The fund, which has so far backed five businesses and expects to add another 50 to its roster, attracted commitments from endowments, foundations, pension funds, family offices and HNWIs.

In a statement, Michael Ewald, Partner and Global Head at Bain Capital, said: “As the high interest rate environment has constrained traditional senior lenders, we are seeing more opportunities for thoughtful, tenured lenders that can provide differentiated financing solutions.”
