CDOs/CLOs

That's a departure from the firm's existing fund, which acquires controlling stakes in CLOs through "equity" holdings; the new fund will be advised by the same principals, Tom Majewski, Daniel W. Ko and Daniel M. Spinner.

Tikehau CLO IV B.V. will control €400 million (UA$466.5 million) in mostly European leveraged loans and high-yield bonds (with an allowance for up to 25% of non-euro-denominated assets), according to Fitch Ratings.

Unusually for a debut transaction, the $329.7 million M360 2018-CRE1 will be actively managed: For the first 12 months after the closing date, funds from repaid principal can be used to purchase new loans, subject to eligibility criteria.

The €414.2 million CVC Cordatus Loan Fund XI will issue exchangeable shares for four classes of notes; this allows the fund to hold bonds without putting itself off-limits to U.S. banks.

GoldenTree Loan Opportunties XII was one of nine CLOs that were reset or refinanced on Friday alone, as managers rushed to lower payment prior to July quarterly payments to investors; the tally for June as a whole is $30.9 billion.

The deal, which is expected to close this summer, would bring THL Credit’s assets in collateralized loan obligations under management to approximately $12 billion and its total assets under management to over $15.5 billion.
