Creditflux Unveils Winners of 2025 CLO Manager Awards Celebrating Top Industry Achievements
Creditflux Unveils the 2025 CLO Manager Awards Winners
On May 15, 2025, the prestigious CLO Manager Awards were presented by Creditflux, a service of ION Analytics, at the luxurious Nobu Hotel in London. This annual event, now in its 17th year, serves as a gathering point for the collateralized loan obligation (CLO) community to honor the exceptional performances of CLO managers and funds within the $1.4 trillion global market.
The awards were based solely on hard data and performance metrics, a unique approach that sets Creditflux apart in the industry. This year witnessed submissions from over 90 CLO and fund managers, highlighting the competitive nature of the awards. The event was attended by around 350 guests, creating a vibrant atmosphere for networking and celebration.
The backdrop for the awards ceremony was the Creditflux CLO Symposium, a two-day event that connected CLO investors with key players in global structured finance, including arrangers and advisors. Participants were able to gain valuable insights into the impacts of recent market volatility and uncertainty, specifically within the U.S. and European CLO landscapes. The symposium showcased significant opportunities in both primary and secondary markets.
Lisa Lee, Managing Editor of Creditflux, expressed her enthusiasm for the resilient CLO market, stating, "The CLO market has shown remarkable strength despite recent turbulence, following a record-setting 2024 in terms of issuance volumes and spread levels while navigating challenges such as low loan supply and the rise of loan market exchanges (LMEs). We are thrilled to commend the industry's best performers by honoring the top managers who distinguished themselves last year."
