Founded as Sankaty Advisors in 1998
Our Credit business was founded in 1998 on the premise that the same successful models of rigorous analysis and in-depth diligence developed in Bain Capital’s Private Equity business could be applied to credit investing.
We began investing in liquid and structured credit in 1998. Our Liquid and Structured Credit strategies invest in leveraged loans, high-yield bonds, CLOs, asset-based finance, and structured credit products in both single-sector and multi-asset approaches. Our CLO capability extends to large-scale issuance and management.
Our Private Credit strategy also began in 1998. We have become a global leader in the middle market direct lending space. Our Private Credit Group provides senior secured and junior capital financing, focusing investments in companies in the core middle market.
Bain Capital Special Situations was incepted in 2018 within Bain Capital Credit. Special Situations has evolved from a dedicated credit strategy to a more diversified, all-weather program.
