About The Conference
iGlobal Forum was pleased to host the CLOs Summit 2014 on June 18th, 2014 in New York. Substantial relative value in the CLO sector is catching the attention of many market participants. Sales surged in 2013 to the highest level since before the financial crisis, as investors sought out the higher yielding products. The issuance of innovative new products is accelerating, and re-financings are expected to become more commonplace. But proposed regulations and a supply/demand imbalance are creating uncertainty; and many players are unaware of the procedures and timelines associated with re-financing, or how this relatively new industry trend will develop. iGlobal Forum’s intensive one-day meeting placed participants face-to-face with the industry’s leading CLO managers, structurers, issuers and investors. We heard which products investors are favoring, how they compare CLOs to other asset classes, and what needs to be done to expand the investor base.
