A group of investment banks led by Barclays, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs have been left holding around $180m on their books after a bridging loan to a private equity firm turned sour.

The $1.8bn loan was made to Advent International around a week ago to help finance its €3bn leveraged buyout of the methacrylates plastics unit of Evonik, the German chemicals company.
