Bain Capital Credit, formerly known as Sankaty Advisors, and Regiment Capital Advisors, a Boston-based investment manager, today announced the signing of a definitive agreement for Bain Capital Credit to acquire the management contracts for four portfolios of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) totaling $1.6 billion of assets from Regiment. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The management contracts to be transferred are for Cavalry CLO II, Ltd., Cavalry CLO III, Ltd., Cavalry CLO IV, Ltd., and Cavalry CLO V, Ltd., all of which contain underlying assets across a diverse array of industries. Completion of the transaction is expected by the end of 2015 upon receipt of certain necessary consents.

Bain Capital Credit currently has 12 CLOs in the U.S. and Europe under their management. The acquisition of these contracts will bring Bain Capital Credit's CLO assets under management to $7.8 billion, and the firm’s total AUM to $28.7 billion.

“We are pleased to work with the team at Regiment, who we know well, to assume management responsibility for these CLO assets,” said Jonathan S. Lavine, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer, Bain Capital Credit. “These assets are complementary to our existing CLO portfolios, which have been an important part of the Bain Capital Credit platform since 1999.”

“We are pleased to work with Bain Capital Credit on this transaction given their long experience managing and investing in collateralized loan portfolios,” said Thomas Sorbo, a Managing Director at Regiment Capital Advisors. “We were selective in picking a partner to manage these assets, and believe Bain Capital Credit will be a strong and valued steward of these assets going forward."
