BNY Mellon said it was the top trustee for collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) in 2012, according to data from Asset Backed Alert.

During 2012, the company served as trustee on 42 issues, representing more than $18 billion in proceeds and triple the amount mandated to BNY Mellon in 2011.

“The CLO market saw increased demand from investors in 2012 with a total of more than $56 billion in new issues, a sign that the market is continuing to rebound after the financial crisis,” said Jocelyn Lynch, managing director at BNY Mellon Corporate Trust. “We expect to see continued growth for this asset class and predict that it will experience a considerable increase in 2013 with between $70 billion and $90 billion of CLOs hitting the market.”
