CLO FAQs
What are Collateralized Loan Obligations?
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. CLOs are often used in mergers and acquisitions or to provide funding to businesses with poor credit.
What are the advantages of CLOs?
CLOs bring investors a host of different benefits. Professional collateral managers manage the loans within a CLO, to help ensure effective risk management and maximize 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.
What is the difference between Collateralized Loan Obligations and Collateralized Debt Obligations?
CLOs and Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) are two different types of investment vehicles. A CDO is made up of multiple loans and other assets (like mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards), and they are sold to investors who earn money from the loan repayments.
A CLO has a similar structure to a CDO, but it’s made up of loans to smaller companies that typically cannot issue bonds to borrow money – so they obtain loans from commercial banks instead.
