Voya Investments LLC
Voya Investments LLC Investment ManagersFinance VIL serves as the investment adviser to certain CLOs, and historically supervised and directed the investment and reinvestment of the CLOs’ assets. The CLOs’ investment strategy was to invest primarily in below investment grade, floating rate senior loans that carry a higher-than-normal risk that borrowers may default in the timely payment of principal and interest on their loans, which would likely negatively impact the value of a CLO’s portfolio. | Finance |
