CLOs: Lower Duration Risk and Pick Up Yield

With higher relative yields, a history of strong risk-adjusted returns, and protection against rising rates, we believe there is a strong case for a strategic allocation to Collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) within an income portfolio. Over the long term, CLOs have historically performed well relative to other corporate debt categories, particularly when a broad investment grade approach is taken. CLOs are also structured to help mitigate risk, with subordination to absorb losses and other built-in protections. Furthermore, CLOs are floating rate instruments, which we believe makes them an attractive alternative in a rising rate environment.

Join VanEck Portfolio Manager, Fran Rodilosso, and PineBridge Portfolio Manager, Laila Kollmorgen for a discussion about the current market environment, how to approach CLO investing and how CLOs can fit into a portfolio.
