Carlyle Group, KKR, and Oaktree Capital Management are preparing to buy US leveraged loans currently trading at discounts. They plan to package these loans into collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). Many fund managers have set up nearly record short-term credit lines to acquire loans for CLOs, with about 286 open. Over 90% of loans traded below face value recently, marking the highest discount in 18 months, with debt spreads near a one-year high.
