BANX: Why Bank Reg-Cap Shouldn't Be Overlooked By Income Investors

ArrowMark Financial offers exposure to regulatory capital relief securities, yielding 9.1% and trading at a 6% discount. BANX's portfolio is high quality (BB+ to BBB-), but transparency is poor, and fees are high at 3.3% of assets. Relative to BDCs and CLO equity funds, BANX appears expensive and delivers lower net yields after fees and leverage.
