Egan-Jones CLO* Summary Report (Oct 2022)

Some comfort. During the 2008 Credit Crisis, CLOs were among the best-performing areas of structured finance, in contrast to the disasters in RMBS and CMBS. Current performance provides some comfort whereby BBB are trading near SOFR + 650bps at a 2% discount, translating into a 10% yield. Given the 7% subordination (see chart II-A below) and the 50% recovery rates, currently, 15% of the portfolio could default before losses attach.
