Companies and asset owners seek distinctive solutions and partners aligned with their growth goals. Our Global Special Situations business stands out by taking a true partnership approach, tailoring capital and our engagement to meet the specific needs of counterparties. Our strategy is distinctive. We bring bespoke capital and strategic partnership; leveraging credit and equity expertise, corporate and real asset capabilities, and operating skill sets in one integrated team. This approach has allowed us to create strong outcomes for our clients on a global basis. This in turn has been the key enabler of $9.1 billion in new capital across our Vintage II Special Situations funds. Read about the milestone here: https://lnkd.in/eMm2MTdi

In a Q&A with 9fin, Angelo Rufino discussed the long-term, structural catalysts that create a compelling backdrop for our Special Situations strategy to bridge the gap between private credit and private equity. He highlighted our investments in IMS Nanofabrication and Virgin Australia as examples of this approach, demonstrating our ability to provide not just capital, but also substantial value throughout the investment process. He also shared thoughts on today’s opportunity set in Europe, our approach to distressed investing, and primary vs secondary market opportunities. Read the full Q&A here: https://lnkd.in/e74-wNqy
In Private Debt Investor's November 2024 issue, Barnaby Lyons and Andrew Schantz analyzed emerging demands and evolving market dynamics for direct lending and special situations across the APAC region. The joint interview provided insights on jurisdictional complexities and compelling opportunities for those willing to build scale and adapt to local idiosyncrasies. They shared how the region’s growing opportunities are fueling demand for tailored financing solutions that domestic banks often cannot meet. This gap has led to an underpenetrated private credit market in Asia, ripe for investment. #BainCapital #DirectLending #SpecialSituations #APAC

Thanks to Scarlet Fu and Romaine Bostick, CFA for inviting me onto to Bloomberg’s The Close to discuss the evolution of private credit. As always, I enjoyed the opportunity to talk about the state of the market and what lies ahead. We established our Private Credit business more than 25 years ago and continue to focus our efforts on the core middle market, where we have invested over $25 billion across more than 520 portfolio companies since inception. Our disciplined approach prioritizes deep analysis over market timing and return generation over asset accumulation.
