Of the 80 largest US CLO managers, 34 have a highly favourable AUM breakdown by reinvestment period (RP), with less than 5% of their total US CLO AUM outside RPs. Thanks to the resets and redemptions of older deals, the RP profile of many managers has become considerably more favourable, with fewer deals now outside their reinvestment periods.
Across these vintages, reset deals outperformed their non-reset counterparts, underscoring the value of resetting.
Fully liquidated US CLO deals from the 2012–2015 vintages show that 2014 delivered the weakest performance, while 2012 achieved a median IRR of around 12% (assuming a 95% issue price). Across vintages, reset deals outperformed non-reset deals by approximately 2–4 percentage points based on median IRRs.
The top performers include Oak Hill Advisors, UBS AM, Oaktree Capital Management, Palmer Square Capital Management, and Benefit Street Partners.
