A euro-denominated leveraged loan issued in support of a leveraged buyout by a private equity firm with a 5-7 years’ maturity pays a 4.43% yield (flat from last week) and a 5.65% year-to-date total return (from 5.58%).
These are the figures that emerge reading the Ver Capital Leveraged Loan Index, an index that Ver Capital sgr has specifically built for BeBeez and that will be updated weekly.

. The wrost weekly performance was as well as last week the one relating to Angus Chemical (-0.56%),  a chemical group which was sold by Dow Chemical to Golden Gate Capital in August 2015 . All that when the entire portfolio had a +0.06% performance last week.
