MidOcean Partners, a premier New York-based alternative asset manager that specializes in private equity and alternative credit investments, has appointed Adrienne Dale as a portfolio manager for MidOcean Credit Partners collateralised loan obligation (CLO) strategies.

Dale will report to Jim Wiant, who oversees MidOcean’s existing CLO business, as the company looks to expand and scale the business further. With over USD4 billion in assets and nine existing CLO transactions, MidOcean’s CLO strategies are an integral aspect of the firm’s USD8-plus billion credit platform.

“Adrienne’s deep expertise and long tenure in the CLO business will be a valuable asset to the MidOcean Credit team,” says Wiant. “We’re thrilled to have her join us as we focus on adding scale, strengthening our resources and continuing to drive value for our investors.”

Dale joins MidOcean with nearly two decades of experience in corporate credit. Most recently, she held senior positions in Credit Suisse Asset Management’s Credit Investments Group, a premier issuer and manager of CLOs, where she spent the past 14 years.
