Need Help with Private Credit Pitch

Have an interview with a Canadian Private Credit fund, and they I’ll ask me to pitch a credit investment. All of their deals are typically Term Loans or Unitranche loans in a specific industry.

what exactly to pitch — I don’t think I can just pitch a public company’s unsecured notes or bonds since that would be more of a general credit pitch, not what they actually do. On the other hand, if I try to pitch a term loan, I can’t exactly name a specific company since deal names/details aren’t usually public.

Has anyone here interviewed for private credit or currently works in PC who can shed some light on how to approach this? What type of pitch would make sense in this context?

Don’t pitch a random bond. Instead, pick a public company that has issued secured loans, leveraged loans, or unitranche debt in the past.

Good candidates:

A sponsor-backed company (look at Apollo, KKR, Brookfield deals).

A mid-market public company with meaningful leverage.

Since deals are private, it’s fine to use public data (10-K, MD&A, investor presentations) and frame it as if you’re proposing a private loan structure.
