We provide shareholders the opportunity to invest in smaller emerging companies and sharing the risks and potential benefits over a portfolio of companies while retaining the liquidity of a publicly traded stock.
Universal Capital Management Corporation is a publicly held venture capital company. We operate as a Business Development Company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
We have chosen to operate in a BDC structure primarily because it is the regulatory framework for publicly held companies specifically created to facilitate making venture capital investments in early stage companies.
Moreover, it allows for non-accredited investors to take part in the emerging companies growth prospects formerly permitted only to accredited investors. We provide shareholders the ability to retain the liquidity of a publicly traded stock, while sharing in the potential benefits of investing in primarily smaller emerging companies.
Our investment objectives are to achieve a high level of return and increased shareholder value by investing in emerging growth companies in a variety of industries. Our intention is to invest in companies that we believe have significant upside potential and we participate in the strategy and operations of such companies.
