About RENN Fund
Renaissance Capital Growth & Income Fund III, Inc. operates as a closed-end investment fund and business development company. The entity seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation and shareholder returns by investing primarily in privately placed convertible debt and equity securities of emerging growth companies.

The fund also offers managerial guidance to businesses in its portfolio.
The fund maintains a diversified portfolio of investments, having actively held positions in thirty portfolio companies at year-end. Its investments primarily focus on domestic businesses that are domiciled or publicly traded in the United States, alongside select international interests in China and Canada.
