Tuesday’s BWIC colour included three distressed bonds originally rated single-B: two were covered at 31h, and one at around 10h.

As of 9 May 2025, the latest arbitrage metric for non-short-dated US CLOs stood at around 218 bps, marginally lower than at the start of the year.

Among managers with two or three deals in the sample, CIFC and Spire Partners have also performed well, with all of their seasoned deals ranking in the top quartile.
