At approximately $199.4b through January 29th, the new year has picked up right where 2024 left off in terms of record levels of US institutional leveraged loan launches. That amounts to a new record after surpassing December 2024’s $187.9b, as issuers have continued to pile into the market to reprice existing debt. Loans have continued to attract investors into the new year as expectations that the Federal Reserve will hold rates higher for longer has buoyed the floating-rate asset class.
