AXA IM Alts closes European CLO, Adagio EUR CLO IX, with €400million
- 06 September 2021
AXA IM Alts, a global leader in alternative investments with c. €163 billion1 of assets under management, announces the successful close of an approximate €400 million collateralised loan obligation (CLO), known as Adagio EUR CLO IX.
Adagio EUR CLO IX closed on 2nd September, driven by strong appetite from a range of new and existing investors in Europe and the US. The CLO has a reinvestment period of four and a half years, with a non-call period of two years.
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 Adagio EUR CLO IX following its pricing at the end of July 2021. The global CLO market hit the $1tn milestone in August as a result of attractive yield premiums that have continually driven investment into the space.
“Over the past few years, the CLO market has matured and developed, resulting in a deepening of the institutional buyer base in Europe. The asset class has performed well against the volatile market backdrop and investors are increasingly confident with the robustness of the asset class. In addition, new interest from first-time CLO buyers has emerged in Europe and we expect to see investor demand continue as the European economy recovers and CLOs continue to offer a significant yield premium in comparison to other credit instruments.”
The Adagio CLO is managed by AXA IM Alts’ Structured Finance team, which manages over €52 billion ($61 billion) in global assets across the non-traditional credit spectrum. AXA IM Alts now manages c. €12 billion ($14 billion), across its leveraged loans & private debt platform globally.
For more than 20 years 2 , 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.
