When examining the reinvestment profiles of deals managed by large managers with at least around $10 billion of US CLO AUM, it becomes evident that, on average, approximately a quarter of their AUM has already surpassed their reinvestment end dates. Furthermore, another nearly 18% of their AUM is projected to transition out of the reinvestment period within the next year. Notably, among the large managers, Elmwood Asset Management, AGL Credit and Oak Hill Advisors have the best reinvestment period profile.
Considering that there are always winners and losers in each industry, the diverse positioning by these managers across the aforementioned five industries helps support this point. The fact that managers with varying industry positions can still achieve favorable performance indicates that investors can benefit from a certain level of diversification in the EU CLO market.
