Macquarie Asset Management (Macquarie) has announced the successful pricing of its European Collateralised Loan Opportunity (CLO), Aurium XVI.
The transaction raised €400 million in assets under management (AUM) and received strong support from investors, reflecting continued demand for high-quality European leveraged loan exposure and confidence in Macquarie’s credit investment capabilities. The CLO was supported by a diverse institutional investor base.
The transaction marks another milestone in the continued growth of Macquarie’s global CLO platform following its acquisition of Spire Partners, one of the largest independent CLO managers in Europe. With approximately €7 billion in CLO AUM globally, Macquarie’s scale provides clients with deep market access, geographic diversification, and consistent execution across market cycles, while offering exposure to a broad universe of loan opportunities across global credit markets.
Philip Bennett Britton, Senior Managing Director at Macquarie Asset Management, said: “The successful pricing of our latest European CLO is a significant milestone as it is our first CLO transaction under Macquarie Asset Management. We are grateful for the support from our investors, reflecting confidence in our platform, capabilities, and investment approach.”
