Gladstone Investment Corporation (Nasdaq: GAIN), a business development company, is a private equity fund focused on acquiring mature, lower middle market companies with EBITDA between $4 and $15 million, attractive fundamentals and strong management teams. Investing alongside both management teams and independent sponsors, GAIN typically provides most, if not all, of the equity and debt capital required to close a transaction, which greatly increases certainty and speed of closing. Additionally, as a publicly-traded fund, we differ from other private equity funds in that we have no partnership end-of-life deadlines and can provide truly patient, long-term capital.
