November 24, 2020 – ArrowMark received honourable mention in the Investor of the Year category at Structured Credit Investor’s 2020 capital relief trades awards ceremony held on November 24th. The event recognized issuers, investors, individual transactions, and other third parties for their achievements and contributions to the regulatory capital relief market over the 12 months ending September 30th.
ArrowMark’s contribution to the industry was summarized as follows:
“ArrowMark has been a consistent and respected investor presence in the capital relief trades market since 2010, when it began deploying capital in the sector. That consistency and acceleration of capital deployment in the face of pandemic-driven volatility is what has earned the firm this year’s honourable mention in the Investor of the Year category. ArrowMark has been seen to be very active in all asset classes and markets throughout the awards year. Notably, the firm was able to quickly increase its focus in the secondary market, helping to bolster liquidity there as many stepped away from CRT primary and markets in general as the coronavirus crisis hit.”
– Structured Credit Investor
ArrowMark purchased more than $1.1bn of regulatory capital relief securities during the 12-month period, including more than $300mm of securities sourced from the secondary market following the onset of the pandemic.
One of the largest and longest tenured investors in the asset class, ArrowMark invested in 52 distinct regulatory capital relief transactions representing approximately $3.6bn of original par amount over the last 10 years. Historical investment activity reflects the diversity of the firm’s sourcing network and depth of fundamental research capabilities with transactions completed with 12 issuing banks across 30 lending platforms.
