    Employer Summary:

    Octagon Credit Investors, LLC is a 25+ year old, $32B+ investment adviser focused on leveraged loan,

    high yield bond, and structured credit (CLO debt and equity) investments. Through fundamental credit

    analysis and active portfolio management, Octagon's investment team identifies attractive relative value

    opportunities across below-investment grade asset classes, sectors, and issuers. Octagon's investment

    philosophy and methodology encourage and rely upon dynamic internal communication to manage

    portfolio risk. Over its history, the firm has applied a disciplined, repeatable, and scalable approach in its

    effort to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for its investors.

    The firm was founded in 1994 as a separate business unit of Chemical Bank and in 1999, Octagon spun

    Octagon.

    Octagon believes that providing a challenging and rewarding career, combined with a supportive work
