Bonus NAVigator: Gladstone's Bob Marcotte at the AICA BDC Forum

Bob Marcotte, President at Gladstone Capital Corp., says that government policies which encourage business investment and capital expenditures are creating outstanding conditions for the private credit market. In an interview at the Active Investment Company Alliance BDC Forum in New York City, Marcotte said that Gladstone is "very bullish" on the likely capital-expenditure cycle being spurred by tariff and near-shoring policies, but the veteran money manager also noted that BDCs have never been more competitive with the public markets, thans to rapid expansion in recent years, moving the industry to a point where "there's so much money in the private market today that it's almost as liquid as it would be if it were in the broadly syndicated market."
