Fed jump-start leaves CLO buyout motor sputtering Unmack1 Three_Guineas
Moody’s on April 20 said it had placed the ratings on 967 bonds issued by collateralised loan obligations on review for downgrade, citing the risk of losses from the coronavirus lockdown. The rating actions affect $23.3 billion of securities.
Collateralised loan obligations are investment vehicles that buy leveraged loans and fund them by issuing securities of varying risk and return. The securities affected by the Moody’s rating action are all middle- and lower-ranking tranches, rated mostly Baa3, the lowest investment-grade level, and below.
“Given the severity and breadth of the economic downturn to date and diverse potential future paths to recovery, we believe that CLO mezzanine and junior tranches may be materially more risky than before the coronavirus crisis,” Moody’s said in a statement. Collateralised loan obligations have $680 billion of assets under management in the United States and 130 billion euros in Europe, according to Refinitiv data.
