The column all the way to the right is the dividend yield of each company while the numbers with the letter M next to it is the market cap of the companies. Although these capital groups differ in the services they offer, all are in the realm of banking and investing. For example, GAIN, whoms parent also operate two other publicly held companies operates as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Company was established for the purpose of investing in subordinated loans, mezzanine debt, preferred stock and warrants to purchase common stock of small and medium-sized companies in connection with buyouts and other recapitalizations. The Company also invests in senior secured loans, common stock and, to a much lesser extent, senior and subordinated syndicated loans. Its investment objective is to generate both current income and capital gains through these debt and equity instruments. In September 2011, the Company acquired SBS Industries, Inc.
Another company, Kohlberg, operates similar. Kohlberg Capital Corp. is an internally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that operates as a business development company. The Company originates, structures and invests in senior secured term loans, mezzanine debt and selected equity securities in privately held middle market companies. Its investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation from its investments. It defines the middle market as comprising companies with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $10 million to $50 million and/or total debt of $25 million to $150 million. The Company also has a wholly owned portfolio company, Katonah Debt Advisors and its affiliates (collectively, Katonah Debt Advisors), manage collateralized loan obligation funds (CLO Funds) that invest in syndicated loans, high-yield bonds and other corporate credit instruments. In February 2012, the Company acquired Trimaran Advisors, L.L.C. (Trimaran Advisors).
While we have just recapped GAIN and KCAP, other high yielding capital groups in the micro cap sector give higher returns. Please remember that micro cap stocks are very risky and only professional traders should invest after reading and inspecting company prospectus and financials. Safe Investing.
