About Quantum International Income Corp.
Quantum International Income Corporation seeks opportunities to acquire control positions in businesses in order to generate capital appreciation and stable distributions for its shareholders in the future. Quantum seeks to acquire operating businesses with a proven track record, an opportunity for growth and whose management wishes to continue to operate the business going forward. The company’s investment approach is to grow through the acquisition of “platform” businesses that are consistent with its business strategy and acquisition criteria and then to continue to build revenues and earnings within these businesses. Potential acquisition targets may be private or public companies in a variety of industries, including Gaming and US Healthcare, thereby allowing for diversification. Once acquired, value will be created by seeking out consolidation opportunities or high growth, high margin organic growth opportunities, where the acquired businesses can maintain and develop the deep knowledge, expertise and understanding of their customers’ needs.
