Golub Capital has agreed to invest $200 million in Nassau Financial, an annuity issuer, and Nassau Financial has agreed to use Golub's investment services.

Golub is an asset manager known for running direct-lending programs and managing private credit assets.

Golub would get non-voting stock in Nassau, and the deal would make Golub Nassau's biggest minority shareholder. Golden Gate Capital continues to be the insurer's controlling shareholder.

Nassau could use Golub's cash to expand its own operations or make acquisitions, the companies said.

What it means: Some other annuity issuers said they have a hard time getting enough capital to take advantage of every annuity sales opportunity.

Golub may be fueling Nassau with the capital it needs to expand annuity sales.

The companies: Nassau, founded in 2015, now has about $24 billion in assets under management.

In February, it obtained a $150 million revolving credit facility and a $100 million term loan credit facility through RBC Capital Markets. The company said that deal would give it more flexibility and help it expand both its annuity business and its asset management operations.

Golub has about $70 billion of capital under management.

In April, Golub hired Jennifer Potenta to be its head of insurance solutions. Potenta previously was global head of private fixed income and alternatives at MetLife.

Deal details: The deal is subject to approval by regulators. The companies hope to complete it by the end of the year.
