Medley Capital structure loans and utilize debt/equity investing

Just a friendly bump!

Looks like a standard BDC IMO. I've heard the name a few times, but don't know much else other than that. Deal flow is non-existent on CapIQ and they don't list transactions or portfolio companies, which is odd.

I would look at other BDCs as comps for comp, hours, etc.

Thanks, this is really helpful. Does anyone else have further insight into Medley Capital and/or BDCs in general?

BDC's are actually not a bad place to work if you don't want to pull a lot of hours. I have several friends that work for a BDC and they are 9-6 jobs. At a junior level pay is OK - Decent base with little to no bonus, but they work on a lot of deals (they look at everything), including buyouts, refinancings, and even real estate. Tougher to make the transition to pure PE from a BDC role, but its happened, and Mezz funds seem to cherry pick BDC talent.

Yes, all I mentioned in the above post would be pre-mba associate related. The pay discrepancy is primarily due to the fund structure, types of investment, and being public. If you think about it in a very simplistic way, it makes a lot more sense: PE firms target 20%+ returns (equity investments), BDC's target 8-14%+ (primarily debt investments) - if all goes according to plan, who has more money at the end to pay people?

Thanks a lot, will probably get more info during the interview :)
