KBRA assigned a BBB- rating with a Stable Outlook to MSC Income Fund (NYSE: MSIF) on its $150 million, 6.83% senior unsecured notes due September 2029. The notes are issued in two $75 million tranches, with the first closing on September 1, 2026 and the second expected in October 2026, subject to customary conditions.
KBRA cites MSIF’s $1.4 billion diversified portfolio across 151 portfolio companies, heavy concentration in senior secured first-lien loans, low leverage of ~0.9x (with a medium-term target of 1.15x–1.25x), and a funding mix that will be about 45% unsecured debt pro forma. Liquidity at 2Q26 included roughly $182 million of available credit lines and $28.1 million of cash against ~$115 million of unfunded commitments.
Constraining factors include elevated non-accruals of 1.9% at fair value and 5.8% at cost, BDC structural constraints, and macroeconomic risks. KBRA does not anticipate a near- to medium-term upgrade; downside could follow a severe U.S. downturn that weakens asset quality or raises leverage.
