Which Private Credit Lenders Face the Steepest Penalty Risk as SEC Scrutiny Climbs 28%?

Prospect Capital's $8.9B asset base, 127 portfolio companies, and history of prior SEC actions create 3x the compliance surface area of Main Street Capital's cleaner book. Short PSEC vs long MAIN targets 400bps of yield spread compression over six months as compliance costs surface and potential penalties force a dividend cut.
