Barings Corporate Investors is a closed-end management investment company. Its investment objective is to maintain a portfolio of securities providing a current yield and an opportunity for capital gains. The Trust's principal investments are privately placed, below-investment grade, long-term debt obligations, including bank loans and mezzanine debt instruments. The Trust typically purchases these investments, which are not publicly tradable, directly from their issuers in private placement transactions, and the investments are typically made to small or middle market companies.
The net profit margin, or simply net margin, measures how much net income or profit is generated as a percentage of revenue. It is the ratio of net profits to revenues for a company or business segment.
The consolidated net income of a company includes the result that belongs to minority shareholders of subsidiaries, called in the Income Statement "Attributed to Non-Controlling Partners". The profit that matters to the investor of the company via the Stock Exchange and which serves as the basis for the payment of dividends is called "Attributable to Shareholders of the Parent Company". The higher the % of profit attributed to the parent company's shareholders, the better.
