Monroe Capital, a private credit investment manager, closed Monroe Capital MML CLO XVIII, its latest $426.6 million term debt securitization. This marks the fourth CLO issuance from Monroe’s platform within the past 12 months, collateralized by a diversified portfolio of lower and traditional middle market senior secured loans.
The transaction features investment-grade debt tranches rated AAA through BBB-, arranged by Societe Generale in its role as lead arranger. It is strategically structured to meet U.S., UK and European risk retention standards.
“We are exceptionally pleased with the robust execution of this significant CLO transaction, which benefited from Societe Generale’s outstanding collaboration and market expertise,” Zia Uddin, president of Monroe Capital, said. “Strong demand from our sophisticated global investor base, complemented by meaningful participation from new institutional partners, affirms the enduring strength of Monroe’s differentiated middle market credit strategy. Our institutional-grade underwriting discipline, rigorous portfolio oversight and exclusive access to proprietary, directly originated opportunities continue to deliver superior, risk-adjusted performance for our investors.”
Monroe’s CLO franchise now manages over $4.4 billion in assets. This platform is stewarded by Monroe’s senior investment team.
