Sculptor Capital Management, Inc. (“Sculptor” or the “Firm”), a leading global alternative asset manager specializing in opportunistic investing, announced today the closing of Sculptor CLO XXXVI (“Sculptor CLO 36” or “CLO 36”), a $400 million collateralized loan obligation (CLO) transaction. With the closing of CLO 36, Sculptor currently manages a global suite of CLOs and CBOs totaling approximately $13.2 billion across both the US and Europe.

Sculptor CLO 36 is backed by a near-fully ramped $400 million portfolio of senior secured loans. The transaction’s AAA tranche priced at SOFR+125 basis points, surpassing the recently closed CLO 37 as the tightest new-issue pricing achieved by the platform for a transaction with a five-year reinvestment and two-year non-call period. The deal attracted strong demand across both debt and equity tranches from a diverse group of leading global institutional investors. Wells Fargo served as the arranger.

Josh Eisenberger, Executive Managing Director and Sculptor’s Head of U.S. CLO Management, said, “Kicking off 2026 with the closing of CLO 36 underscores the continued momentum of our credit platform. Strong investor demand and disciplined portfolio construction enabled us to achieve our tightest new-issue pricing to date for a transaction of this structure. This result reflects the consistency of our underwriting and active portfolio management across market cycles.”

CLO 36 marks Sculptor’s first new issue CLO of 2026 and follows an active 2025 for the platform, during which Sculptor completed eight total transactions. With the closing of Sculptor CLO 36, Sculptor has issued 49 CLOs and CBOs across the US and Europe since 2012. As of December 31, 2025, Sculptor manages approximately $22.4 billion in credit assets globally across a broad range of strategies, leveraging its core capabilities in corporate, asset-based, and real estate credit.
