Goldman Sachs raising $10 billion to build a senior debt fund, according to Henny Sender. The fund will buy senior loans, complimenting the mezzanine fund Goldman already has in place. It also seems that Goldman may use the fund to originate buyout loans, allowing it to commit to financing deals in a market where many investors have shied away.
Interestingly, the fund will be operated by Goldman's private equity arm, rather than its lending unit, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, according to the report.

Um, GSCP is Goldman's private equity arm.

Guest, there is no mistake. Had Carney not put the comma between "unit" and "Goldman Sach Capital Partners", then he would have made a mistake. He's saying the PE arm is GSCP.

GS will always have more conflicts of interest than even they can count. Yes, I know, GS counted to infinity .... twice.
Hope to live long enough to see the curtain thrown back on the evil empire.

WillieBanks, it's 5:46 here (trust me!). Wouldn't it then have said "...the fund will be operated by Goldman's private equity arm, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, rather than its lending unit..."?
Carney, can we get a ruling?

Yeah what's with this shitty grammar Carney, this is the last straw shitface! Go back to college!
