The table in this premium article provides the post-RP annualized prepayment rates for each deal in the sample, offering a detailed comparison of how quickly different deals paid down after their reinvestment period ended.

Please refer to the table below, which displays the trends in 2.0 US BSL CLO AUM for each of the top 100 US BSL CLO managers since 2012. The year-end notional AUM (in billions of dollars) for each period is calculated based on the pricing dates of CLO deals and the notional of the underlying collateral. For a consistent comparison, the AUM figures for each manager have been adjusted for mergers and acquisitions and changes in management contracts. In 2024, 37 of the top 100 managers experienced a decrease in their assets under management. Conversely, Elmwood, AGL, and Onex significantly boosted their assets, each securing more than 10% of the total growth recorded that year. Irradiant captured the largest market share of AUM growth in 2023, with Blackstone leading in 2022 and 2021, and RRAM in 2020.

Market Value Over-Collateralization (MVOC), for instance, at the BB tranche level, is calculated by dividing the collateral market value (MV) by the sum of CLO liabilities (AAA to BB). MVOC is a key point-in-time metric for valuing CLO-rated tranches, widely tracked by participants in both primary and secondary markets.
