Themes to watch forText

• Still strong demand for HY bonds, so far this year, net inflows stand at €2.26B.

• Bond for loan-take-outs will continue to keep pace as issuers address their maturity concerns.

• Further spread / yield compression is expected, as loan issuers use access to the high yield markets to reduce existing spreads.

• Along with repricings, some sponsors are tabling dividend recap deals to take advantage of investor demand, both in loans and high yield.

• Both Apollo and Pramerica are expected to price their CLOs sometime in April and there are whispers that others might look at doing the same.

• Still fear that geo political shocks could erode confidence from the markets.
