SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 21, 2025--

PitchBook, the premier data provider for the private and public equity and credit markets, today announced the expansion of its Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) data, including the full history of more than 7,000 active and inactive CLO funds across the US and Europe. This enhanced dataset delivers the market’s most comprehensive view into CLO Fund Holdings, Trade History, and Lender Participation, capturing activity from issuance through trading.

This expansion empowers CLO fund managers and leveraged finance professionals to better analyze performance, strategy, and structure over time, enabling more informed decisions around portfolio allocations, industry exposure, risk appetite, and benchmarking.

CLOs currently account for 60 to 70 percent of the demand for newly issued leveraged loans in the United States, underscoring their growing importance in the leveraged finance markets.

Building on its robust foundation of credit data, including more than 65,000 private credit deals and over 20,000 newly added transactions in the past six months, PitchBook offers the most extensive private credit deal database in the market. By enhancing the depth and clarity of its platform, PitchBook empowers users to better understand and navigate the evolving market landscape.

This latest expansion of our data is designed to meet that need, delivering unmatched historical data that supports informed decision-making at every stage of the credit investment lifecycle from issuance to trading and portfolio management.”
