Robert Grunewald, chief executive officer at Flat Rock Global discussing how the interval-fund structure provides stability that allows a 'non-bank bank' -- which is the way he describes his firm -- to trade off some liquidity in pursuit of higher fixed-income returns. Operating in 'middle market credits' and investing in first-lien credits, Grunewald says that despite changing interest-rate and inflation conditions it remains reasonable to expect a return in the 7 percent range for the year ahead.
