What Medallia’s faceplant tells us about private credit

  • The article analyzes the Medallia situation to explore the private credit industry, focusing on Business Development Companies (BDCs) and their management of debt.
  • It highlights how BDCs, despite the poor performance of Medallia's debt, continued to grow their positions and charge substantial fees, including on Payment-in-Kind (PIK) debt.
  • The analysis criticizes the fee structures of private credit managers, suggesting they are incentivized by risk exposure rather than client returns, even when investments sour.

Topics: Asset types, Institutional adoption, Risk default, Private credit high yield, Asset manager initiatives, Credit counterparty risk
