By Cristal Cody

Tupelo, Miss., March 12 – In CLO market activity on Thursday, details emerged on Voya Alternative Asset Management LLC’s $417.6 million second refinancing of a 2014 CLO.

Overall primary market activity is slowing in response to the coronavirus with the financial markets in turmoil on Thursday as stock indices fell nearly 10% across the board and credit spreads widen.

Meanwhile, trading volume in high-grade securitized paper was heavy on Wednesday, according to Trace data.

The previous session saw $1.33 billion of investment-grade CBO/CDO/CLO securities trade at an average price of 96.90 and a weighted average price of 97.50.

In addition, $409.47 million of lower-rated issues traded over the session at a 79.60 average price and a 75 weighted average price.

At the start of the week, $440.28 million of investment-grade CBO/CDO/CLO securities were traded at an average price of 99.70 and a 96.90 weighted average price.

Monday’s session also included $100.99 million of non-high-grade issues traded at an 82.10 average price and an 83.10 weighted average price.
