DealCatalyst CLO Industry Awards 2022
DealCatalyst's first goal of these awards , was to create a transparent process with a clearly defined and open voting process. In close consultation with members of the LSTA we agreed the most important categories, a fair methodology and a shortlist of deals to be included for consideration.
Our objective was to produce a set of awards that truly reflect the opinions of CLO Managers, Investors and the many service providers in the CLO market. At its heart, these awards are intended to highlight and recognize true excellence in the US CLO market over the year 2022. With over 500 votes from over 100 institutions, we can confidently claim that in its first year, DealCatalyst in partnership with the LSTA, have produced the largest survey of opinion of the US CLO market.
