Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) were left for dead after the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008-2009. Since then, CLOs have made a surprising comeback. Their popularity among investors is partially the result of impressive CLO performance during the GFC and beyond. CLO notes issued before the GFC did not have material defaults, and many CLO equity securities issued prior to the GFC ended up with annualized returns above 20%. Today the CLO market has over $1 trillion in assets under management and has replaced banks as the largest lender to private equity-backed companies. CLO Investing: With an Emphasis on CLO Equity & BB Notes describes CLOs in detail, emphasizing the securities with the highest risk and reward potential, CLO BB notes and equity. The readers of this textbook will learn the characteristics of the CLO’s leveraged loans, financing structure, payment rules and tests, and historical returns. As CLOs are gaining in popularity, investment professionals of all varieties will benefit from author Shiloh Bates’s meticulous understanding of this unique market and the strategies for successfully investing in it. Book Revie 1: “For anyone wanting to learn about CLO Equity & BB Note asset classes, look no further.” -- Larry Swedroe, Head of Financial and Economic Research, Buckingham Asset Management Book Review 2: “Often described as the largest niche market nobody has ever heard of, Shiloh skillfully demystifies CLOs. Unique CLO concepts, such as their self-healing mechanism, are described in detail. This is your authoritative guide to the $1 trillion CLO asset class and CLO Equity and BB Notes in particular.” -- Steve Nesbitt, Chief Executive Officer, Cliffwater Book Review 3: “The industry has long needed a clear, thorough explanation of CLOs and their importance to markets. There's no one better qualified than Shiloh Bates to write it. He masterfully unpacks the details on vehicle structures as well as their role in the leverage finance ecosystem. This book is a must-read for anyone in the world of finance.” -- Randy Schwimmer, Co-Head of Senior Lending, Churchill Asset Management

The fastest growing sector of the asset-backed securities market is the collateralized debt obligation (CDO) market. CDOs are securities backed by a pool of diversified assets and are referred to as collateralized bond obligations (CBOs) when the underlying assets are bonds and as collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) when the underlying assets are bank loans. Investing in Collateralized Debt Obligations covers not only the fundamental features of these securities and the investment characteristics that make them attractive to a broad range of institutional investors, but also the tools for identifying relative value. Nearly a dozen of today's best known analysts discuss emerging market CBOs, relative value frameworks, pricing strategies and techniques, and more.

Although it is a highly desirable feature for securities markets in order to thrive, sufficient liquidity is barely recognized when being present. This study analyzes often neglected market liquidity in the corporate bond market after the introduction of comprehensive financial regulation in the USA, foremost associated with the Volcker Rule. Research identifies an increasing share of customer liquidity provision to be a reason for an underestimation of overall transaction costs, as spreads charged by customers are lower compared to market-makers' spreads. With customers providing liquidity where market-makers do not, the overall spread averages decrease. The author applies this research results to collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and the corporate bond market. This approach is new, since it directly tests the growth of liquidity provision by CLOs as non-Volcker affected vehicles replacing restricted market-makers.

The following descriptive paper surveys the various types of asset-backed securitisation (ABS) and provides a working definition of so-called collateralised loan obligations (CLOs), which allows issuers to sell large portfolios of commercial loans and their attendant credit risk directly to capital markets. Free of the common rhetoric and slogans, which sometimes substitute for understanding of the complex nature of structured finance, we describe the theoretical foundations of this specialised form of loan securitisation. The paper considers not only the distinctive properties and benefits of CLOs, but also the information economics inherent in the transfer of credit risk, in order to equally privilege the critical aspects of security design affecting the structure of CLO transactions.
