Yvonne Stevens

Prior to founding HalseyPoint, Yvonne was the Co-Head and Senior Managing Director of the Leveraged Debt Group at Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (and its predecessor companies) for 18 years from April of 2000 through March 2018.

She was instrumental in building the platform to be one of the early CLO managers recognized for consistency and performance.

Prior to joining Columbia, Ms. Stevens was a portfolio manager at SunAmerica/AIG for seven years where, among other responsibilities, she developed a structured finance expertise in CLO mezzanine investments beginning in the early 1990s.

In addition to managing a $2 billion CLO mezzanine portfolio, she expanded that focus from investing to issuing CLOs as a manager, helping to raise and create the first SunAmerica-managed CLO named Galaxy in 1999.

Prior to SunAmerica, Ms. Stevens started her career in the bank training program at Irving Trust Bank and then subsequently worked at GE Capital in a loan underwriting and origination role.

Ms. Stevens received a BA from Wellesley College and an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
