By Cristal Cody

Tupelo, Miss., Feb. 2 – Voya Alternative Asset Management LLC priced $419.3 million of notes in a new CLO transaction, according to details from a market source.

The deal was downsized from an expected $505.65 million offering and eliminated an initial $10 million class E tranche of junior secured deferrable floating-rate notes.

Pricing action remains light in the CLO market in 2016 with $826 million of U.S. supply brought to market year to date.

New 3.0 CLO AAA spreads have softened 2 basis points from a week ago to Libor plus 177 bps and 5 bps since the start of the year, according to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC analysts.

New 3.0 CLO BBB notes have widened 10 bps since mid-January and 75 bps year to date, the analysts said in a note.
