Creditflux announces 2025 CLO Manager Awards winners
07.08.2025 - 18:05:12
This year, over 90 CLO managers and CLO fund managers submitted performance data for the awards. The category winners were announced live during the Creditflux Manager Awards Dinner, attended by 350 guests.
The awards ceremony took place on the second day of the Creditflux CLO Symposium, a two-day event that connected CLO investors with leading arrangers, managers, and advisors in global structured finance. The Symposium offered valuable insights into how the spike in volatility and uncertainty is impacting the US and European CLO markets, highlighting key opportunities in both primary and secondary markets.
"The CLO market has proved to be resilient in the face of recent volatility, following what was a standout 2024 that set new records for issuance volumes and spread levels, all the while managing the challenges of low loan supply and the rise of LMEs," said Lisa Lee, Managing Editor of Creditflux. "We are delighted to celebrate the best performers in the industry, presenting awards to the top managers who triumphed last year."
