GSO Capital Partners

摘要

Is it possible to make $15 billion in energy loans and still fly under the radar? Larry Tharp of GSO Capital Partners, the credit arm of investment giant Blackstone Group, thinks it may be so. "GSO is part of the strong franchise that is Blackstone, and GSO has great breadth and depth in the market," he says. "But in the small-cap upstream market, it's been my experience that GSO is not as well known. We've put about $15 billion to work in the energy space over the last 10 years. We are not new entrants to the sector. We have quite a successful track record, and as a result of that track record we are active in the market today at a time when capital has pulled back in the upstream space."
