About CLO ETF share class trading

1. ACCESS

A CLO ETF offers accessible exposure to floating-rate debt.

 

Historically CLOs have been a more difficult market for investors to gain exposure to, often limited to banks or pension funds to invest directly.

 

2. TRANSPARENCY

While the portfolio is actively traded, ETF holdings are regularly published with a full portfolio breakdown.

 

The Fair Oaks AAA CLO Fund offers investors access to an existing, high-quality, diversified portfolio. FAAA is compliant with the UCITS directive and diversification rules.

 

3. EFFICIENCY AND LIQUIDITY

CLO ETFs can provide diversification to fixed income portfolios without taking illiquidity risk.

 

The Fund offers investors the option to invest in either ETF or non-ETF share classes.  As listed classes, the ETF classes offer enhanced liquidity by enabling investors to quickly gain exposure to the CLO market and effectively rebalance portfolios as required.

Frequently asked questions

WHY LAUNCH A CLO ETF IN EUROPE
The Fair Oaks AAA CLO ETF is the industry’s first European-domiciled, Euro-denominated CLO. While the significant interest for CLO ETFs seen in the U.S. has predominately been in the AAA-rated CLO space, Fair Oaks is the first manager to bring a CLO ETF to Europe. Fair Oaks has the team and dedicated experience of managing and investing in CLOs across the ratings capital structure and knowledge of managing 100% CLO UCITS funds.
WHERE IS THE FAIR OAKS AAA CLO ETF AVAILABLE
The Fair Oaks AAA CLO ETF is listed in Germany on Deutsche Börse Xetra and the London Stock Exchange.

It is registered for distribution to investors in a broad range of European countries, initially including Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
HOW SHOULD CLO AAAs BE VIEWED WITHIN A PORTFOLIO
Fair Oaks believes CLO AAAs offer investors a unique combination of qualities compared to other available assets:

  1. No AAA-rated CLO has ever defaulted. This can give comfort to investors about its risk profile and speaks to its resilience through market cycles, as the first CLO was issued over 25 years ago.

  2. CLOs are floating rate, which means they also minimize any interest rate risk.

  3. CLOs offer a higher yield compared to many fixed income products, providing investors an attractive risk-adjusted return.
