Our story

Independent research,
built from scratch

ReviewPort was founded in 2018 with a clear mission: to be one of the first service companies dedicated exclusively to reviewing CLO offering documents. At the time, the market lacked a rigorous, independent research service focused purely on documentation quality and structural analysis.

The service is centred around analysis of each offering document and a comparison of relevant contemporaneous documentation - giving investors, managers, and legal teams the full context they need to make decisions with confidence.

Today, ReviewPort covers 90%+ of the European CLO market and provides extensive US coverage too, tracking over 900 transactions across 300+ manager entities, with a database of thousands of source documents spanning prelims through to final closes.

Our mission

Transforming offering circulars into structured insight

Our expert reviews transform complex offering circulars into structured, comprehensive documents - including data points and valuable commentaries - resulting in actionable insights that highlight changes, risks, and market trends.

Clarity

Transformation of complex legal documents into transparent and understandable content - so you always know exactly what you're investing in and what has changed from prior versions.

Insight

Generated by the combination of deep analysis, identification of relevant trends, and market intelligence built from years of hands-on CLO market experience and legal expertise.

Empowerment

The focus, quality, and structure of our reviews provide enhanced decision-making and negotiation abilities - turning complex documentation into a competitive advantage at every stage.


Our values

Transparency, accountability, and balanced perspectives

These principles guide every review we provide. We never take a position on behalf of issuers, managers, or investors - our sole purpose is to surface the facts clearly so that you can form your own informed view.

In a market where documentation quality directly affects returns and risk exposure, independence isn't just a principle - it's the foundation of everything we do.

Independence

We have no affiliation with managers, arrangers, or issuers. Every review is produced with complete analytical independence.

Rigour

Our methodology is consistent, systematic, and applied to every deal - from a small reset to the largest new-issue transactions.

Transparency

We show our work. Every finding is traceable back to the source document, with direct links so you can verify every data point.

Accountability

We stand behind our analysis. When the market evolves, our coverage evolves with it - and we update our methodology to reflect new structures.
