Bain Capital Credit - Distressed

I was wondering if anyone had experience with Bain Capital Credit’s Distressed arm. What types of deals have they done, are they looking to make control investments, what’s the culture of the team, and how does associate recruiting differ for distressed credit versus PE at Bain (specifically anyone with experience interviewing)?

 

A lot of what they do is managing workouts of credits originated/held by the rest of Bain capital credit that have gone sour. I’m not sure how much, if any, principal investing they do on their own.

Bain raised 3.2bn in 2020 to do distressed investing so assume at least a decent amount of principal investing is done by the team. I've seen a couple assets in market that they acquired. 

 

DSS is a specific fund group with $12.5BN AUM, they don't manage workouts of private credit / liquid credit positions. The main DSS fund has an extremely flexible mandate and can across the cap stack from stressed senior financings through to controlling equity positions / loan to own etc. Also active in real assets (aviation, shipping, RE, NPLs etc).
