Lisa Goodwin ScharffGUEST
It was-- And for me, on the personal side of jumping into sports, I'd spent my career in men's sports, and this was an opportunity, especially as someone who grew up in the Bay Area, um, to kind of put my mark on the women's side of it.
Lisa Goodwin ScharffGUEST
Again, I'd, I'd only done men's sports and, um, I remember having an interview with Alan Waxman during the process, who's the CEO of Sixth Street, our majority owner, and asking him like, "Why, why are you doing this?" I wanted to make sure that it was seen as a business, not as a, a project or an...
Lisa Goodwin ScharffGUEST
You know, even just three years ago, there was still a lot of, um ... discussion and rhetoric around, like, women's sports is a, a charity project and something you just should be a part of 'cause it's the right thing to do, not because it's a really good business decision.
Lisa Goodwin ScharffGUEST
And it was very clear to Alan that this is a business decision, and this is why he's doing it.
Lisa Goodwin ScharffGUEST
We just haven't had all of these platforms.
Lisa Goodwin ScharffGUEST
We haven't had the resources behind it.
Lisa Goodwin ScharffGUEST
We haven't had the Sixth Streets of the world invested in it and providing those resources now.
Lisa Goodwin ScharffGUEST
So I think the opportunity is huge across the board, and I, I just, I think the numbers are speaking for it.
Patrick SchoennagelHOST
My name is Patrick Schoenagel, Managing Director at HulandLoki, and I'll be today's host for this episode.
Patrick SchoennagelHOST
I'm excited that today I'm joined by Mike Griffin, partner at Sixth Street and co-head of the firm's global direct lending business.
Patrick SchoennagelHOST
Mike also leads the European direct lending platform.
Patrick SchoennagelHOST
He has built one of the most respected private credit franchises on the continent, growing Sixth Street's European presence from a standing start to more than $7 billion of investable capital with the recent close of SLE3.
Patrick SchoennagelHOST
He was also named one of Private Equity News' 20 Most Influential in Private Credit for 2025, which is a reflection of both his personal track record and the platform he's built.
Patrick SchoennagelHOST
Today, we're going to cover a lot of ground, how private credit in Europe got to where it is, what Mike makes of the current market environment, how Sixth Street is thinking about the software sector in an age of AI disruption, and where we both see the asset class heading.
Patrick SchoennagelHOST
Let's get into it.
Patrick SchoennagelHOST
Welcome again, Mike.
Simon EvansHOST
Right, yeah, it certainly worked out for the best.
Simon EvansHOST
So when people ask you what you do for a living now, Kate, I mean, with two roles and two quite long job titles, it does seem you don't have an easy answer to give them, do you really? But could you just explain how you wear those two hats with Bay Collective and with Sixth Street and how that sort of works for you?
Kay CossingtonGUEST
Yeah, I will.
Kay CossingtonGUEST
And do you know the short answer that I often give is I'm still doing the same job with the same values.
Kay CossingtonGUEST
I'm developing the women's game.
Kay CossingtonGUEST
And, you know, whether I was a technical director at the FA, whether I'm the CEO of Bay Collective or head of women's kind of football at Sixth Street, the principles remain the same at Sixth Street.
Kay CossingtonGUEST
you know, the two hats that I hold is, yes, very much sitting in the seat of the CEO of Bay Collective and driving and establishing a brand new women's football multi-club ownership platform, which kind of drives and develops the women's club game both on and off the pitch.
Kay CossingtonGUEST
And there's, I'm sure, a ton of things that we can discuss about that.
John KaralisHOST
I'm, I'm looking at the situation in Boston, where the Celtics sold for about $7 billion.
John KaralisHOST
And Bill Chisholm is the front-facing owner, but there is a, a massive investment from Sixth Street, a venture capital group.
John KaralisHOST
And the, they were talking about potential for foreign investments.
John KaralisHOST
That, that's been a thing that's come in.
Dylan LewisHOST
He will be the controlling owner but is one of 14 investors that paid $9.6 billion for a stake in the team.
Dylan LewisHOST
His co-investors include former US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, several individuals from the private equity and venture capital world, and several PE firms themselves, Carlyle, Dynasty Equity, and Sixth Street.
Dylan LewisHOST
This ownership structure takes advantage of rules the NFL passed in 2024, allowing investment firms to take minority ownership stakes in teams.
Dylan LewisHOST
That's less than 10% they're allowed to own.
Dylan LewisHOST
Others have caught on.
Dylan LewisHOST
Arctos is not the only firm to own stakes in multiple teams.
Dylan LewisHOST
Sixth Street just became a partial owner of the Seahawks, but they also already had a stake in the Patriots in 2025, which means going into that first game of the season, they were going to win no matter which team came out on top on Wednesday night.
Dylan LewisHOST
Um, their returns in the space have been good.
