Invesco AAA CLO Floating Rate Note ETF

ICLO is actively managed to invest in USD-denominated floating rate CLOs that are rated AAA or equivalent.

Floating rate notes excelled during the Fed's rate hike cycle, but their appeal may wane as we enter a rate-cutting phase. The Invesco AAA CLO Floating Rate Note ETF focuses on top-quality AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations, offering higher credit quality and protection against defaults. ICLO's narrow focus on AAA-rated CLOs might lead to lower returns compared to funds with riskier assets, especially in a tight credit spread environment.

CLO ETF performance has been outstanding these past few years. Most have seen below-average drawdowns, significant dividend growth, and massive outperformance with above-average yields. Yields range from 6.4% to 8.9%, and that is without leverage or excessive credit risk.

Is CLO Outperformance Set To Continue?

ICLO focuses on AAA-rated CLOs, high-quality, variable rate investments. I'm bullish on ICLO due to its 6.7% SEC yield, stable share price, and strong performance track record. It seems like a particularly compelling opportunity for more risk-averse, short-term investors.

Invesco AAA CLO Floating Rate Note ETF primarily invests in floating rate note securities issued by collateralized loan obligations rated AAA or AA. The ETF has $124 million in assets under management and a trailing twelve-month yield of 7.7%. After reviewing the ICLO ETF, I compare its performance against two other CLO ETFs that invest lower on the ratings scale with better results.
