Products and Services

• Debt Tranche Investments

These are investments in the debt portions of CLOs, which might include senior, mezzanine, or subordinate debt layers. These tranches are differentiated by their risk profiles, interest rates, and repayment priorities in the event of default. Investing in debt tranches typically offers more stable returns compared to equity tranches and is considered lower risk due to their prioritized claim on the CLO's cash flows.

• Equity Tranche Investments

Oxford Lane Capital also invests in the equity tranches of CLOs, which are the lowest priority in terms of repayment but offer potential for higher returns. Equity tranches bear the most risk because investors in these tranches are the last to be paid in case of defaults or other adverse events. However, they also stand to gain the most in favorable conditions, as they are entitled to residual cash flows after all debt tranches have been serviced. This type of investment is geared towards those who are seeking higher yield opportunities and are comfortable with taking on greater risk.
