Anthelion Capital, a technology-enabled asset manager, today announced the successful closing of Anthelion CLO 2025-1 Ltd., its debut US collateralized loan obligation (CLO) issuance. Anthelion CLO 2025-1 will invest in a diversified portfolio of US broadly syndicated senior secured loans (BSLs). The transaction, which marks a significant milestone in the firm’s growth and commitment to innovative credit solutions, allows Anthelion to enter the dynamic $1.3 trillion CLO market. The $405 million transaction was arranged by Natixis Securities Americas LLC.

Anthelion couples its fundamental credit research team with its proprietary artificial intelligence-driven investment technology that seeks to identify and manage BSLs, aiming to provide investors with strong diversification and robust risk management. Anthelion co-founders, Vusal Najafov and Ewa Kozicz, serve as portfolio managers and recently announced the hiring of Alex Jenner, who brings 19 years of BSL and CLO investing experience from GIC and Octagon. Jenner will join the portfolio management team.

“This CLO transaction reflects Anthelion’s position at the intersection of advanced AI and active credit investing,” said Vusal Najafov. “We are excited to offer investors attractive opportunities in what we believe is an evolving leveraged loan landscape and thank Natixis Securities Americas LLC for their excellent contributions to our transaction. At Anthelion, we are committed to working with our partners and investors as we seek to achieve strong returns while focusing on limiting risk.”

Alphite Capital, Anthelion’s senior secured credit platform, has been building out its credit research team over the last twelve months, hiring experienced credit analysts with extensive CLO experience. Karsten Berlage, Alphite’s CEO, added: “The seamless collaboration of our experienced credit research team and Anthelion’s team of data scientists and software engineers, coupled with the strong backing of our capital providers, has positioned us well as we look to expand our credit business through additional CLO issuances in the future.”
