Main Street Capital Corporation (MAIN) is issued by Main Street Capital. Internally managed BDC (business development company) providing debt and equity capital to lower-middle-market private companies. Pays a regular monthly dividend (~$0.26/share, raised modestly each quarter) plus a supplemental cash dividend roughly every quarter (~$0.30/share) when earnings allow. Combined annualized yield typically 7-8%. Unlike most BDCs, MAIN's internal management structure keeps operating costs low and historically its NAV has grown rather than eroded.
