CIFC - Investors

CLOs

$20B AUM

2nd Largest U.S. CLO manager by total issuance in 2019 (as of December 31, 2019)
3rd largest U.S. CLO manager by deal count in 2019 (as of December 31, 2019)
CIFC originated CLOs have never breached an overcollateralization test (i.e. the cash distributions
to equity were never shut off) despite the severe market disruption of 2008-2009, attesting to our credit
underwriting, discipline, and diversification.
Our CLOs have meaningfully outperformed the S&P LSTA Leveraged Loan Index with respect to defaults (under
150 bps over the last 10 years) and our high recovery rates (>60%) are a testament to the robust investment process.
CIFC CLO equity investors have realized consistent, top tier cumulative annualized fund returns.
