25 Largest High-Yield CLO Managers By Transactions Under Management
Standard & Poor's has compiled a listing of the largest active U.S. CDO collateral managers as of year-end 2004. While this survey is not meant to be a reflection on the abilities of any of the firms listed or not listed here, it is designed to shed light on the relative U.S. CDO market shares of collateral managers. As an initial attempt, S&P sought to capture deal data and other CDO collateral manager information as of year-end 2004.
The listing takes into account outstanding notes rated by S&P, which has rated CDO tranches for over 300 collateral managers. Over time, however, collateral managers' share of the CDO market has been consolidated (LMW, 11/19). As of March 2005, approximately 60 collateral managers represented about 50% of the CDO market's outstanding transactions.
