Citigroup Inc. (C) raised a $612 million collateralized loan obligation for BlackRock Inc., according to a person with knowledge of the deal.
The fund includes a $360 million slice rated AAA that pays a rate of 139 basis points more than the London interbank offered rate and a second $12 million piece with the same grade that pays 214 basis points more than the benchmark rate, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the terms are private.
