The underlying modeled collateral spreads are crucial for equity investors, as these modeled spreads are key in determining the issue price of CLO equity tranches.

The following table presents the average first-year, second-year, and third-year annualized prepayment rates for each manager, based on data from their seasoned deals that have their reinvestment end dates ending before January 2024.
