It’s been a stellar year for activity in the $1 trillion global CLO market, with issuance records broken in both the US and Europe.

Key Market Trends

The CLO market is experiencing a renaissance. Global investor appetite for CLO liabilities has driven funding costs lower and enticed managers to issue more deals. Tightening liabilities have also prompted a surge in reset and refinancings, further boosting issuance activity.

Increased demand for CLO equity, a raft of debut managers, Europe’s recently priced debut middle market CLO, and the growing presence of CLO ETFs, are further testament to the confidence in and intrinsic value to be found in CLOs.

US CLO issuance across new issue, refinancing and resets has surpassed $441.1 billion year-to-date, significantly outpacing last year’s figures and ~$20bn ahead of the previous issuance record set in 2021.

In Europe new issue volumes have hit ~€45bn – a new record in the jurisdiction – while combined new issue and reset volumes are well over €70bn.  The outlook for 2025 is similarly optimistic.

This growing interest highlights the critical need for comprehensive, real-time data to stay ahead of issuance trends and investor behavior.
