Benefit Street Partners (BSP) CLO 50, a $500 million new-issue collateralized loan obligation (CLO), closed on May 26, 2026. The transaction was arranged in partnership with Scotiabank.
The closing of BSP CLO 50 marks a significant milestone for BSP’s U.S. CLO platform, which has raised approximately $25.5 billion in CLO capital since the firm’s first issuance in 2012. The platform has attracted support from more than 300 distinct investors since inception.
“Closing CLO 50 is an important achievement for BSP and a testament to the strength, scale and durability of our platform,” Dan Ryan, co-head of the U.S. CLO platform at BSP, said. “We are grateful for the continued confidence of our investors and financing partners, and we remain focused on delivering disciplined credit selection, active portfolio management and consistent execution.”
The firm’s CLO platform is supported by BSP’s broader credit investment capabilities, underwriting resources and long-standing relationships across the leveraged finance market.
“BSP CLO 50 underscores the continued momentum of our CLO franchise and the confidence investors have placed in our team,” Vince Pompliano, co-head of the U.S. CLO platform, said. “Our track record has been built through disciplined investment selection, active portfolio management and a long-term commitment to the CLO market. We believe those attributes will continue to differentiate BSP as we grow the platform.”
