Palmer Square would give Goldman CLO scale and Apollo-style baggage | IFR (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Goldman Sachs could add instant CLO scale by buying Palmer Square Capital Management. A deal might also increase Goldman’s risk premium as its business mix edges closer to alternative asset managers like Apollo. Goldman is reportedly in talks to buy Palmer Square, a US$37bn asset manager with a focus on collateralised loan obligations. The two firms declined to comment on a possible deal, but fee and earnings multiples indicate that Goldman might end up paying around US$1bn for the CLO manager.
