About this item

Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) were left for dead after the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008-2009. Since then, CLOs have made a surprising comeback. Their popularity among investors is partially the result of impressive CLO performance during the GFC and beyond. CLO notes issued before the GFC did not have material defaults, and many CLO equity securities issued prior to the GFC ended up with annualized returns above 20%. Today the CLO market has over $1 trillion in assets under management and has replaced banks as the largest lender to private equity-backed companies.. CLO Investing: With an Emphasis on CLO Equity & BB Notes describes CLOs in detail, emphasizing the securities with the highest risk and reward potential, CLO BB notes and equity.
