Carried interests in debt funds

Hey Guys,

I was wondering how is carried interest structured in debt/credit funds (unitranche, mezzanine, second lien...) ? I guess that since IRR are lowers, the hurdle (generally 8% in PE funds) is also lower? How much is it? And then what about the 20/80 split? Is is still the same?

As an investment team member, what kind of multiple can you expect on your invesment then?

Thanks a lot
