Q4 volatility ‘another tantrum’ rather than start of a downturn: Golub

The firm’s new investments were still tilted toward unitranche loans, but senior secured loans made up a larger share than in the third-calendar quarter.

Policies of the Federal Reserve in recent years contributed to the mercurial markets that dominated the fourth quarter, Golub Capital BDC (GBDC) chief executive David Golub said on Thursday’s fourth-calendar-quarter earnings call.

“We think there is a stronger case for interpreting the recent volatility [as] another tantrum”, similar to the topsy-turvy markets in June and July, rather than a turn in the credit cycle, Golub said.
