As of March 3, 2009, FS Investment Corporation is not effective in Alabama or Arkansas.
Thank you for your interest in FS Investment Corporation. We are a business development company (“BDC”) that intends to provide debt financing to small and middle market U.S. companies. Our target companies will have between $10 million and $500 million in annual revenues, and annual operating cash flow of at least $2 million.
A BDC is a category of investment company created by Congress in 1980 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to facilitate the flow of capital to private companies. As a BDC, we provide individual investors with exposure to the private equity and private debt investment markets, which typically have been dominated by high-net-worth and institutional investors, such as pension funds and endowments. We believe that these investors participate in private equity and private debt investment funds for a number of reasons, including their use as a potential source of risk diversification within a portfolio and for their return potential over the long term.
In selecting our investments, we intend to employ a defensive approach focused on long-term credit performance and principal protection to provide our investors with current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation.
