My understanding is culture is pretty chill on a relative basis. This is due to the nature of what they are investing in, which are performing, down the fairway credits for sponsor financings that don’t have a lot of underlying complexity to unpack. I believe comp is below the Ares / Golubs of the world but don’t know how comp changes have trended following the leadership exodus a couple years back. This is a lifestyle firm and a place that would support a life outside of finance while also offering comp that is better than other “chill” exits like corporate development

 

any updated comp numbers for private credit or similar groups at Barings? It seems like their comp is still below market based on the above 

 

Ares / Golub are not the "market" for on the run sponsor backed lending. They're top of market, but they are also on the harder end of shops to work at. Barings will probably be slightly better than average but they will not come close to sniffing Golub comp. These are generally lifestyle jobs and all the economics are held by their capital providers or a handful of guys that won't let you have any just for being an associate (and even directors get the cold shoulder on true economics).
