June 10, 2025

Octaura, a FinTech company specialising in electronic trading and analytics for syndicated loans and collateralised loan obligations (CLOs), has raised $46.5m in a funding round to accelerate its market growth and innovation plans.

The oversubscribed round saw continued backing from founding investors including Bank of America, Citi, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo and Moody’s. New investors joining the round included Barclays, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, Apollo, Motive Partners, MassMutual Ventures and OMERS Ventures.

Founded in 2022, Octaura provides a digital platform for the trading, data and analytics of syndicated loans and CLOs. The firm aims to modernise market infrastructure by automating workflows across the full trade lifecycle and offering actionable insights through advanced analytics.

With this latest injection of capital, Octaura intends to deepen its presence in the loan market, launch its new CLO trading platform, and build out its data and analytics capabilities.

The funding comes on the back of notable growth for Octaura’s loan platform. Between April 2023 and April 2025, the company expanded its dealer network from just 3 to 25 and increased buy-side engagement from 34 to 146 firms. In the space of one year, its share of secondary loan trading volume rose from 1% to 4.6%.

Octaura CEO Brian Bejile said, “We’re thrilled to receive continued backing from our founding institutions and to welcome a group of new strategic investors who believe in Octaura’s vision. This round of fundraising marks an exciting new chapter for Octaura and this new capital will allow us to accelerate our efforts to digitize the credit market through continued innovation.”

Bank of America managing director David Trepanier said, “Being able to trade electronically has never been more integral to helping clients and dealers efficiently and effectively execute their syndicated loan and CLO trading strategies. As a founding member and original investor in Octaura, it has been rewarding to see the meaningful impact the platform is having in driving innovation in these markets.”
