   1.                                                   We note your response
to our comment 1 stating it would be difficult to reconcile the
                                                        average portfolio
yield, average cost of financing, and net spread to similar GAAP
                                                        measures. We also note
your disclosure stating that the average portfolio yield and
                                                        average cost of
financing measures include a non-GAAP measure in their calculations.
                                                        Please tell us why you
believe you can present ratios where a non-GAAP financial
                                                        measure is included in
the numerator and/or denominator without also presenting the ratio
                                                        calculated using the
most directly comparable GAAP measure(s) with equal or greater
                                                        prominence. Also,
please tell us what consideration you gave to providing reconciliations
                                                        of the numerators and
denominators of these measures. Please refer to Question 102.10(a)

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information, page 11

2.       We note your response to our comment 2 stating that the litigation
expenses pertain to
         ongoing litigation with PRCM Advisers LLC. It appears that such
litigation expenses
         occurred in both 2022 and 2023. Please tell us why you believe this
adjustment is
         appropriately labeled as "Other nonrecurring expenses" given its
ongoing nature. Please
         refer to Question 102.03 of our Compliance & Disclosure
Interpretations for Non-GAAP
         Financial Measures and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.
3.       We note your response to our comment 3. Please address the following
regarding your
         non-GAAP financial measure labeled Income Excluding Market-Driven
Value Changes:
             Please revise your disclosure in future earnings releases to more
clearly describe the
             measure. Please refer to Question 100.05 of our Compliance &
Disclosure
             Interpretations for Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
             We note your response states that the purpose of presenting this
measure is to allow
             investors to better understand the sources of returns from the
Company   s investment
             portfolio, operating expenses and tax expenses. As this measure
appears to
             isolate income excluding market-driven changes, please tell us
what consideration
             you gave to supplementing your presentation with the other sources
of returns (i.e.
             market-driven changes) that are not presented in this measure.
         In your response, please provide an example of any intended revisions
to your disclosure.
       Please contact Babette Cooper at 202-551-3396 or Jennifer Monick at
202-551-3295 if
you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related
matters.
