ARCC 9% Yield, 20 Years of Dividends & My Covered Strangle Strategy

Before covered call ETFs became mainstream, income investors didn’t sit on the sidelines waiting for the next trend. They used structures built for one purpose: to distribute cash. For decades, vehicles like Business Development Companies, Real Estate Investment Trusts, Master Limited Partnerships, and Closed-End Funds formed the foundation of income-focused portfolios. Different structures. Different risks. Same objective — consistent cash flow. In this video, we break down Ares Capital Corporation (ARCC) — the largest publicly traded BDC in the U.S. — and a long-time staple in income portfolios since going public in 2004. We’ll cover: • What a Business Development Company (BDC) actually is • Why BDCs must distribute 90% of taxable income • ARCC’s dividend history through 2008 and 2020 • Total return vs. income-only returns • The risks (including 40–80% drawdowns) • How to potentially enhance yield with a covered call overlay • Using puts to enter positions intentionally • And how a covered strangle can be used as a structured averaging strategy With a current annual dividend of $1.92 per share and a yield near 9–10%, ARCC offers strong cash flow — but it hasn’t been a smooth ride. We’ll look at the volatility, the drawdowns, and how to approach this as an income engineer rather than a speculator. This is not about chasing price appreciation. It’s about building cash flow with intention. ⚠️ Disclaimer: I am not a financial advisor. This video is for entertainment and educational purposes only.
