While each CLO deal is different, understanding the historical prepayment rates during the post-RP for each manager remains highly beneficial. Analysing these rates offers insights into the tendencies of different managers, highlighting those who consistently achieve lower prepayment rates and those who tend to experience higher rates in the post-reinvestment phase.
In particular, 12 EU CLO managers have kept their annualised prepayment rates in the single digits for the first and second years post-RP, as shown in the table below. Among them, 5 managers have so far demonstrated the ability to keep annualised prepayment rates in the single digits for the first to third years post-RP.
