Gladstone Investment operates as an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. Co.'s investment objectives are to: achieve and grow income by investing in debt securities of established businesses and provides its stockholders with long-term capital appreciation in the value of its assets by investing in equity securities of established businesses, generally in combination with the aforementioned debt securities. The GAIN stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the GAIN stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2017 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the GAIN annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
