Huge breaking story from Bloomberg's Sonali Basak & Carmen Arroyo Nieto. Janus Henderson Investors agrees to buy Victory Park Capital Advisors to expand their Private Credit footprint, with a particular focus on ABF. This continues the trend of large asset managers acquiring specialty finance platforms, with Blue Owl Capital acquiring Atalaya Capital Management and Brookfield Asset Management acquiring Castlelake earlier this year. “Size does matter, as flippant as that sounds, especially in a global world,” - Victory Park CEO Richard Levy. With the huge potential and high investor interest in ABF, further consolidations in the market are probably to be expected.
