Access Clarion’s OfferingsClarion’s credit business was founded in 2018 after an extensive search for an investment strategy within corporate credit. Ultimately, we found that CLOs provide an efficient format for investing in leveraged credit across evolving market conditions, as CLOs have demonstrated resilience in both benign and volatile markets. We continue to observe CLO equity producing attractive current cash yields with embedded optionality on volatility. Clarion’s credit business is led by Robert Klein as President and CIO. Robert has over 30 years of experience in private equity and credit markets, with the past 15 years focused on structured credit. Robert is supported by a dedicated team of experienced credit professionals and a robust structured credit analytics infrastructure. The team has invested over $3 billion in the CLO markets over the course of their careers.
