Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs)
Allstate Investments is an experienced participant in the CLO market, both as an investor and a manager. As an investor, we’re active across the capital stack, moving up and down the risk spectrum based on our assessment of fundamentals and valuations. As a manager of CLOs, we look to expand their issuance in the future, allowing us to increase our reach in the loan market, while continuing to leverage our resources and generate attractive fee income. Our experienced team uses a consistent, disciplined framework for credit assessment that we leverage across the platform of CLOs we invest in and those we manage.
