Gladstone Investment Corporation (Nasdaq: GAIN), a business development company, is a private equity fund focused on acquiring mature, middle market companies with $20 to $100 million in revenue, 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.
