Insights

The Q3 2024 results show mixed performance. Net investment income decreased to $0.37 per share from $0.42 in Q2, primarily due to non-recurring income in Q2 and reduced invested assets following realizations. The Trust experienced net capital losses of $2.99 million, though partially offset by unrealized appreciation.

Portfolio activity remains robust with $45.9 million in new investments across private and public markets. The Trust maintains conservative leverage with $30 million in borrowings and $5.2 million in cash. NAV slightly decreased to $17.20 from $17.22, mainly due to dividend payments exceeding income.

The focus on first-lien senior secured middle-market investments and high-quality businesses suggests a defensive positioning, though the increased capital losses warrant monitoring.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Board of Trustees of Barings Corporate Investors (NYSE: MCI) (the "Trust") met on November 14, 2024, and would like to report its preliminary financial results for the third quarter of 2024.

Key Highlights:

Commenting on the quarter, Christina Emery, President, stated, "The Trust earned $0.37 per share of net investment income, net of taxes, for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $0.42 per share in the previous quarter. The decrease in net investment income was predominantly due to non-recurring income (repayment of past due income) received in the second quarter, coupled with net realization activity in the second quarter that decreased total invested assets. The Trust has maintained its dividend this quarter, which is further confirmation of our credit philosophy, where we focus on leading businesses backed by strong sponsor ownership and conservative capital structures. This approach has historically generated stable returns and relative stability during economic stress. During the quarter, Barings continued to drive origination flow into quality, 1st lien senior secured middle-market investments as well as capitalizing on public fixed income investments where applicable. When constructing portfolios, we focus on investing in high-quality businesses that are leaders in their space and offer defensive characteristics that will allow them to perform through economic cycles.”

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Trust reported total investment income of $9.3 million, net investment income of $7.6 million, or $0.37 per share, and a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $7.6 million, or $0.37 per share.

Net asset value ("NAV") per share as of September 30, 2024, was $17.20, as compared to $17.22 as of June 30, 2024. The decrease in NAV per share was primarily attributable to the quarterly dividend payment exceeding net investment income by $0.03 per share, partially offset by net realized and unrealized appreciation of less than $0.01 per share.

The next scheduled meeting of the Board of Trustees will be held on December 12, 2024.
