Does Private Credit dig deeper than LevFin?
Currently at a super regional on the Levfin underwriting team. Was curious as to whether PC firms, senior particularly, dig deeper in names? I like when we get an iffy name and we have to dig deep to sell the credit to risk but it’s rare. Most of the time it’s so process heavy with multiple names at once not allowing a deeper dive. Would PC be any different? If not, what other jobs aside from distressed/mezz (don’t have the skill set) would allow me to spend more time on names?
Based on previous WSO threads, here's what you need to know:
Private Credit (PC) vs. LevFin: Private Credit can indeed involve a deeper dive into names compared to LevFin. While LevFin at a super regional bank might be process-heavy with multiple names at once, PC firms, especially senior ones, often require a more thorough analysis of each credit. This is because PC deals can be more bespoke and less commoditized than typical LevFin transactions.
Job Nature in PC: In PC, especially in senior roles, you might find yourself spending more time on individual names, particularly if the firm focuses on bespoke or complex deals. This deeper dive is necessary to understand the nuances and risks associated with each credit.
Alternative Roles: If you're looking for roles that allow you to spend more time on individual names and dig deeper, consider the following:
