Overall, total investments in portfolio companies at fair value increased by $21.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 after factoring in debt repayments.

Golub, CEO with the company. “The new deal pipeline and scheduled closings for the month of October indicate a strong start to the current quarter,” he added, but clarified that the ongoing market volatility could impact new originations.
