BDC Software Exposure A HF friend of mine had his analyst go through the 10-K's of the top 22 public BDCs. The analyst used Pitchbook and Claude to categorize every loan by industry. According to their findings, $OTF had highest software exposure 55% by Pitchbook and 65% by Claude .. not surprising at all.
