Below are tables presenting the MVOC (AAA-B) and EQ NAV of US BSL CLO deals by vintage, based on asset prices as of 9 June 2023.

The table below presents a list of seasoned EU CLO deals that exhibit single-digit annualised prepayment rates during the first and second years of the initial two-year period following their reinvestment period. The last two columns of the table display the annualised prepayment rates if no purchases were made after the RI end date. In other words, on average, these deals experienced a reduction of 15 percentage points and 11 percentage points in their annual prepayment rates during the first and second years following their reinvestment period, respectively, thanks to the purchases made.

Examining the exposure below the €80, €70 and €60 price buckets provides valuable insights into the tail risk of the collateral pool. However, it is important to note that these figures may be influenced by trading activities, which can distort the results. For instance, CLO managers may have realized credit losses and lost par due to trading underperforming assets. Therefore, data on the change in portfolio par since inception has been included to provide additional context.

If no purchases were made after the RI end date, prepayment rates (based on the original collateral balance) for the first two years post-RI would be significantly higher than they currently are, as shown in the table below. In other words, on average, these deals reduced their annual prepayment rates by 21 percentage points and 24 percentage points for the first and second year following their reinvestment period, respectively.
