A BlackRock Group private bond fund expects its performance to be dragged down by a series of non-performing loans, leading to a 19% downward adjustment in its net asset value. A filing by BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. shows this publicly traded mid-market loan fund anticipates its net asset value per share for the three months ended December 31 will be adjusted down to between $7.05 and $7.09. The fund's net asset value per share was $8.71 as of September 30. Part of the fund's underperformance is attributed to its exposure to e-commerce aggregators—companies that buy and manage Amazon sellers—and the troubled home improvement firm Renovo Home Partners. As of Friday's market close, the fund's market capitalization was approximately $497 million.
