Outlook of Capital Solutions Groups

Just saw a landmark deal by KKR and Neuberger Berman Capital Solutions where they invested in Convertible Pref in Datavant, New Mountain Port Co.

Many funds now have this group, including buyout shops like Warburg, GTCR and Harvest

What do people think of the trajectory of capital solutions given the slowdown in buyout activity and many funds having DPI issues? Is this a better place to be for an associate post-banking?

What are the top players in the space? How do the above compare with Apollo HVF, Bain Special Sits, BX Tac Opps or MS Hybrid Value?
