ICLO: Mildly Disappointing (Rating Downgrade)
ICLO, an Invesco ETF with an 80/20 AAA/AA allocation, has underperformed pure AAA peers despite its higher risk allocation, prompting a downgrade to 'Hold'. The fund's 15% allocation to 'AA' securities aimed to enhance yield without significant drawdown but failed to outperform competitors like JAAA and PAAA. The underperformance is attributed to poor security selection by the portfolio management team, not the expense ratio, which is comparable to peers.
ICLO: Not A Fund I'd Consider With Rates Dropping
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.
ICLO: AAA-Rated CLO ETF, Good 6.7% SEC Yield, Strong Performance
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.
ICLO: Invests In AA-AAA Rated CLOs
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.
