Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) are structured finance vehicles that pool corporate bank loans and sell securities to qualified investors. Collectively, PPM and our affiliate PPM Loan Management Company, LLC (PPMLM) have served as collateral manager for 11 CLOs dating back to 1999. As collateral manager, we select investments appropriate for the portfolio, manage assets held by the CLO, and determine an appropriate exit from each investment.1 CLOs are a natural extension of our investment activities and expertise in floating rate corporate bank loans, leveraging the talent and experience of our CLO management team, which has an average of 33 years investment experience.
