Defends software skip, JV ramp timeline.
Q&A reinforced PFLT's disciplined avoidance of high-leverage software loans, with just 4.4% exposure limited to covenant-protected, cash-pay deals in regulated sectors like defense and healthcare—skipping the 'massive parade' of riskier peers' bets. Management pegged PSSL2's ramp to $1 billion in 12-24 months via M&A, modeling prior JVs to cover the dividend without rate-cut reliance. Unrealized losses traced to 2021 post-COVID vintages like apparel and car washes, with no major further markdowns foreseen amid rising M&A. Analysts probed AI risks and portfolio turnover; answers stayed qualitative. Investors watch M&A for JV growth and equity rotations.
