Credit Markets
Credit Investments
• “In the past year, investors that had been flirting with
leveraged loans and other types of credit investments
began defining actual credit allocations and making
investments.”
• “The $7 billion Michigan Municipal Employees’ Retirement
System, Lansing, in May restructured its $2 billion fixed
income portfolio, moving all but $770 million into private
credit strategies.” … “The Oregon Investment Council,
Tigard, which manages the $58.4 billion Oregon Public
Employees Retirement Fund, Salem, was one of the
earliest investors in private credit.”
• “Institutional investors are searching for current income,
said Theodore “Ted” Koenig, CEO of Monroe Capital,
Chicago, a debt investment management firm. “Private
equity is not a current yield business…..We are, and have
always been, about current yield. That has become a much
more sexy business to investors now.”
Consultant Participation
• “A number of consulting firms – including NEPC, LLC,
Hewitt EnnisKnupp,Inc., Pension Consulting Alliance, Inc.,
and Summit Strategies Group – have been bringing the
investment strategy [leverged loans] to pension fund clients
that are moving money out of fixed income or equity.”
