Bain Capital

Structural dynamics in the financing and M&A markets continue to drive a robust opportunity for a special situations strategy that touches equity, debt, real assets, and everything in between. In a conversation with Bloomberg, Angelo Rufino detailed the wide variety of opportunities we see to offer bespoke capital solutions and partner differently with growing businesses.

Earlier this month, 20 of our colleagues joined thousands of cyclists to participate in the 44th Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC). The PMC is an annual bike-a-thon across 163 miles of the Commonwealth with 100% of every ride-dollar raised going to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The bike-a-thon raises more money for charity than any single athletic fundraising event in the U.S. and has raised over $1 billion for life-saving cancer research and patient care since its inception. With more than $1 million raised so far this year, Team Bain Capital riders and donors have proudly contributed more than $34 million to the PMC over the course of our history.

Our Liquid and Structured Credit teams have enjoyed an active first half of 2024 as credit markets continue to perform well amid strong?investor sentiment, increased capital markets activity, and a supportive earnings season. We continue to have a favorable view towards corporate and structured credit, broadly. CLOs, high-yield bonds, and bank loans have all delivered strong returns in 2024, in part driven by supportive supply-demand market dynamics. We look forward to continuing to apply our active, fundamental approach to investing in syndicated, multi-asset, and structured credit markets.

In a by-lined article with Private Debt Investor, Andrew Schantz offered insights on the burgeoning private credit environment in the APAC region. ? Andrew observed that a lack of private credit penetration combined with growing demand for non-bank financing solutions has created a massive opportunity in a market nearly equal the size of North America and Europe combined. ? He noted that a platform with regional breadth and local depth is required to effectively partner with the scores of growing businesses requiring capital, and to navigate the complexities inherent to each country. ? #BainCapitalCredit #PrivateCredit #AsiaLending
