New Mountain Credit CLO Advisers

New Mountain Credit CLO Advisers

New Mountain Credit CLO Advisers, a registered investment adviser, was established as part of New Mountain Capital's expansion into credit markets. New Mountain Capital itself was founded in 2000 by Steven Klinsky, formerly of Goldman Sachs, and has been a private equity investor primarily in growth-oriented companies. The credit platform, which includes CLO management, has been active for at least a decade and is run by a dedicated team separate from the private equity group. The strategy focuses on originating and managing broadly syndicated and middle-market senior secured loans through CLO structures. The firm targets senior secured debt, which offers collateral protection, and typically invests across industries such as healthcare, technology, business services and industrial sectors. It may also invest in leveraged loans and other bank debt. The CLO vehicles are typically diversified by issuer and industry, seeking to generate current income for investors. The firm manages multiple CLO vehicles; the exact number and total assets under management for the CLO adviser specifically are not publicly disclosed. New Mountain Capital's broader credit platform has deployed capital across its funds and managed accounts. The team includes investment professionals with experience in leveraged finance, credit research and CLO structuring. Functional groups include origination, portfolio management, risk monitoring and operations. A structural differentiator is the integration within New Mountain Capital's broader alternative asset management platform, which includes private equity, real assets and credit. This affiliation provides access to proprietary deal flow and cross-platform investment diligence. The CLO adviser may also benefit from the sponsor's long-standing industry networks and sector expertise, rather than relying solely on third-party CLO managers.
