USD CLO Mezz/Equity

1 x single-A trade in reinvestment CANYC 2019-1A CR cover 95.22 at 327dm / 5y WAL (EoRP 2024) – MVOC at benchmark 116.3 managed by Canyon Capital and trades near our single-A Index 322dm.  BBB trade 444dm-469dm with 2 of these post reinvestment bonds and the other is ANCHC 2020-15A DR CVR 92.8 at 469dm / 7.8y WAL – MVOC 111.8 but high WARF 3217 and weaker manager record (Anchorage) pull this wide of the BBB Index 427dm.

USD CLO AAA

$275m of liquidity today across the stack, with US LSTA continuing to soften -13bp dod.  AAA soften too, trading range today is 143dm-175dm with benchmarks 143dm-158dm and our AAA Index shifting to 145dm.

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

In mezz, most of the activity is in BB with 18 trades in a 761dm-1040dm range with benchmarks 851dm-935dm and our BB Index shifting wider to 872dm, the wider end of the trading range (wide of index) includes a MM CLO and credits with weaker MVOCs (<103) whilst the tighter end of the range is dominated by credits with strong MVOCs (>104.5).

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

Just one trade today post holiday, US LSTA 100 Index -17bp on 17th close.  TRNTS 2020-12X E covers at 90.87 at 944dm / 7y WAL - strong MVOC 105 with high coupon +740bps and otherwise clean metrics and a good manager record, the coupon drags this wide to the BB Index 852dm

EUR AAA CLO

AAAs have traded around 174 dm. Bushy Park priced at +170. The BWIC trades are mostly amortising deals with low margins which we could have expected to trade tighter. This might indicate that AAAs have reached a level which is resistant to a further rally.

USD CLO AAA

Limited liquidity today given the holiday weekend with only 2 trades.  US LSTA 100 Index -18bp dod given the market's uncertainty on the peak of interest rate timing.  CIFC 2015-1A ARR covers 99.45 at 141dm / 1.9y WAL and is post reinvestment so trades inside the AAA Index.

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

1 x AA trade REG12 2019-1A BR cover 98.15 at 206dm / 4.7y WAL, low coupon +160bps but MVOC is in line and does trade inside the AA Index as a result with all metrics clean.

EUR AAA CLO

It is a light day in secondary BWICs since two deals priced in Primary. One AAA bond has traded, CRNCL 2022-15X A, which even though it is 171 dm, it is a low margin bond and we see this a slight softening in AAA levels. The New Issues priced at +175.

EUR AAA CLO

Only one AAA traded today. BRGPT 1X A traded at 179dm. This is slightly softer than our model predicted given its low margin, but still within the range of current price talk.

USD CLO AAA

$110m of liquidity today with $100m of this AAA trading which have tightened on the day, US LSTA 100 Index +7bp dod.  AAA trade 131dm-146dm with benchmarks 141dm-146dm and our AAA Index tightening to 145dm as the broader market continues to rally and MVOCs strengthen.  1 x MM CLO AAA GOCAP 2013-16A A1R2 covers 98.39 at 207dm / 4y WAL which is tighter than the 218dm area for the last trading comps near the end of January.

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

BBB trade 397dm-580dm with our BBB Index unchanged at 434dm, trades wide of the index are exclusively weaker MVOC (<108) which supports our index level with the tight end driven by MVOCs around 110 (+2pts on benchmark).

Blackrock) and higher coupon bonds trade wide of the index today with our index unchanged.

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

$110m of liquidity today, predominantly BBB and Equity with spreads remaining firm and US LSTA 100 +20bp dod.  BBB trade 385dm-474dm with benchmarks 418dm-441dm and our BBB Index unchanged at 434dm.  MVOC > 108 drives those trades inside the index.  At the wide end is TCW 2021-2A D CVR 91.5 at 474dm / 7.8y WAL (EoRP 2026) – MVOC is lower than benchmark 106.7 and the manager TCW has a weaker profile so execution is wide to our index.

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

$90m of liquidity, with the majority BBB/BB with spreads firmer at BBB, US LSTA flat dod.  BBB trade 371dm-448dm with benchmarks 406dm-448dm and our BBB Index tighter at 434dm, strong MVOC (>110) and low coupon (<300bps) drive trades inside the index.  15 x BB trades today, all wide of the index 970dm-1282dm given MVOCs on these trades are close to shortfall (average MVOC 100.7 today) with benchmarks in 102.70 context but the positive market dynamic does allow for execution wide of the index in a number of weaker names proving liquidity is strong.

EUR AAA CLO

Spreads continue to grind tighter today. AAAs have traded around 163dm, a recent tight. This is helped by AQUE 2021-6X A, a deal with good credit fundamentals.

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

Less than $10m exchanged hands today given month end, US LSTA saw it’s first day on day drop this year -1bp on yesterday’s close.  2 x AA trades in a 263dm-279dm range which are wide of our AA Index 234dm – one bond is high coupon and the other is post reinvestment.  2 x BB trades 791dm-960dm range and our BB Index 870dm, MAGNE 2015-15A ER is at the tight end with CVR 89.11 at 791dm / 5.6y WAL – very clean metrics and a benchmark manager Blackrock which usually trades inside our index, CGMS 2019-1A D (EoRP 2024) trades wide to the index CVR 88.15 at 960dm / 6.1y WAL – MVOC 101.23 which is lower than benchmarks like the Blackrock bond which is the key driver to execution whilst other metrics are in line.

EUR AAA CLO

USD CLO AAA

$113m of liquidity today, all IG with spreads firm, US LSTA 100 Index +8bp dod.  AAA trade 137dm-162dm with benchmarks 141dm-148dm and our AAA Index shifting to 144dm.

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

There are 2 x post reinvestment AA and single-A trades which execute inside the index given the very short wals, whilst BBB trade 391dm-458dm with benchmarks 437dm-446dm and our BBB Index in the middle of this range 443dm, NEUB 2016-21A DR2 covers 96.5 at 391dm / 7.6y WAL which is inside the index given the strong MVOC 108.64 (versus 107.6 benchmark), top tier manager name Neuberger and clean metrics.

EUR AAA CLO

Just the one AAA trade today. CLRPK 1X A1RR traded at 169dm, an unchanged level for AAAs.

EUR AAA CLO

Just 4 x AAAs today. They have traded at 171dm. They are all very seasoned deals, past their NC end periods and with low margins. We believe these spreads are in line with recent days.

EUR AAA CLO

Just 2 x AAAs today and both of them Sculptor deals. They have traded around 183dm which is exactly in line with AAA spreads.

USD CLO AAA

$93m of notional across 23 trades today, spreads continue to tighten evidenced by AAA and BB spreads today, US LSTA 100 Index +1bp dod.  AAA trade 136dm-195dm with benchmarks 142dm-157dm and our AAA Index tightening into 157dm, there are 2 x MM CLO AAAs that trade 213dm-225dm which see a significant shift from the last AAA trades at the end of 2022 in 270dm context, which is in line with the broader market rally.

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

BB trade 800dm-1471dm with benchmarks 868dm-910dm which is neatly wrapped around our BB Index 887dm, MVOC dynamics (into 103 context) drive those trades inside the index whilst the outlier trade is MP12 2018-1A E CVR 70.27 at 1471dm / 5.6y WAL – significant MV shortfall 97.8 MVOC, ADR 1%, Jnr OC cushion 1.96 (the manager Marble Point does run a lower cushion than the representative cohort) with bond close to end of reinvestment in July this year leaving little time to proactively resolve the shortfall.

EUR AAA CLO

AAAs are holding steady at 178dm. As an example SPAUL 5X ARR traded at 98.10 on 17 Jan 2023 and at 98.20 today.

USD CLO AAA

$170m of liquidity today across seniors, mezz and equity with spreads remaining firm, US LSTA 100 Index +10bp dod.  AAA trade 147dm-220dm with benchmarks 153dm-160dm with our AAA Index 160dm, with the wide end of the range (220dm) driven by a post reinvestment bond.

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

26 x BBB trade 372dm-555dm with benchmarks 417dm-499dm and our BBB Index tightening into 452dm, trades wide of the index are post reinvestment and those inside the index are MVOC driven so there is a tightening theme here.  BB trade 781dm-1068dm with benchmarks 872dm-917dm and our BB Index 892dm, similar theme to BBB in that MVOC drives those bonds inside the index but also those wide to the index given their proximity to MV shortfalls, eg. At the wide end is WELF 2019-XA DR CVR 82.55 at 1068dm / 6.8y WAL – MVOC 100.06 and other metrics largely in line.

EUR AAA CLO

A heavy day of EUR trading today. AAAs have traded around 166dm. This is a little firmer, especially in the longer maturities.

USD CLO AAA

100m of liquidity, all in AAA with spreads continuing to firm up, trading range today is 145dm-163dm (all bonds in reinvestment and benchmarks) with our AAA Index tightening into 161dm.
