Creditflux CLO Census set to return

Tuesday, September 13, 2022

The Creditflux CLO Census is back for its sixth instalment with the annual stock-take of the global CLO industry set to begin on Wednesday 5 October. The CLO Census is the most definitive study of its kind with last year’s edition racking up a record 244 responses.

The survey will once again feature two strands of questions. The first will gauge market opinion on key themes – last year for example we asked market participants what change they would like to implement to improve the CLO industry and 22.7% of respondents wished for standardised CLO documentation. See here for last year’s report.

The second strand seeks to answer the question, who are the best in the business across banking, warehousing, investing, valuations, analytics, trading, ratings, legal services among other categories. This year we have added a new category for best CLO documentation service given the plethora of new firms that have set up in this area.

JP Morgan was voted best at US CLO syndication, structuring and execution (joint with Citi) last year, while Barclays and Jefferies were viewed as the standout CLO arrangers in Europe.

Below are the categories and candidates listed for the 2022 CLO Census. Each category will feature a drop down list for respondents to select from, apart from the CLO investor category, which will be free-form.
