Energy Embargo

FS Energy and Power Fund announced in an 8-K today that it has decreased the price at which it it issues shares under its distribution reinvestment plan from $6.50 per share to $6.10 per share, or a drop of over 6%.  I view the prices at which business development companies (BDCs) issue shares as part of their distribution reinvestment plans as a proxies for their net asset values.  FS Energy and Power is an energy sector BDC, and is, apparently, facing the same industry-wide problems as other leveraged loan lenders, which I mentioned late last week
