Post Advisory Group, a leading multi-strategy, value-oriented asset manager specializing in sub-investment grade corporate credit with $17.5 billion of assets under management, announced it has completed the capital raise for the Post CLO Equity Master Fund, LP (the Fund), together with associated feeder funds. The Fund, which will invest its capital in the equity of multiple Post-managed CLO transactions, was oversubscribed, raising $146 million from investors and surpassing the initial target of $120 million. Mercer’s private debt business acted as a strategic partner and an anchor investor in the Fund.

“CLO equity has demonstrated strong performance over an extended period of time and through different types of market environments, which continues to drive acceptance and investor interest in the asset class,” said Jeffrey Stroll, chief investment officer for Post Advisory Group. “We are excited to add this asset class to our suite of high yield and senior loan products and appreciate the confidence that investors have placed in our differentiated approach.”

Corporate pension funds, family offices, and high net worth individuals committed to the fund, in addition to significant co-investment from Post Advisory Group and the firm’s employees.
