The private credit market has become one of the most significant segments of alternative investments, yet transparency into the underlying borrower universe remains limited. This directory aggregates every distinct borrower name from the Schedule of Investments filings of 42 publicly traded BDCs, creating the most comprehensive publicly available view of private credit borrowers.

With 23,006 distinct borrowers across 485,265 individual positions, this dataset reveals the true breadth and depth of middle-market lending. Each borrower entry includes aggregate fair value exposure, the number of BDC lenders, and sector classification where available.

This directory serves multiple use cases: credit analysts can identify which names are most widely held, risk managers can assess portfolio overlap, and business development professionals can map the competitive lending landscape. The data updates automatically as BDCs file new quarterly and annual reports with the SEC.

Understanding the BDC Borrower Universe

The borrower directory highlights several important structural features of the BDC market. The long tail of borrowers with single-BDC exposure suggests that despite concentration at the top, the broader market maintains meaningful diversification. However, the largest borrowers by aggregate exposure represent systemically important credits whose performance can influence multiple BDC portfolios simultaneously.

Sector concentration patterns also reveal the industries most dependent on BDC financing. Software and technology services, healthcare, and business services consistently represent the largest sectors by both borrower count and aggregate fair value. This sectoral tilt reflects the broader private credit market's preference for recurring revenue business models with predictable cash flows.

Methodology

Borrower data is extracted from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q) for all 43 publicly traded BDCs. Names are normalized for consistency but not deduplicated across different legal entity names for the same parent company. Fair values reflect the most recent filing for each BDC. Sector classifications are taken directly from BDC filings where available.
