Adrienne Dale has joined MidOcean Credit Partners as a portfolio manager for MidOcean’s collateralized loan obligation (CLO) strategies.

Dale will report to Jim Wiant, who oversees MidOcean’s existing CLO business, as MidOcean looks to expand and scale the business further. With more than $4 billion in assets and nine existing CLO transactions, MidOcean’s CLO strategies are an integral aspect of the firm’s $8+ billion credit platform.

“Adrienne’s deep expertise and long tenure in the CLO business will be a valuable asset to the MidOcean Credit team,” said Wiant. “We’re thrilled to have her join us as we focus on adding scale, strengthening our resources and continuing to drive value for our investors.”

Dale joins MidOcean with nearly two decades of experience in corporate credit. Most recently, she held senior positions in Credit Suisse Asset Management’s Credit Investments Group, a premier issuer and manager of CLOs, where she spent the past 14 years.

Established in 2003, MidOcean Partners is a New York-based alternative asset manager that specializes in middle market private equity and alternative credit investments.
