Leveraged Loans to Private Credit

Hi everyone,

I recently received an offer to join an asset manager investing in the European syndicated leveraged loans market. They don't do CLOs, they directly take positions post syndication in leveraged loans. I am currently in debt advisory, and wondering if moving to a fund like that might make a later move to pure private credit / direct lending more difficult in the future, given that this position would be more towards the asset management side and deals with liquid credit. Any input is welcome !
