This week we speak with Mark Gold, chief executive officer/chief investment officer, Hillmark Capital Management LLC and its affiliate NewMark Capital LC. Hillmark is a NY-based investment management firm focusing on broadly syndicated loans through CLO vehicles.

The Lead Left: Mark, it’s been a while since we checked in on you. How large is the firm now?

Mark Gold: We are $1.8 billion in AUM. When we spoke last we had two ‘1.0’ CLOs and I believe I had just bought out my partner. That was 2010. We’ve completed two transactions in the ‘2.0’ world. A third one is in the works.
