Recovery of BDCA Investment Losses Updated on January 30, 2020
Have you suffered investment losses in Business Development Corp. of America a/k/a BDCA? If so, the securities attorneys of The White Law Group may be able to help you recover your losses by filing a FINRA Dispute Resolution claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.
Business Development Corporation of America (BDCA) is a non-traded business development company that invests in first and second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt issued by middle market companies.
The company commenced its initial public offering in January 2011 and raised $1.9 billion before closing the offering in April 2015. The annualized yield for distributions was 7.78 percent based on its then public offering price of $11.15 per share.
Unfortunately for investors, Central Trade & Transfer, a secondary market for private placements, recently listed shares of BDCA for $5.50 per share. That’s significantly less than the original purchase price of $10.00 per share.
