@cvarela Would recommend using the 30-day SEC yield, not the TTM yield when looking at bond funds. SGOV is at 3.55%. Give JPST a look - 4.10% 30 day SEC yield, if can tolerate a smidge of duration and credit risk
@markcecchini@J_Turnbow It also uses up the kidsโ Roth IRA contribution limit for the year the 529 -> Roth rollover occurs so sort of a wash from that perspective as well. Altho still nice that the kid would be able to direct more into 401k or personal savings.
@RevGroupLLC@LeylaKuni This. And an important point of clarification โ there is no โqueueโ in terms of exit priority. If tenders are oversubscribed relative to the 5% limit, investors are treated equally and filled on a pro rata basis. E.g., if agg tenders = 10% NAV, all tendering invs get 50% back
@GrantChambers91@LeylaKuni Since March 2017 inception thru 9/30/25 โ OBDC II delivered 9.11% annualized vs 9.19% for the CDLI. I.e., it has done just fine in delivering the asset class return.
@LeylaKuni@KcvincentV@MFintwit FWIW - Cliffwater funds are purely RIA & Instโl, no wirehouse or direct retail. Steve Nesbitt is truly an academic, not a salesman. He quite literally wrote the book on private debt for Wiley. In contrast to other firms focusing on the wires/retail and listing on CAIS / iCapital.
@lebron_ex@LeylaKuni Itโs not an interval fund or a tender offer fund. Itโs a BDC. Interval funds have mandatory liquidity under Rule 23cโ3(b); BDCs donโt, since theyโre BDCs under the โ40 Act and can use discretionary tenders under 23cโ3(c) instead.
@EricBalchunas@JSeyff Making the ETF argument feels somewhat redundant when investors already have access to liquid, publicly listed BDCs that own similar middleโmarket loans as private BDCs, though not 1:1 wrt structure and underlying
@markcecchini Would of course put you in pro rata land on the IRA side but only applicable to folks who build up large after-tax earnings from not knowing about the mega backdoor (or, the plan previously didnโt allow it)
@markcecchini Big edge too at AMZN/MSFT, etc w/ auto daily in-plan Roth conv on after-tax
Also overlooked: if the plan allows inโservice distributions of afterโtax, can clear out that bucket (basis โ Roth IRA, earnings โ traditional IRA) so the mega backdoor going fwd has no pro rata.
