After two years of muted issuance, the U.S. BSL #CLO market has roared back to life, with about $165 billion in issuance to date. We’re joined by CLO Sector Lead Stephen Anderberg to discuss what’s driving this active market (e.g., benign credit outlook and continuing strong demand for high-quality floating-rate assets), where we think the market will end up at the end of the year, and the status of refinancings and resets, specifically. Leveraged Finance Sector Lead Minesh Patel also joins us to discuss the factors driving our generally positive view of Corporate credit performance over the next 6-12 months (e.g., policy interest rate normalization to help stick a soft landing, generally healthy balance sheets, etc.).
