Building a Credit Platform with MidCap Financial’s Clare Bailhé

This week on Private Market Talks, MidCap Financial’s Clare Bailhé joins us to talk about what it’s like to build, scale and manage a market-leading credit investment platform. In 2008 – a pivotal year for the financial industry – Clare and her team formed MidCap and embarked on a $500 million fundraise. Since then, they have grown exponentially, and now have $45 billion of assets under management.

Clare shares with us the challenges and opportunities she faced launching a finance platform in 2008, why she and her partners decided to join forces with Apollo and why having the same team at MidCap since its launch has been pivotal to success. She also shares the three most valuable lessons she’s learned managing business growth.
