The Creditflux awards are the only credit fund and CLO industry awards solely determined by data and metrics, showcasing the market's best performers.
LONDON, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Creditflux, a Debtwire service and part of ION Analytics, held its 16th annual CLO Manager Awards in London on 15 May 2024. The global collateralized loan obligation (CLO) community gathered at London's Landmark Hotel to recognize the best-performing CLOs, CLO managers, and CLO funds in the USD 1.32tn* global CLO market.
This year, a record 80 CLO managers and 32 CLO fund managers submitted performance data for the awards. The list of finalists was announced in April and the category winners were announced live during the Creditflux Manager Awards Dinner, attended by 320 guests.
The awards ceremony followed a full-day Creditflux-hosted CLO Symposium that connected CLO investors with the most important arrangers, managers, and advisors in global structured finance, helping the former to deploy capital and achieve investment goals. The CLO Symposium also provided an outlook on the major trends in the US and European CLO markets, covering current topics in primary and secondary opportunities.
"Despite a backdrop of market volatility and macro-economic challenges, 2023 was another strong year for the CLO market," said Tom Davidson, Managing Editor of Creditflux. "We are delighted to celebrate the best performers in the industry, presenting awards to the 16 managers who triumphed this year."
