Sycamore Tree Capital Partners Closes $505M CLO 

Sycamore Tree Capital Partners, L.P. has closed its seventh collateralized loan obligation, STCP 2025-7, a $505 million vehicle investing in the broadly syndicated loans of U.S. companies. 

The Fund was initially offered at $400 million and upsized to $505 million due to strong investor demand. STCP CLO 7 marks Sycamore Tree’s second new-issue CLO of 2025, as well as its second structure designed to comply with European risk retention regulations. It is also the second investment completed with participation from Sycamore Tree CLO Fund II.  

This latest transaction represents the firm’s sixth consecutive CLO, closing at $500 million or more. JPMorgan served as the Fund’s underwriter. 

“We appreciate and thank the investors who have partnered with us on STCP CLO 7,” said Paul Travers, managing director and portfolio manager of Sycamore Tree. “International investors represent approximately 25% of the Fund’s debt, underscoring the growing global community investing in Sycamore Tree CLOs.
