable investment income to shareholders, which is why BDC yields are often 8–12%. Silver Capital Holdings LLC discloses its full loan portfolio through SEC filings.
