Collateralised Loan Obligation (CLO) Services

We are independent specialists in collateralised loan obligation (CLO) management, delivering high-quality, end-to-end administrative support across the full lifecycle of your CLO in Europe and Cayman Islands.

Independent service excellence across the entire CLO lifecycle

As CLO issuances become more diverse and technical, you need a team that understands the intricacies of structuring CLOs and managing them over the lifecycle of the structure. Ocorian’s specialist teams, based in the Americas and Europe, bring decades of experience in supporting arrangers and underwriters, collateral managers and sponsors with the structuring and administering of CLO transactions. 

Market-leading CLO managers turn to us to set up issuing entities and special purpose vehicles (SPVs). We also support them when they need to warehouse assets, issue debt, handle refinancings and resets, and manage CLOs through to liquidation.

As a fully independent CLO services provider we have no conflicts of interest. CLO management is our core business, and we have the people and expertise to deliver a best in class offering.
