THL Credit Raises $612 Million Collateralized Loan Obligation

THL Credit Advisors LLC ("THL Credit" or the “Company”), a leading alternative credit manager overseeing more than $11 billion in assets, today announced that it has closed on a $612 million collateralized loan obligation ("CLO"), led by Morgan Stanley. THL Credit together with its affiliates has now closed fourteen 2.0 CLOs totaling $7.7 billion in issuance since December 2012.

"2017 has been another prolific year for our tradable credit team," said Chris Flynn, CEO of THL Credit. "With over $2.3 billion closed across four new CLOs this year, THL Credit continues to demonstrate its status as a leader in the CLO space.”

“The CLO market has benefited from an increase in buying activity by large institutional investors and Morgan Stanley once again did an excellent job of syndicating this CLO to that audience,” said Michael A. Herzig, Managing Director of THL Credit.  “This demand coupled with our track record has led to record annual CLO issuance at THL Credit, and we look forward to working with our partners again in 2018.”
