Kevin Raymond, Aquarian Liquid Credit

ALC will manage Aquarian’s liquid credit strategies across asset classes, including CLOs, rooted in bottom-up, fundamental credit analysis. The platform will harness the combination of prudent credit selection and the embedded optionality of CLO equity through different cycles. ALC is backed by a strong belief that technology should be used to identify portfolio risk, provide transparency, and enhance investment performance.

The group will be led by Kevin Raymond, Partner and CLO Portfolio Manager, a proven leader with extensive experience in CLO portfolio management and performance analytics. In his previous role as Co-Portfolio Manager of CLOs and Leverage Loans at Vibrant Capital Partners, he was responsible for managing over $5 billion of CLO Assets and helped lead the issuance of new CLO transactions. Mr. Raymond originally joined Vibrant in 2016. Before that, he worked as a Senior Credit Analyst at Guggenheim Partners. He earned his BA in Economics from Bowdoin College.

“Aquarian’s disciplined, fundamentals-first approach to credit sets us apart,” said Mr. Raymond. “By combining deep credit experience with a sophisticated grasp of the CLO structure, we’re able to deliver performance that’s both resilient and optimized.”

Since its founding in 2017, Aquarian has grown to approximately $25.6 billion in assets under management (“AUM”), establishing itself as a significant player in the investment industry. Under the leadership of founder Rudy Sahay, Aquarian combines a holistic view of the investment landscape with incisive decision-making and deep investing acumen. Aquarian currently houses multiple investment teams, including Aquarian Strategic Opportunities, Aquarian Real Estate Partners, and Aquarian Private Credit.

“At Aquarian, we are guided by a long-term vision for building resilient strategies,” said Mr. Sahay. “Aquarian Liquid Credit is a natural extension of that vision, and under Kevin’s leadership, we are confident it will serve as a cornerstone for durable, investor-aligned portfolios.”

This new formation, along with the recently announced establishment of Aquarian Real Estate Partners, is part of Aquarian’s continued commitment to enhancing its investment platform.
