Combined, these two vehicles represent a total of $720m of new issuance and have increased CVC's CLO asset under management to around $15.8bn.

Adipos XXXIII, was arranged by Goldman Sachs and is CVC Credit's second new-issue to close in the U.S. in 2020. As with previous Apidos CLOs, the fund is primarily comprised of broadly syndicated First Lien Senior Secured Loans.

The €290 Cordatus XVII is European focused CLO arranged by Natixis. This was CVC Credit's first European CLO closed in 2020, having completed three in 2019. European CLO assets under management now stand at c.$6.3 billion.
