Bain Capital

Over the past year, we’ve brought together our people and partners around the world to celebrate 40 years of lasting impact. We reflected on the purpose and values that align us, and the opportunities we have to embrace possibility and realize potential in the years ahead.   As we close out this milestone year, we are excited for what's next. We wish you a joyful holiday season and a bright new year.  

We are honored to have been recently recognized with three awards by Asian Venture Capital Journal (AVCJ), including Firm of the Year for the second consecutive year. Our partnership with Japan Wind Development earned Midcap Exit of the Year, and the successful close of Asia Fund V was named Fundraise of the Year. These accolades highlight the continued evolution of Bain Capital’s platform in Asia Pacific and our dedication to being a trusted partner for growing businesses. Since establishing our Asia Pacific platform in 2005, we have built a robust team that has invested more than $25 billion across and beyond our core markets of Australia, China, India, Japan, and Korea. As we have grown organically, our collaborative culture has allowed us to combine operational expertise, strategic resources, and deep industry and local market insight to deliver exceptional outcomes for the businesses we support and strong returns for our investors. Congratulations to each awarded organization: https://lnkd.in/g6-GGJqj

Thanks to the Beard Distressed Investing conference for hosting a series of engaging conversations on the state of special sits investing. I also appreciated the opportunity to join @Negisa Balluku and the @Bloomberg team to offer a behind the scenes view on our Special Sits platform and ability to structure transactions to deliver a win-win for our companies and investors.

In a discussion with the Asian Venture Capital Journal (AVCJ), Barnaby Lyons shared how we combine bespoke capital, operational expertise, and a global perspective to drive growth across asset classes, industries, and regions. Following our most recent Special Situations fund close, our team is well-positioned to address evolving needs, from founder-led businesses seeking non-dilutive partnership to corporates pursuing strategic restructuring. We are also investing against a range of real asset sectors where we see strong underlying tailwinds driving sustained capital gaps. The article also highlighted our ability to bring global capabilities to the local context in Asia. Whether supporting media and entertainment content in India or facilitating cross-border growth for technology companies, we seek to deliver innovative, flexible capital tailored to each opportunity with deep local teams. https://lnkd.in/ej7YYmMj
