Employer Summary:

Octagon Credit Investors, LLC is a 25+ year old, $32B+ investment adviser focused on leveraged loan,

high yield bond, and structured credit (CLO debt and equity) investments. Through fundamental credit

analysis and active portfolio management, Octagon's investment team identifies attractive relative value

portfolio risk. Over its history, the firm has applied a disciplined, repeatable, and scalable approach in its

effort to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for its investors.

The firm was founded in 1994 as a separate business unit of Chemical Bank and in 1999, Octagon spun
