Crescent Capital Group Closes Second CLO Equity Fund at $232 Million

Fund Doubles the Size of its Predecessor Fund

Crescent Capital Group LP (“Crescent”), one of the leading alternative credit investment firms, announced today the final close of its second captive collateralized loan obligation (CLO) equity fund, Crescent CLO Equity Funding II, with $232 million in commitments. The fund doubled the size of its predecessor, Crescent CLO Equity Funding I, which closed in 2018 with $103 million in commitments.

Sophisticated institutional investors, including global insurance companies and pension funds participated in the close. CLO Equity Funding II will focus primarily on investments in control positions of Crescent CLOs, while also providing flexibility to opportunistically invest in the debt of Crescent CLOs as well as third-party CLOs.

This close represents the continued growth of Crescent’s CLO platform, which dates back to 1993 and makes Crescent one of the longest tenured CLO managers in the market.

“Despite a competitive fundraising environment, this close reflects the continued evolution of our CLO issuance strategy and the growing conviction we are seeing from investors across the institutional landscape,” said Nilesh Mandhare, Managing Director, Head and Portfolio Manager for Crescent’s CLO issuance strategy. “We are excited to expand our relationships with existing and new clients as we enter the next phase of the strategy’s growth.”

“CLOs are an increasingly important component of our broader credit platform, bringing together our investment expertise, structuring capabilities, and longstanding institutional relationships,” said John Fekete, Managing Director and Head of Tradeable Credit at Crescent. “The close underscores the depth of investor interest in the strategy and the strength of the platform we’ve built over decades.”

“We are grateful for the investor support in the second vintage of our CLO series,” said Jonathan Harari, Global Head of Crescent’s Investor Solutions Group. “We are proud to partner with both existing and new investors and remain focused on delivering differentiated opportunities across the credit markets.”
