Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Jordan Wathen]

  Is it time for a stock buyback at Prospect Capital  (NASDAQ: PSEC  ) ?

  When business development companies trade substantially below their last-reported net asset values, or NAV, repurchasing shares can be quite beneficial for shareholders. A repurchase allows a BDC to essentially acquire a portfolio of loans and investments at prices below their stated value.
