London-based Henderson Global Investors is seeking to add two members to its collateralized debt obligation team. Dominic Powell, director of fixed interest and credit, says the firm is looking for a leveraged loan analyst to work on collateralized loan obligations and a CDO specialist. Powell says the kind of hire he makes will depend on the caliber of candidates available.
Henderson is currently working on a CLO called Aquilae. That deal will be about E300 million and will be underwritten by Goldman Sachs. Last year, Henderson brought one collateralized debt obligation to market--a E150 million deal backed by credit default swaps. That deal was underwritten by J.P. Morgan Securities.
