Clearlake expands credit platform with acquisition of LCM CLO management contracts. June 11, 2026 Clearlake Capital Group has expanded its liquid credit business through the acquisition of collateralized loan obligation (CLO) management contracts from LCM Asset Management, a move that adds more than $5 billion in assets under management and strengthens the firm's position in the institutional credit market. The transaction will transfer management of 31 CLOs previously overseen by LCM Asset Management to Clearlake Credit, the firm's credit investing platform. Following the acquisition, Clearlake Credit's assets under management will increase to approximately $39 billion across liquid credit, private credit and customized credit strategies. The deal marks another step in Clearlake's effort to broaden its credit capabilities as institutional investors continue allocating capital across a wider range of private and public credit products. By adding an established CLO portfolio, the firm expands its presence in the leveraged loan market while increasing the scale of its liquid credit platform. Clearlake said the acquisition enhances its ability to serve institutional investors seeking diversified credit exposure and complements its existing private credit and structured credit offerings. The firm also noted that the transaction supports its strategy of delivering risk-adjusted returns across varying market environments while strengthening long-term client relationships. The addition of the CLO portfolio increases the breadth of investment solutions available through Clearlake Credit, which has become an increasingly important component of the firm's broader investment platform. Credit managers have benefited from growing demand among pension funds, insurance companies, endowments and other institutional investors seeking yield, diversification and flexible financing solutions. Founded in 2006, Clearlake has evolved into one of the largest alternative asset managers globally, overseeing more than $185 billion in assets under management. The firm invests across private equity, credit, infrastructure, secondaries, co-investments and other private market strategies. Through Pathway Capital Management, a Clearlake company, it also provides institutional and wealth management clients with access to diversified private market investments. Clearlake's investment approach centers on its O.P.S.(R) framework, which emphasizes operational improvement, talent development and strategic execution across portfolio companies. The firm partners with management teams across multiple sectors and typically takes a long-term approach to value creation. The acquisition of the LCM CLO contracts reflects continued consolidation and scale-building within the credit management industry, where firms are increasingly seeking larger platforms and broader product offerings to meet evolving investor demand. Expanding assets under management through established CLO portfolios can provide managers with additional operating scale, deeper investor relationships and greater flexibility across credit market opportunities. Milbank LLP and Dechert LLP served as legal counsel to Clearlake Credit in the transaction. GreensLedge Capital Markets acted as financial adviser to the seller. Headquartered in Santa Monica, California, Clearlake operates 14 offices across the Americas, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The firm said the transaction further strengthens its integrated credit platform and positions it to continue expanding its presence across liquid and private credit markets.
