Gladstone Alternative Income Fund

Gladstone Alternative Income Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company structured as an interval fund. Its primary objective is to achieve and grow current income while also seeking long-term capital appreciation. The fund focuses on investing predominantly in debt securities, targeting established lower and middle market private businesses in the United States. Typically, its portfolio allocation comprises approximately 85% in debt instruments—such as directly originated loans, broadly syndicated loans, and commercial real estate loans—and 15% in equity securities. By making loans and taking equity stakes in businesses that demonstrate stable earnings and cash flow, the fund aims to support reliable distributions to its shareholders. Managed by Gladstone Management Corporation, the fund is designed to avoid high-risk, pre-revenue, or early-stage enterprises, emphasizing assets that would be regarded as investment grade if rated. The interval fund structure provides liquidity through quarterly repurchase offers, allowing investors periodic opportunities to redeem shares at net asset value. Its role in the financial market is to provide access to alternative income streams, particularly for investors seeking exposure to private credit and equity opportunities not typically available through traditional mutual funds or public markets.
