Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Private Credit Strategist: Kayne Anderson’s Frank Karl
Q: Can you describe why Kay BDC was founded and how it fits into the platform?
A public BDC provides a permanent source of capital, offering liquidity to investors and a reliable funding channel for portfolio companies, while leveraging internal expertise from other public vehicles to enhance overall flexibility and resilience.
Private Credit Strategist: Kayne Anderson’s Frank Karl
Q: From the get-go, did you decide to focus on specific sectors for Kayne Anderson Private Credit?
Yes. The focus has been consistent: target the core middle market with stable, cash-flowing, generally non-technology-heavy industries, and structure investments conservatively to preserve capital while delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns.
Private Credit Leader: Deutsche Bank’s Alexander Gorokhovskiy
Q: In terms of team structure and geography, is the North America focus centralized in New York or spread across Europe and beyond?
The team is North America-focused in New York, while Deutsche Bank has similar groups globally, reflecting a coordinated, multinational approach to sourcing and financing across regions.
Private Credit Leader: Deutsche Bank’s Alexander Gorokhovskiy
Q: Are you and your team directly sourcing, or does some sourcing come from other folks in the bank?
Sourcing is a mix, but building trust internally and externally has been crucial; we have direct origination and distribution teams and receive deal flow from sponsor banking, industry banking, corporate banking, private banking, and even other credit funds.
Private Credit Investor: Star Mountain Capital’s CEO Brett Hickey
Q: Can you talk about starting Star Mountain Capital at an early age?
Brett shared that he has always been entrepreneurial, influenced by his past experiences, and saw an opportunity to create a fund aimed at investing in women and minority-owned businesses.
