In early March, the departure of 22 members from Barings towards the newly formed and, at the time, little known Corinthia Global Management, sent shock waves across the private credit world.

Fast forward to early September, after months of waiting due to gardening leave and restrictive covenants, the group of executives reconvened in a new office in London’s Cavendish Square about two miles west from the St Paul’s headquarters they had left after resigning one after the other. Corinthia private credit team has been officially open for business for just over two weeks, and Mark Wilton, head of European investments welcomed 9fin to the firm’s new home to speak for the first time since the exodus.
