Description

In this episode of Debtwired!, James Pade, partner and managing director at Clearlake Capital Group, joins Debtwire co-managing editor, Madalina Iacob, to discuss investing opportunities after Clearlake consolidated its credit arms under one roof.

Pade also digs into how lenders are navigating liability management exercises, the challenges faced by smaller CLO managers, and why strong sponsor relationships matter more than ever.

Pade notes that Clearlake recently had discussions with stakeholders focused on building stronger, more direct communication with CLO managers and broadly syndicated investors, although it was never an “apology tour.”
