AXA IM Alts closes European CLO, Adagio X EUR CLO, with €330 million
- 21 November 2022
AXA IM Alts, a global leader in alternative investments with c. €184 billion1 of assets under management, announces the successful close of a €330 million European collateralised loan obligation (CLO), known as Adagio X EUR CLO (‘Adagio X’).
Adagio X, AXA IM Alts’ first static CLO, closed on 18 November. The successful transaction was driven by strong appetite from a diversified pool of more than fifteen investors across Europe and North America, including both repeat investors and new investors to the platform. Against a turbulent market backdrop and extreme levels of volatility, AXA IM Alts’ long track record as an experienced manager frequently launching transactions in the CLO market supported the success of this transaction. This successful transaction additionally underpins the maturity and robustness of the asset class, having navigated various credit cycles and market conditions.
This follows Allegro CLO XV, a $400m US CLO managed by AXA IM Alts that successfully closed in June this year. Launching CLOs regularly, especially in challenging market conditions, is key in the CLO market to satisfy the demand from repeat investors and continue building the track record of AXA IM Alts as a global CLO manager.
For more than 20 years, AXA IM Alts 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.
