A sample of 1,640 US BSL CLO deals (vintage 2013–1H 2025) is included in this study. Deals with a collateral pool factor below 55% are excluded. The MVOC percentile at the BB level is used because it is less affected by deleveraging than the corresponding MVOC percentiles at the AAA, AA, or single-A levels, making it a more meaningful measure of principal preservation.
