CVC Credit, the global credit management platform of CVC plc, has announced the final close of its fourth CLO equity fund, CVC CLO Equity IV, securing $1 billion in commitments. The fund is designed to support around $15 billion in global CLO issuance through CVC Credit’s Liquid Credit platform, reinforcing its scale in structured credit markets across the US and Europe.
This fourth CLO equity vehicle represents a 25% increase compared to its predecessor, CVC CLO Equity III. In total, CVC Credit has now raised approximately $2.7 billion across its four CLO equity funds, strengthening its position as a leading player in the global CLO investment space. Since its activation in Q2 last year, the latest fund has already supported five CLO transactions worth more than $2.5 billion and is expected to facilitate over 30 CLO issuances.
The firm highlighted that the new fund enhances its ability to build diversified and resilient portfolios while actively managing capital structures to improve equity returns for investors. Leadership at CVC noted that the successful fundraising reflects strong and sustained momentum across the group, supported by the long-term growth of its CLO business over the past two decades.
Executives also emphasized that the platform’s performance is driven by disciplined underwriting, diversified portfolio construction, and active risk management. They described CLO equity funds as effective tools for investing in leveraged loan markets while allowing flexibility across different market conditions.
CVC Credit manages approximately €45 billion in fee-paying assets across its liquid and private credit businesses. The firm also pointed to recent strategic developments, including its agreement to acquire Marathon Asset Management, as further strengthening its credit platform and supporting future growth in assets under management.
