Some of these are equity players that do selective debt deals, but high in the stack, which makes for more interesting portfolios. Can't say how all of these pay though:

Cirrus

Davidson Kempner

Cain

King Street

BDT/MSD

PIMCO

Monarch

Paramount

Taconic

Feels like everyone right now has a debt fund/can use equity fund dollars to do preferreds or mezz.
