BC Partners Credit

BC Partners Credit is an investment firm launched in 2017 as a complementary strategy to its parent company, BC Partners. The firm specializes in identifying attractive credit opportunities across various market environments, often focusing on complex market segments. It provides flexible investment solutions, opportunistically allocating capital to fill financing gaps left by other sources.

The firm offers bespoke financing solutions to both sponsor and non-sponsor owned middle-market companies primarily in North America and Europe. Its investment strategy is built around three key themes: private lending and structured equity, specialty lending which includes asset-backed financing, and dislocated liquid credit. This approach allows BC Partners Credit to invest across the capital structure and generate risk-adjusted returns through economic cycles.

While specific portfolio companies for BC Partners Credit are not extensively detailed, the firm's approach involves providing capital solutions through privately negotiated debt and structured/minority equity, as well as engaging in short-duration and tactical investing in non-par syndicated credit, restructurings, and bridge finance.

The BC Partners Credit team is led by experienced professionals such as Ted Goldthorpe, who co-founded and heads the credit division, and Henry Wang, also a co-founder and Partner. Both are based in New York and bring extensive backgrounds from firms like Apollo Investment Corporation and Goldman Sachs, demonstrating deep expertise in credit investment and opportunistic strategies.
