Valitana has been named "Best CLO Data and Technology Provider - Innovation"
Valitana has been named "Best CLO Data and Technology Provider - Innovation" at the 2026 U.S. CLO Awards, presented by DealCatalyst. The awards recognize excellence across 25 categories in the broadly syndicated loan and private credit CLO markets, with winners voted on by members of the Loan Syndications and Trading Association (LSTA) and confirmed CLO investors.
The awards ceremony and gala dinner were held in New York at the conclusion of the first day of the 2026 Annual U.S. CLO Industry Conference. This year, 351 valid responses were received from 136 unique organizations, including 183 votes from issuers, managers and investors.
"Thanks to all the members of the LSTA and the active CLO investors who voted," said Jade Friedensohn, Co-Founder and CEO of DealCatalyst. "Over 50% of the votes came from issuers, managers and investors. These awards really do take the pulse of the people that matter in this market. Congratulations to all the winners."
"I'm so honored by this recognition. A huge thank you goes out to all our clients and partners for trusting in us and voting for us," said Alex Belgrade, Managing Partner at Valitana. "This is a direct reflection of the work the entire Valitana team puts in daily. They bring passion, perseverance, and a strong sense of purpose to every interaction - whether it's building product features, refining our processes, or supporting clients - and consistently push for better outcomes. I'm so proud of what we've built together and excited for what we're yet to build."
About the Methodology
Voting ran from February 5 to March 20, 2026. Of 689 entrants, 351 responses were validated after the removal of tests, self-votes, duplicates and non-LSTA-member submissions. Points were allocated on a weighted basis - three points for a first-place vote, two for second and one for third - with weightings applied to account for differences in voting allowances by organization type. Highly commended organizations came within 15% of the winner's total points. Full methodology is available at dealcatalyst.io/us-clo-awards.
