33. How much demand is there absent CLOs? We know that € 34 bn of loan supply was issued to investors other than CLOs last year, non-traditional investors have been adding exposure, and cash has been accumulating. What if the calendar doesn’t clear? Absent deals committed to in the 1H’07, there really hasn’t been any supply. Banks may find room to fund solid credits looking forward, but shareholder-friendly deals seem unlikely (€ 140 bn last year). Bottom Line: The leveraged finance market is shrinking, but that does not mean broad market pricing is “rich” per se.
