Gladstone Investment is a business development company. We began trading on Nasdaq on June 23, 2005 under the trading symbol GAIN. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital gains through debt and equity investments in small and mid-sized businesses in the United States.

Initial investments of our public offering have been made in senior syndicated loans. We have employed this strategy in order to more quickly invest our initial capital to generate current income. Our longer-term primary investment focus will be situations involving buyouts and recapitalizations of small and mid-sized companies with established management teams.
