Eldridge CLO 2026-3 Secures $504.25M in Funding via Goldman Sachs Underwriting
As of February 27, 2026, Eldridge CLO 2026-3 has successfully raised $504.25 million through a structured financing transaction led by Goldman Sachs & Co. as the lead underwriter. This collateralized loan obligation (CLO) represents a pooled investment vehicle designed to aggregate a diversified portfolio of senior secured corporate loans, offering investors exposure to leveraged credit markets while mitigating individual borrower risk through structural diversification according to CLO structure and collateral composition.

The issuance structure includes multiple tranches of fixed- and floating-rate notes, catering to varying risk-return profiles. According to the offering documents, the CLO's collateral portfolio comprises over 150 underlying assets, primarily consisting of first-lien loans across sectors such as industrials, technology, and consumer services with sector allocation and loan metrics. The weighted average leverage loan interest rate for the portfolio stands at approximately 9.25%, with a maturity profile averaging 5.5 years as portfolio leverage and interest rate data.

Goldman Sachs' role as underwriter involved pricing the transaction in a market environment characterized by moderate yield volatility and sustained demand for alternative fixed-income instruments. The CLO's final leverage ratio is reported at 3.2x, aligning with industry norms for similar structures according to underwriting terms and leverage ratios. Investors were offered a range of note classes, including investment-grade-rated tranches, to accommodate differing capital allocation strategies as noted in note class offerings and ratings.

The transaction underscores ongoing investor appetite for CLOs amid a broader search for yield in a low-interest-rate environment. However, market participants remain cautious about potential refinancing risks as the CLO approaches its 2026 maturity date, particularly in light of evolving credit conditions according to market analysis and risk considerations.

This issuance follows regulatory compliance frameworks, including SEC registration, and is managed by Eldridge CLO Management, which oversees collateral reinvestment and administrative functions as per regulatory compliance and management framework. Further updates on the CLO's performance will be disclosed in periodic investor reports.
