PARIS—Japan's Palme d'Or winner Hirokazu Kore-eda unveiled his new movie 'Monster' at Cannes on Wednesday, May 17, a heartwarming tale despite its ominous title. Treating issues including bullying and domestic abuse, 'Monster' bears many hallmarks of Kore-eda's tender cinema about tough lives and unconventional families that already won him the top prize in Cannes in 2018 for 'Shoplifters.' 'Monster' begins as a disquieting tale of teacher-pupil harassment with a clear baddie, but judgments are swiftly revised as the film switches points of view.

Fund managers keen to restart the lucrative CLO-making machine are having to stretch the bounds of what counts as collateral behind these deals. As their name suggests, collateralised loan obligations (CLOs) are designed to bundle up leveraged loans, a type of debt that typically gives holders the first claim in a default. Increasingly, though, CLOs are turning to another type of debt - junk bonds - for the security packages that underpin the investment vehicles that are sold to insurers and pension funds.
