An Alternative View
Private Equity is in their DNA

Bain Capital Credit’s teams are structured into a network that enables them to respond to varied investment opportunities, regardless of region, industry or position in the capital structure, which increases the breadth of our pipeline. Their investment professionals are organized in teams of specialists based on either industry type or product type, which they believe enables them to field the optimal team to evaluate every deal.
Strategies Across the Credit Spectrum
Bain Capital Credit deploys capital across a range of strategies with flexible risk/return targets, liquidity parameters and vehicle structures that are tailored to meet investors’ needs.
