The onset of risk retention on 24 December 2016 accounted

for the increased activity seen in November and December as

managers sought to issue new deals, or refinance or extend

existing CLOs in advance of the deadline and thereby avoid

the 5% required holding for deals issued or refinanced after the

deadline.

Maples Fiduciary’s "Risk Retention Survey of US CLO

Managers – Part II" released in December confirmed that 89%

of CLO managers already had a risk retention strategy in place

or ready for implementation imminently. A summary of the

survey is included on page 11.

In terms of spreads, the year was bifurcated as the first

six months saw a gradual widening of primary spreads.

Conversely, H2 welcomed spread tightening to levels last seen

in 2012, providing more favourable conditions to attract equity

buyers. AAA pricing came down from the low 150bps mark to

low 140bps by the end of the year.

Although defaults in credits related to oil and gas, mining

and minerals were reasonably prevalent in 2016, other

sectors such as healthcare, technology and retail, which had

been expected to suffer defaults, saw a lot less stress than

anticipated. Concern relating to credits in those sectors,

however, does continue into 2017.

2016 saw a total of three BSL debut CLO 2.0 managers,

namely Newfleet Asset Management (owned by Virtus),

Teachers Advisors (an affiliate of insurance giant TIAA Global

Asset Management) and Guardian Life. In the middle market,

Churchill Asset Management, Brightwood and Alliance

Bernstein all issued their first middle market 2.0 CLOs. This

demonstrates continued confidence in the product from new

entrants and the wider financial services market.

In 2016 94 different US managers priced one or more US

CLOs across a total of 252 deals, which included 96 refis,

across 247 Cayman Islands issuers and five Delaware issuers.

That compared with 219 priced US CLOs in 2015 across 212

Cayman Islands issuers, six Delaware issuers and one Irish

issuer. Carlyle, Credit Suisse Asset Management, Golub and

GSO/Blackstone priced four or more new US CLOs in 2016.

US CLO Market

2016 US CLO Market Review

Following a glacial start to the year and significantly depressed

H1 issuance levels, which resulted in significant downward

revisions by bank arrangers to their 2016 volume predictions

(as low as $35 billion for the full year), 2016 ended on a more

positive note than expected. US CLO issuance ended the year

at approximately $72 billion across 156 deals, with nearly $50

billion in additional issuance via refinancing/reset transactions

across 96 deals.

The busiest months in terms of activity were October,

November and December which accounted for $26.21 billion

in CLO primary issuance and approximately $37 billion in

refinanced or reset deals. In contrast, H1 issuance totalled

$27.12 billion from 66 deals and in 2015 refinancing volume

was less than $10 billion in total. Bank arranger predictions,

which at the start of 2016 were around the $70 billion mark,

held true despite the downward revisions in March 2016 to

$35-50 billion.

Each of Bank of America, BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Credit

Suisse, Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, J.P. Morgan, Morgan

Stanley, Natixis and Wells Fargo have priced 12 or more deals

(including refis and resets) in H2 2016, with Citigroup leading

the pack.

Average deal size in 2016 was in the low $400 million range,

compared with a $500 million median CLO size in 2015. At

the end of the year we estimated that there were about 50

warehouses still open in the CLO pipeline, compared with the

60-70 open at the start of 2016.

For a complete list of the H2 2016 priced US CLOs, see

Appendix 1.

US CLOs – What's in store for

2017?

Bank arrangers are predicting between $50-70 billion in

issuance for 2017, with Nomura and J.P. Morgan predicting

volumes at the lower end ($50-60 billion) and Morgan Stanley

and Wells Fargo more bullish at around the $70 billion mark.

The market anticipates a reduction in the number of managers

issuing new deals as a result of risk retention and an increase

in manager mergers and acquisitions. Predictions range for

between 40-70 active managers remaining at the end of 2017,

and the year started off with announcements that Marble Point

(backed by Eagle Point) had acquired American Capital and

New York Life Investments agreed to acquire a majority stake

in Credit Value Partners. However, as mentioned previously,

new entrants in the manager space (and we are aware of a

number of others) will more than likely lessen the impact of

any such manager contraction.

Some market participants are predicting, and we are already

seeing, new issue spreads tightening with current deals

already getting close to 130bps on the AAAs. We believe

that AAAs will continue to tighten and could get into the

low 120bps by year-end. At the time of writing, Octagon

Investment Partners 30 set the lowest AAA new issue print

this year at 132bps. Refinancing and repricings account for

the greatest primary market activity so far in 2017 with nearly

$8 billion in CLO repricings in January alone as managers

and arrangers take advantage of tightening spreads and the

Crescent Capital's SEC no-action letter. At the same time, the

new issue market remains sluggish as managers continue to

struggle to source new collateral at attractive prices. Making

the arbitrage work on new deals is difficult at the moment

which has not been helped by a wave of repricings at the

primary asset level. Not only have the primary repricings

been aggressive but the reductions appear to bare very little

correlation to the credit quality of the obligor with spreads

dropping significantly for all borrowers. This will continue to

make issuing new CLOs a challenge for the foreseeable future,

leading to several managers contemplating resets to extend

the reinvestment period of existing CLOs. On the positive side

of things, so long as dollar funding costs are not prohibitive,

it is anticipated that Asian investors will continue to finance

a substantial part of the senior CLO tranches and managers

will continue to find themselves on roadshows in Korea and

Japan, especially as certain Japanese banks extend their

'approved manager' lists and other investors increase their

CLO investment allocations.

Many are hopeful that President Trump will take a more

favourable approach when it comes to the regulation of the

capital markets and some pundits have even suggested

that parts of Dodd Frank could be repealed, even going so

far as to suggest that CLOs may be exempted from the risk

retention requirements. The view of many of the participants

at the Opal CLO Summit at Dana Point in California in early

December was very much that the market has positioned

itself to deal with the risk retention requirements in the US,

regardless of what President Trump may or may not do. Either

way, it is pretty clear that the US will not look to embark on

further burdensome regulation unlike the regulators in Europe

who are now eyeing a possible move to a 10% risk retention

requirement.

The Maples CLO Team certainly is looking forward to another

active year and wish all our clients and friends in the CLO

market a positive 2017. For further details, please contact:

What's happening in Europe?

2016 Market Review

The European CLO market had a very slow start to 2016 but rebounded strongly near the end of Q1 2016 and throughout Q2 2016.

In June 2016, the Brexit vote initially appeared to put the brakes on the European CLO market as participants weighed up the

consequences of the UK leaving the EU and the impact it would have on European CLO structures. However in July issuance levels

recovered and remained strong through H2 2016, to such an extent that the full year volume amounted to €16.8 billion from 41

deals, surpassing the previous issuance record for CLO 2.0 transactions of €14.49 billion, which occurred in 2014.

One of the key contributing factors to this increased level of activity was the availability of AAA investors. The demand for AAA

tranches of European CLOs was such that the downward pressure on AAA spreads was a consistent factor throughout 2016. These

spreads began the year around 150bps but finished up in December 2016 as low as 95bps. This demand was driven by a diverse

and expanded CLO investor base made up of banks, pension funds, insurance companies and family offices across a geographical

spread from Europe to the Far East.

2 The EU's proposal for a regulation to lay down common rules on securitisation and create a European framework for "simple, transparent and standardised"

securitisation.

Brexit

As to what Brexit will finally look like remains to be seen as

does the precise timing of the UK's departure from the EU.

However in her speech on 17 January 2017, the British Prime

Minister, Theresa May, indicated that the UK exit from the EU

would also involve it leaving the European single market.

As the UK will therefore be a "third country" vis-a-vis the

EU, UK managers will no longer be able to avail themselves

of the MiFID passport regime (although in this respect, as

noted in the August 2016 edition of the CLOser, this would

not preclude them from providing investment services to Irish

SPVs provided: (i) their head or registered office is in a non-EU

country; (ii) they have not established a branch in Ireland;

and (iii) they are not providing investment services to Irish

individuals).

During 2015 and the beginning of 2016, the majority of

European CLO transactions utilised the sponsor approach

(with a UK-based sponsor) in relation to risk retention

compliance. However, since the Brexit vote, a majority of

transactions have utilised the originator approach in respect of

risk retention compliance.

Try, Try, Trilogue Again — STS Regulation: The Saga

Continues

As if Brexit was not enough of a challenge for the European

CLO market, in June 2016 the Committee on Economic and

Monetary Affairs ("ECON") of the European Parliament issued

a draft report containing a number of proposals to amend the

draft of the STS Regulation which included, amongst others:

• increasing the economic interest in the securitisation to

be retained by the risk retention holder from 5% to 20%;

• requiring that the retention holder (originator, original

lender or sponsor) be a regulated entity;

• requiring that only institutional investors are permitted to

invest in securitisations.

These proposals were the subject of substantial consideration

and discussion within the European Parliament. In December

2016 ECON issued what it considered to be a compromise

proposal. The new proposal has retained the requirements for

the retention holder to be a regulated entity and restricting

investments in securitisations to institutional investors.

However, rather than a 20% minimum risk retention level, it

Page 7: The CLOser|February 2017 - Maples Fiduciary · PDF fileBernstein all issued their ... 2 The EU's proposal for a regulation to lay down common rules on securitisation and ... The CLOser

The CLOser | February 2017

5

instead suggested that the minimum risk retention level should

be increased to 10% for each risk retention option, save for: (a)

the first loss tranche (remains at 5%); and (b) the retention of a

first loss exposure of every securitised exposure (increased to

7.5% of each securitised exposure). In addition, there is scope

for the minimum risk retention level to be increased to 20% in

the coming years.

Looking on the bright side, these latest proposals are not final

and will be the subject of a trialogue between the European

Commission, Parliament and Council, so the STS Regulation

may still be subject to further amendment.

European CLOs – What's in store

for 2017?

As regards the outlook for 2017, commentators are positive in

their initial outlook, with expectations that 2017 will match, if

not surpass, 2016 levels. Analysts are again predicting (as they

did at the start of 2016) European issuance levels of

€15-20 billion.

As a consequence of the lower AAA spreads a number of

existing CLO transactions have refinanced or reset in recent

months. It is anticipated that this trend will continue and refis

are likely to account for much of the activity in the European

CLO market in 2017.

However, notwithstanding the current buoyance in the market,

the twin shadows of the STS Regulation and Brexit (whatever

final forms they may eventually take) continue to loom large as

does the uncertainty of their long term impact.

Irish Listings Update

During the second half of 2016, 191 CLOs (US and European), comprising both new issuances and refinancings, were listed on the

Irish Stock Exchange ("ISE"). Of these listings, 164 were by Cayman Islands issuers, accounting for 86% of CLO listings. Of the 25

issuers that had European domiciles, 18 were Irish and seven were Dutch. Maples and Calder’s Dublin office listed 47.5% of all ISE-

listed CLOs and 53.5% of all Cayman Islands issuers listing on the ISE.

For the year in full, a total of 272 CLOs (US and European) were listed on the ISE. Of these, there were 225 Cayman Islands issuers

(82.5%), 30 Irish issuers (11%), 12 Dutch issuers (4.5%) and five Delaware issuers (2%). Maples and Calder’s Dublin office listed 48%

of all ISE-listed CLOs and 55.5% of all Cayman Islands issuers listing on the ISE.

Over the year, 86% of CLOs opted to list on the Global Exchange Market ("GEM") rather than on the Main Securities Market. In the

case of Cayman Islands issuers, this increased to 93% opting to list on the GEM. Nearly 60% of the European CLOs sought listings

on the Main Securities Market.

MAR – A Consequence of Listing on the Irish Stock Exchange

What is MAR? - The European Market Abuse Regulation

("MAR"), which replaced and extended the existing market

abuse regime, prohibits insider dealing, market manipulation

and unlawful disclosure of inside information in respect of

securities listed on an EU stock exchange, applies to the vast

majority of US BSL CLOs given the market trend of listing CLO

notes on either the Main Securities Market or the GEM of the

ISE. While the Central Bank of Ireland ("CBI") has undertaken

a soft implementation of MAR with regard to securities such

as CLOs, MAR came into force on 3 July 2016 and now covers

securities listed on the GEM. CLO issuers should be in the

process of taking, or already have taken, steps to comply.

Failure to comply with MAR can result in both administrative

sanctions and criminal sanctions in the form of fines and/or

imprisonment.

Why are we listed on the ISE? - We understand that CLO

notes were originally listed on the ISE to satisfy the internal

investment requirements of various institutional EU investors

and, more latterly, Asian investors who require a listing on

an EU regulated exchange. Initially, at least, the ISE listing

provided liquidity in both the primary and secondary markets

with regard to such investors. For this reason, and as a noted

preference for certain Japanese investors, it subsequently

became market convention to list CLOs on the ISE.

Why not de-list? - The compliance obligations and costs

of MAR can be avoided completely by de-listing the CLO

issuer from the ISE. However, the relevant provisions of the

Indenture and the Offering Memorandum/Circular should be

reviewed and considered. Many Indentures contain a covenant

requiring the issuer to use reasonable efforts to maintain an

ISE listing. De-listing will likely incur certain legal fees and

costs, in addition to the ISE de-listing notice fee of €300.

How do we comply? – Each CLO issuer listed on the ISE

should:

• adopt policies and procedures relating to the treatment

of inside information, including to ensure the immediate

publication of inside information, and to ensure that

any delay in the publication of inside information is in

accordance with MAR;

• draw up and maintain, in the prescribed form, a

permanent insider list (the "Insider List") of persons with

access to inside information relating to the issuer or its

financial instruments;

• ensure persons on Insider Lists are aware of, and have

acknowledged in writing, their obligations under MAR and

the sanctions for insider dealing and unlawful disclosure

of inside information;

• draw up and maintain a list of persons within the issuer

and co-issuer discharging managerial responsibilities and

of persons closely associated with them ("PDMRs"); and

• ensure PDMRs are aware of and acknowledge in writing

their obligations relating to dealing in the issuers’ financial

instruments.

What is "inside information" in a CLO? - MAR defines

"inside information" as information that:

• is precise;

• has not been made public;

• relates directly or indirectly to the issuer or its financial

instruments; and

• if made public, would be likely to have a significant effect

on the price of those financial instruments or on the price

of related derivative financial instruments.

While, neither the CBI nor any other EU regulator has issued

any guidance specific to securities such as CLOs, the CBI

has indicated that an issuer should treat information as

"inside information if a reasonable investor would use such

information to make investment decisions relating to the

relevant CLO notes or related derivative financial instruments

to maximise his economic self-interest." In the context of

a CLO, we expect the occurrence of events leading to the

existence of "inside information" to be relatively rare.

The CLOser | February 2017

8

Who is named in the Insider List? – At a minimum, we

expect the Insider List to include the names of the manager

personnel with day-to-day responsibility for the CLO, the

directors of the CLO issuer and the lawyers routinely advising

the CLO issuer and the manager. However, any person

performing work for the CLO issuer who has access to inside

information should be included in the Insider List.

What about an alternative listing? - Given the initial drivers for listing CLOs on the ISE, we do not believe a listing on a non-EU exchange would necessarily provide the same liquidity or market benefits. A listing on a recognised non-EU exchange is usually obtained to take advantage of the Quoted Eurobond Exemption, which permits interest payments from an EU issuer to be paid without the imposition of withholding tax. This exemption has no applicability or benefit to a Cayman Islands CLO issuer. For this reason, and the reasons outlined above, a listing on a non-EU exchange should not be viewed as a like-for-like alternative to a listing on the ISE.

The Maples group has developed a set of policies and

procedures to assist our clients in ensuring compliance with

the requirements. For details of how we can assist, and for a

checklist of actions to take, please contact:

The Widening Use of UK SPVs

The UK has one of the deepest capital markets globally covering all manner of products, giving investors a varied universe in which

to invest. For many years this has included its specialist securitisation regime, which has seen UK SPVs used in structures to

securitise a variety of UK assets. Typical portfolios consist of residential mortgages, trade receivables, auto loans, credit cards or

personal loans, aircraft leasing or commercial real estate. A current development in the UK market that we are watching closely is

the development of a new legal, regulatory and tax framework for Insurance Linked Securities ("ILS"), which if successful will see

another product available to investors in the London market.

The UK's HM Treasury, the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority have published separate

consultation papers in the past 12 months, with a view to developing an onshore ILS centre in London that may help expand the

ILS market globally by broadening the potential investor base and usage of ILS structures. An implementation date in the first half

of 2017 is being targeted for the proposed legislation.

Maples Fiduciary is engaging in the current consultation and ultimately expects protected cell companies (PCCs) and insurance

SPVs (ISPVs) to be administered in a similar manner to products administered in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and the Channel

Islands if the product is to be a success.

Maples Fiduciary has an experienced team in London, whose backgrounds are diverse and include experience working with all

manner of UK SPV structures over the past 15 years. We provide UK resident directors, registered office, company secretarial

support and accounting services to a range of securitisation and asset finance vehicles and are looking forward to extending this

to the UK ILS space.

Please contact us for more information about the services we provide and how we can help you with your UK requirements. As

always, our aim is to provide the support that you need so that you can focus on the transactions themselves, knowing that you

have a trusted partner alongside who is attending to your UK SPV, corporate administration and regulatory requirements.

Maples Fiduciary: Enhanced Options for Distressed and Illiquid Assets on Wind Down

Since the credit crisis, investment/collateral managers have been challenged by the disposition of assets that are effectively

valued as worthless and/or are illiquid. Especially in CLO 1.0 transactions, the documentation is less flexible and remedies or

options, such as sale of assets to existing investors or even abandonment of worthless assets, is not available. This issue becomes

particularly significant at the end of a transaction as it can prevent an orderly wind down and voluntary liquidation of SPVs and

fund structures.

Given the administrative and cost issues this creates, Maples Fiduciary established an entity called FLP Investments Ltd.

some time ago to take worthless and illiquid assets (subject to certain criteria being met and minimal fees being paid, transfer

documentation being executed and basic terms and conditions being agreed for the sale).

Whilst this solution has proved popular and been utilised regularly, historically its use has been limited to securities that were held

in definitive registered form. However, Maples Fiduciary is now pleased to announce it has established a custodial account with an

industry partner to offer a solution for assets that are also held in global form.

The ability to take such assets, even when held in global form, together with our easy-to-use precedent documentation and our

bespoke approach to dealing with tricky issues, such as residual claims, provides managers and other parties with a significantly

enhanced solution to deal with illiquid and worthless assets where deals need to unwind and/or terminate.

Risk Retention Survey

Following widespread interest in the results of the first risk

retention survey conducted by Maples Fiduciary in February

2016, we engaged with our US CLO manager clients again in

November 2016 to provide an update on manager strategies

and preparedness for risk retention.

We were interested to learn whether manager strategies

had shifted at all during the year and, in particular, in

relation to preferred risk retention structures, sources of

third party financing and preferred method of retention. The

results clearly demonstrated a significant increase in overall

preparedness and a refinement of implemented or planned

strategies ahead of the impending year-end deadline. Data

collected from over 60% of active US CLO managers showed:

• 89% of US managers have risk retention structures in

place or imminent, a 16% increase from earlier in 2016;

• 71% of managers prefer the capitalised majority-owned

affiliate ("C-MOA") or majority-owned affiliate ("MOA")

risk retention structure, up from 55% earlier in 2016; and

• managers planning to use a capitalised manager vehicle

("CMV") decreased from 25% in February 2016 to 20% by

year end.

In addition, we noted a shift in the preferred structure towards

MOA/C-MOAs with a slight departure from the CMV structure,

together with a clear preference for taking a horizontal

retention slice.

The results, which can be accessed by clicking here3, were

distributed at the Opal CLO Summit in December 2016 and

have been published in a number of industry trade periodicals

and magazines, including LCD/CLO Weekly, Creditflux and

Structured Credit Investor.

Maples Fiduciary: Risk Retention Part II Highlights, Refinancings and Tax Administration

Refinancings

As anticipated, Maples Fiduciary saw a significant increase in

refinancing and reset activity during November and December

prior to the 24 December 2016 risk retention effective date.

Indeed, the Maples group acted on over 65% of the 2016

refinancings in the US CLO market.

At the time of writing, we continue to see an enormous volume

of refinancing and reset activity of 2014 vintage CLOs as

majority equity investors look to take advantage of tightening

spreads. These refinancings are consistent with the terms

and conditions described in Crescent Capital Group LP's

SEC Staff No-Action Letter dated 17 July 2015, which allows

for refinancing to be completed post the December 2016

deadline with the comfort that the SEC will not recommend

enforcement of the risk retention rules if the refinancing is

undertaken within the limited circumstances set out in the

Crescent No-Action Letter.

Tax Administration

There is no doubt that the various regulatory changes we have seen in recent years have created a heightened administrative

environment for SPV issuers and their investment managers. For example, the implementation of the Dodd Frank Act brought with

it significant changes to all IRS international tax forms such as the W-8BEN-E and W-8IMY. What was once a relatively simple one

page certification is now an eight page document with the inclusion of very important FATCA classification representations.

With increasing scrutiny on SPVs transacting with the US, we have seen our clients applying more frequently to the IRS for an EIN

to support additional reporting requirements imposed on managers.

With that in mind, we thought it might be timely to remind clients that, whilst we don't provide tax advisory services, we do offer

seamless and efficient tax administration services in several areas. In addition to our IRS international tax form preparation

service, we are also able to provide EIN application services for a small fixed fee. For non-US vehicles, applicants are required to

have direct contact with the IRS by telephone which can be time consuming and inefficient. Our trained and experienced staff can

take the stress out of this process at both the issuer and co-issuer level by:

• setting up template IRS Form SS4 documents for both corporations and partnerships;

• providing a Third Party Designee to transact with the IRS on behalf of the company; and

• targeting the return of fully completed IRS and SS4 forms, including the EIN, to our clients within a time frame of 24 to 36

hours after receiving the request.

Should any of the foregoing services be of interest or you would like further information, please contact:

Your Global CLO Team – A CLOser Look

We are including a short and informative bio for two members of our global CLO team so you can get to know the team a little

better. In this edition, we introduce you to Stephen McLoughlin from Maples and Calder in Dublin and David Hogan from Maples

Fiduciary in the Cayman Islands.

I am a partner in the structured finance practice in the Dublin

office and I advise on the Irish legal issues for European CLO

transactions.

I began my legal career as an apprentice (we didn't have

trainees back then) in Binchys Solicitors in Dublin, which

coincidently was subsequently the footprint for the

establishment of Maples and Calder in Dublin. I then spent

three years practising as a corporate lawyer (for my sins!) in a

mid-level Irish law firm, followed by five years in the structured

finance department of a leading Irish law firm before joining

Maples and Calder in 2012.

I grew up in Belfast but moved to Dublin to study in Trinity

College Dublin. Notwithstanding a dark sense of humour and

almost impenetrable Northern Irish accent I have found myself

still living in Dublin over 20 years later.

When not up to my elbows in opinions, minutes, risk retention

memos and the like, most of my remaining waking time is

spent trying to keep up with my three children, aged seven

and three (yes, the younger two are twins). Most weekends

are a whirlwind of football and rugby training, swimming

lessons and birthday parties. Disney cartoons and mood

swings from hysterical laughter to full blown tantrums (the

latter are, more often than not, mine!) are presided over by my

endlessly patient wife.

I am a diehard Liverpool FC fan (whose claim to fame was

a starring, albeit fleeting, role in the 2005 Champions

League Final in Istanbul). Given I have recently transitioned

into my forties, the mid-life crisis is in full swing – in this

instance rather than a motorbike or little red sports car (the

aforementioned patient wife vetoed both) I instead took up

participating in triathlons, completing my first three "sprint"

triathlons in 2016 with the intention of taking on a number of

Olympic distance events in 2017 – local cardiac care units will

be on standby!

David Hogan Vice President – Maples Fiduciary

I work in the Cayman Islands office of Maples Fiduciary in the

structured finance team, where I have served as a director to a

portfolio of US CLOs and other structured finance transactions

since joining in 2013.

My undergraduate years were spent at University College

Dublin where I obtained an honours business and law

degree. I commenced my professional career in the funds

industry before spending six years with ABN Amro Bank NV

in corporate treasury, where I also trained as a chartered

certified accountant. I then served six years as Chief Financial

Officer and Head of Investments for a boutique investment

company, naturally enjoying pre-crisis success and enduring

post crisis "work outs". Prior to joining Maples Fiduciary

I held a Senior Business Analyst position with the Irish

Banking Resolution Corporation during the orderly sale of its

commercial loan book.

Although lovers of the Irish "joie de vivre", my wife and I often

discussed relocating to a sunnier destination, so when the

opportunity arose to work in the Cayman Islands we grabbed

it. Almost four years later and now, with three kids under six

years of age, a happy wife and a Volvo!, the island has quickly

become our home. With beautiful beaches and a positive work

life balance to enjoy, the island has so much to offer us both

professionally and as parents to a growing family (in age rather

than volume!).

Like many, I'm a keen sports enthusiast but my colleagues

may not know I played badminton competitively for over

15 years, representing Ireland many times and have held a

European ranking in singles, a World ranking in men's doubles,

lost narrowly to an Olympic medallist (twice!) and hold an Irish

record as being the only husband-wife paring to win an Irish

Senior National title! However, my proudest sporting moment

must be beating a World Champion in 1993, albeit off-court in

a keg stand challenge!

Together with my colleagues, I worked on our risk retention

surveys in 2016 and felt the level of interaction our US CLO

managers afforded us during a very busy period was really

exceptional. When I am not working on structured finance

transactions and related initiatives, I focus my efforts on our

asset finance offering, where I serve on the boards of aircraft

leasing vehicles and aviation platforms.

Some of my goals for 2017 include taking an RV road trip with

the family, beating Scott Macdonald at squash and seeing U2

in Miami this June!
