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

EUR AAA CLO

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

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.

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

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.

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

1 x AA trade APID 2021-37A B covers 97.17 at 210dm / 6.9y WAL – strong MVOC 124.7 and lower coupon structure +160bps to benchmarks so this does trade inside our AA Index 239dm.  Single-As trade 240dm-373dm with our single-A Index 324dm, well inside the index is a very short dated / deleveraging MM CLO DIMND 2019-1A CR CVR 100 at 240dm / 0.8y WAL so off index.  There are 5 x BB trades 802dm-1154dm with our BB Index unchanged 894dm, at the tight end is a Blackrock managed bond MAGNE 2015-15A ER CVR 88.58 at 802dm / 5.6y WAL – MVOC is in line 101.2 but coupon is low +520bps and this is a reflection of the high quality manager and hence does trade well inside our index.  The remaining trades wide of our index are scaled back predominantly due to MV shortfalls as we have been seeing of recent times.

EUR AAA CLO

AAAs have tightened again – by around 3 to 5 bps. Today’s trades average 172dm.

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

$96m of liquidity today across 31 trades with all trades in the mezz space, US LSTA 100 Index rallies +13bp dod and BB CLO spreads where the most liquidity is seen do tighten.  With regards to the few AA, single-A and BBB trades today these are all off index as post reinvestment.  27 x BB trade 690dm-1379dm with benchmarks 848dm-922dm with our BB Index tightening to 894dm, progressive MVOC levels account for those trades inside the index with weaker MVOC and coupon structure accounting for those wide of the index, BABSN 2015-IA ER covers 72.67 at 1379dm / 5.1y WAL – MVOC has a significant shortfall 97.43 and is imminently ending reinvestment whilst Jnr OC cushion is cuspy 1.5.

EUR AAA CLO

Spreads are holding steady at the moment. AAAs traded around +175 today.

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

Just one cover today, US leveraged loans continue to rally with US LSTA 100 now 2464.45 which is +66bp wow.  CLO spreads are tightening but at a slower pace, the trade today is UNPPK 2022-1A E CVR 93.37 at 849dm / 9.1y WAL (EoRP 2027) - coupon is high +718bps and MVOC is strong 102.01 and does trade inside our BB Index 917dm given the strong NAV, metrics are clean and the manager is a benchmark name Blackstone.

EUR AAA CLO

A good supply of trades today. AAAs have traded around 180dm – these are all seasoned, lower margin deals. They appear to have a found a level here from the north of +200 they were at at the end of last year. We think current margin deals ie new issue levels are still L200s.

EUR AAA CLO

A strong day for AAAs today. The average spread level is well inside +200 now. In fact today’s trades are at +178. We are seeing around 15 – 20 bps tightening in AAAs.

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

USD CLO AAA

20 trades today across $177m of liquidity, CLO spreads continue to grind tighter with US LSTA 100 Index +18bp dod.  AAA trade 151dm—202dm with benchmarks 155dm-177dm with our AAA Index tightening to 172dm, bonds tighter to the index are driven by manager record and those wider are driven by MVOC, coupon structure and to a lesser extent manager performance.

USD CLO Mezz/Equity

Single-A trade 318dm-348dm with our single-A Index tighter at 324dm.  BBB trade 407dm-634dm with our BBB Index 461dm, a similar story to AAA bonds with manager tiering influencing execution and coupon structure scaling those bonds with higher margin to the wider end of this range, eg. APEXC 2019-2A D CVR 89.07 at 634dm / 6.6y WAL – MVOC is in line 106.7 as are other metrics but the coupon is 405dm (well wide to benchmarks in mid-300s context).  BB trade 765dm-828dm with our BB Index 919dm with bonds with strong MVOC (>102) influencing execution.
