Special sits has gone very well. Recently raised $9B across NA/Europe/Asia, which is one of the largest special sits vintages in the world. Have heard culture/hours are pretty rough though, at least compared to the rest of Bain.

NAPE not doing as well (though not poorly for their size), fundraising-wise. Heard they might be flat fund-over-fund. Believe their returns are pretty good still. Bain is a private partnership, so returns are more important to them than just raising more and more money compared to lots of other MFs (obviously fundraising still very important).
