A Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) is a type of structured financial product that pools together a collection of loans, typically corporate loans, and then repackages them into different tranches to be sold to investors. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

  • Loan Pooling: A variety of loans, often leveraged loans given to companies with lower credit ratings, are gathered into a single pool.
  • Tranching: This pool is then divided into different tranches, or slices, each with varying levels of risk and return. The senior tranches are considered safer and have priority in receiving payments, while the junior tranches are riskier but offer higher potential returns.
  • Interest and Principal Payments: Investors in the different tranches receive interest and principal payments based on the performance of the underlying loans. Senior tranche investors get paid first, and junior tranche investors get paid after them.
