AXA IM Alts closes 13th CLO in the US
- 28 June 2021
AXA IM Alts, a global leader in alternative investments with c. €162 billion of assets under management1 , announces that it has held a successful close of an approximate $510 million collateralized loan obligation (CLO), known as Allegro CLO XIII. This is AXA IM Alts’ 13th CLO deal in the United States and follows the successful close of Allegro XII in January of this year2 .
Allegro XIII closed in June3 , having seen strong traction from investors in the United States, Europe and Japan. The non-call period for the transaction is two years, with a five-year reinvestment period.
Yannick Le Serviget, Global Head of Leveraged Loans and Private Debt at AXA IM Alts commented: “We are pleased to announce the successful close of Allegro XIII following its pricing in May 2021, benefitting from good ramp-up conditions with a good primary pipeline and opportunities in the secondary market. The equity has been placed with five investors and was oversubscribed reflecting the recognition of the performance of the platform by the investor community.”
“The outlook for the US economy is looking increasingly positive, with strong expected GDP growth against a backdrop of a successful vaccine rollout and reduced uncertainty following the Presidential election. We expect to see a further increase in investor demand this year for US CLOs, against this positive backdrop and with the potential for heightened returns for investors.”
The Allegro XIII CLO is managed by AXA IM Alts’ Structured Finance team, which manages close to €53 billion ($64 billion) in global assets4 across the non-traditional credit spectrum. Following the close, AXA IM Alts now manages more than €12 billion ($14 billion), across its loan platform globally.
For more than 20 years, AXA IM Alts Structured Finance has provided bespoke solutions and investments in alternative credit and structured finance for large investors. It originates opportunities across the alternative credit spectrum aiming to provide clients with opportunities for sourcing, diversification and spread pick-up.
