Eagle Point Income operates as a closed end management company with a focus on CLO debt investments. EIC focuses on BB-rated CLO debt investments made on a floating rate basis. This floating rate focus helps generate higher earnings with higher interest rates. The dividend distribution is well-covered by net investment income and recurring cash distributions, making EIC a sustainable income investment.
The CLO equity senior security sector is easy to overlook, but it has a number of attractive features such as high yields, strong asset coverage levels and mandatory maturities. We review the sector, the most common pitfalls and discuss a couple of head-to-head comparisons. Finally, we provide a detailed risk/reward summary and highlight our picks.
Eagle Point Credit Management manages two CLO-focused CEFs, with Eagle Point Income Company offering a nearly 15% yield. Closed-end funds offer high yields through various strategies, including collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs. EIC invests in lower-rated debt tranches of CLOs, providing high yields and growing dividends, outperforming its larger sister fund, ECC.
