Solar Capital is a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company. Co.'s investment objective is to generate both income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. Co. invests primarily in middle-market companies in the form of senior secured loans, stretch-senior loans, unitranche loans, mezzanine loans and equity securities. In addition, Co. invests a portion of its portfolio in other types of investments, which include, but are not limited to, direct investments in public companies that are not traded and securities of companies located in select countries outside of the U.S. The SLRC YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the SLRC YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether SLRC YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the SLRC YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
