FAQ
CLOs are investment vehicles that are made up of a pool of loans extended to companies, these loans are then collated together and sold to investors as a single investment. Loans held within CLOs can be the source of finance utilised in mergers and acquisitions or to provide funding to businesses with poor credit.
CLOs bring investors a host of different benefits. Professional collateral managers manage the loans within a CLO, to help ensure effective risk management and maximise returns for the investor. CLOs are structured in tranches that have fluctuating degrees of risk, which in turn shields the safest parts of the investment from losses. CLOs are also more accessible and easier to trade than individual loans.
