Bain Capital STRATEGIC CAPITAL GROUP
The Strategic Capital Group (SCG), which sits within Bain Capital’s Investor Relations team, launched in 2023 to serve as a dedicate resource to manage all non-fund related activities across the Firm. Today, these activities consist primarily of LP coinvestments, and also include transactions such as GP-led secondaries (e.g., continuation vehicles), minority sales, and liquidity solutions. The core goals for the SCG team are to deepen and manage relationships with direct investment and secondary professionals across our LP base and engage with Bain Capital investment teams on alternative capital solutions opportunities. This is a lean, nimble, and entrepreneurial team at Bain Capital.
