After a strong 2013, with more than $82 billion in US broadly syndicated CLO issuance, 2014 is shaping up to be similarly compelling. Together with leveraged loans, US CLOs, both broadly syndicated and middle market, are poised to continue their recent impressive performance despite regulatory and market uncertainties. Fitch Ratings and Mayer Brown invite you to join us and other investors to discuss the latest developments in this market.
