It is worth noting that CLO deals rarely reach maturity, leading to higher annual collateral par loss rates due to mark-to-market (MTM) losses. This, in turn, results in implied default rates that exceed reported defaults, factoring in trading losses and defaults.

It is worth noting that even though deals 1 and 2 had a similar healthy initial arbitrage or net interest margin (portfolio weighted average spread net of cost of funding), they ended up experiencing completely different IRRs. This suggests that having a good initial arbitrage metric is not always a reliable indicator of a deal's future performance.
