PC SA to AM Credit Research

Hi guys,

I  recently got interested in AM, specifically these research roles at asset managers. I was wondering if my PC direct lending SA experience would carry any value if I wanted to make a switch to AM research FT. Further, would this type of move even be possible and make sense? 

I was also wondering how many asset managers have private credit divisions (GSAM has a private credit investment team).

Thanks for the help!
