Seeing Beyond the Complexity
Collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) have been attracting increasing attention as investors broaden their horizons in the search for yield.
While many investors know that CLOs have historically yielded attractive performance versus other fixed income strategies, they may not know the full extent of the benefits – as well as the distinct risks.
With PineBridge’s deep legacy in specialized fixed income, we aim to demystify CLOs for investors considering an allocation to this asset class.
What is a CLO?
Put simply, a collateralized loan obligation is a portfolio of leveraged loans that is securitized and actively managed as a fund. Each CLO is structured as a series of tranches that are interest-paying bonds, along with a small portion of equity.
An Introduction to Collateralized Loan Obligations
Explore our in-depth primer to learn about CLOs – how they work as well as the potential protections, benefits, and risks investors should consider when considering an allocation to this asset class.

CLOs are complex, but well worth understanding. We provide a simple breakdown of how CLOs work, what they’re made of, and how they mitigate risk to investors.
CLOs: Why Now
CLOs have gotten better with age, with enhancements aimed to mitigate structural risk – and they may be especially compelling in today’s low-yield environment.

CLO equity may provide significant investor benefits, including the potential for attractive returns, high current income, and persistent cash flows.
