Recent Findings (Arb Structure, Implied Default Rates, Size)

  • The post-financial crisis arbitrage US CLO structure appears to be too conservative?
  • The implied annual default rates for 52 seasoned US CLO managers range from 0.5% to 4.6%!
  • Generally speaking, bigger US CLO managers seem to do better than their smaller counterparts.
