CLO Conference Notes 2018: from the Information Management Network 7th Annual Investors Conference on CLOs and Leveraged Loans

Abstract

The report covers 15 sessions from the 7th Annual Investors Conference on CLOs and Leveraged Loans, which was held May 23–24, 2018, at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel. The covered sessions include the three general sessions, the two keynote addresses, and the two pre-conference workshops. The issues that received the most attention in the sessions were (1) the replacement of LIBOR, (2) the elimination of US risk retention requirements for most CLOs, (3) manager tiering, and (4) weaker loan documentation. The event attracted nearly 1,900 registered attendees and the prevailing mood was one of a strongly positive outlook for the CLO sector.
