Updated Thoughts on Canyon Partners?

What are people's thoughts on Canyon Partners? Last threads trace back to 2020 and a lot has changed, most recently their "strategic minority investment" from Dai-Ichi. Terms are a little wonky. For a fund of their size, not sure how to interpret this...

Anyone have perspective on their reputation, comp, hours, culture, etc.

This in no way provides you with the information you're looking for... but the one cool aspect of my otherwise thoroughly unimpressive job is that I interact with some of the higher-profile hedge funds managers with some frequency. As far as personalities go, Josh Friedman is (comparatively) pretty laid-back and cool. Very intelligent too.

To be fair, my positive opinion of him is more a function of my distaste for some other hedge funds managers, however. Haven't really crossed paths or email chains with Mitch.
