Charlesbank’s Sandor Hau Featured on Bloomberg’s Credit Crunch

BOSTON – July 16, 2025 – Sandor Hau, Managing Director and President, Credit, at Charlesbank Capital Partners, was recently featured on Bloomberg’s The Credit Crunch to discuss his investment career and Charlesbank’s distinctive approach to middle-market private credit.

In the interview, Sandor reflected on his career journey – from Goldman Sachs’ distressed debt group during the Asian Financial Crisis to leading credit investments at Charlesbank today. His commentary offered insight on the evolution of credit markets and how Charlesbank positions itself to capitalize on structural and market inefficiencies.

Building on the firm’s steady focus on the US middle market over the past 27 years, the Credit team targets companies with EBITDA of $20 million-$100 million. Sandor explained how we combine deep research and pattern recognition, an integrated investment team straddling private equity and credit, and a rigorous underwriting process to navigate a market shaped by a $600 billion maturity wall and elevated default rates.

With an informed and differentiated perspective to each investment, the Credit team seeks to identify high-quality companies that are misunderstood and therefore attractively priced and then present flexible capital solutions.
