Location: The Landmark London, 222 Marylebone Rd, London, NW1 6JQ
The challenges of 2022 look to be continuing into 2023 for the European CLO primary market, with issuance in January and February of less than a third of the comparable numbers from last year. But deals are getting done, pricing is creeping tighter and existing CLOs are performing well. Our panel of experts will discuss the full breadth of the CLO market, and whether they’re feeling optimism or pessimism for the rest of the year.
- What’s holding back CLO issuance?
- Should investors be worried about deal performance as economies slow?
- Will there be any windows to reset or refi older CLOs?
- Have we solved the challenges of ESG in the European CLO market?
