Bain Capital Credit’s Global Head of Private Credit on COVID’s Long-Term Impact

Michael Ewald, the global head of private credit at Bain Capital Credit, joins the podcast to discuss how private credit has fared during the pandemic and emerging trends he’s watching within the asset class, including a shift toward greater protections for lenders.

Ewald, who serves as portfolio manager for the Middle Market Credit and Senior Direct Lending strategies at Bain, and as a member of the firm’s Credit Committee, also speaks about his group’s strategy during the crisis, how they’ve applied lessons learned through previous downturns, and the ways he expects the events of 2020 to shape the investment environment in the future.

At the end of the conversation, Ewald talks about the role that environmental, social and governance factors play in Bain Capital’s investment decisions, as well as the firm’s commitment to racial equity and social justice.
