Volta Finance's Strong 2024 Performance Sets Positive Tone for 2025

Volta Finance Limited achieved a 21.2% total NAV return in 2024, surpassing key benchmarks: B-rated CLO tranches at 19.2%, US high yield at 8.2%, Euro high yield at 8.6%, and global loans at 7.3%. This result highlights both favorable market conditions and effective asset selection and portfolio management by Volta.

The outlook for 2025 remains positive for CLOs, with anticipated market growth. This growth is partially driven by loans issued to support increased private equity activity. Default rates are expected to remain stable or possibly decrease, partially counteracting spread tightening and fewer pull to par benefits from loan restructuring. AXA IM's asset management excellence is proven across economic cycles.
