Summary
Palmer Square Capital BDC disclosed a leadership change in its compliance function, with Ben Wiesenfeld appointed Chief Compliance Officer effective August 3, 2026. Wiesenfeld succeeds Scott Betz, who transitions to Chief Operating Officer while remaining with the company. The change represents a reallocation of responsibilities rather than a departure, with Betz continuing in an operational capacity he has held since 2019.
Wiesenfeld's appointment brings relevant compliance credentials from his current role as CCO and General Counsel at Palmer Square Capital Management (the BDC's adviser) since 2025, and prior experience overseeing fund and broker-dealer compliance at Pacific Life Insurance Company. For shareholders, this is a routine governance matter with no immediate concerns. The continuity of Betz in operations and Wiesenfeld's existing relationship with the adviser suggest minimal disruption to compliance oversight or day-to-day management.
