Why European CLOs are Winning the 2026 Credit Cycle

 

Join the Financial Times and industry leaders from J.P. Morgan, Blackstone, and Pearl Diver Capital to analyze why European CLOs remain a "choice strategy" while wider credit markets face mounting pressure.

As we enter 2026, the European credit market remains uneven, with volatility and selective risk appetite affecting different assets in different ways. Against that backdrop, European CLOs have held up better than many other areas of credit. For investors, the focus now is less on broad market direction and more on understanding where demand and risk-adjusted opportunities sit.
