Awards ceremony to debut

SCI’s 3rd Annual Middle Market CLO Seminar is taking place in-person on 15 November at the offices of Clifford Chance in New York. The event will cover the sector’s continuing evolution and its future potential, and marks the debut of SCI’s MM CLO Awards.

The seminar begins with a keynote address by Christopher Gilbert, head of US CLO banking at Natixis, and a Q&A session. Next, there is a panel focusing on the outlook for the primary MM CLO market.

After that, a manager/investor roundtable will explore the key topics impacting both issuers and investors, including trends in underwriting/acquisition and risk/portfolio management in the current volatile environment. A further pair of panels will examine middle market CLO credit metrics and how performance compares to that of broadly syndicated loan CLOs, as well as how macro-driven challenges facing the private debt market have impacted the MM CLO sector.

Rounding off the event is SCI’s inaugural MM CLO Awards ceremony, hosted by SCI US Editor Simon Boughey. This will be followed by a cocktail reception.

SCI’s 3rd Annual Middle Market CLO Seminar is sponsored by Schulte Roth & Zabel. Panelists also include representatives from Audax Private Debt, BofA Securities, Blue Owl, Brown Brothers Harriman, Capital One, Churchill Asset Management, DBRS Morningstar, First Eagle Alternative Credit, GreensLedge, Mark Fontanilla & Co, SMBC and Wells Fargo.
