Explore the potential of AAA CLOs through ETF innovation
Collateralized loan obligations (CLO) have grown in popularity since their emergence in the late 1990s, with over USD 1 trillion outstanding as of March 20241.
AAA-rated CLOs combine high credit quality, floating-rate income, and low correlation to other asset classes. Through ETF structures, these benefits are now accessible to a broader audience – with daily liquidity, transparency, and cost efficiency.
