Why Golub Capital is not ranked
Golub Capital is listed here and not ranked. It is a direct lender to private equity-backed middle market companies, with a stated mission “to be best in sponsor finance”: it lends to the companies that private equity firms own, and is not one of those firms. The ranking compares buyout and growth equity firms. Golub is on the page because its posting carries the highest associate base of any direct lender here. Its home page gives “$95+ Billion of Capital Under Management”.
