This actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) aims to achieve its investment goal by primarily allocating its capital. Under typical circumstances, it commits a minimum of 80% of its net assets—including any funds borrowed for investment purposes—to collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). Upon acquisition, these CLOs are required to possess a credit rating between BBB+ and B-, or an equivalent assessment from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Importantly, the fund is structured as non-diversified.
Is CLOZ's expense ratio expensive, average, or a steal for its category?
Pro reveals the verdict on a 5-tier spectrum calibrated against ICI 2025 industry averages, with strategy-aware bands so the comparison is meaningful.
I highlight four ETFs—PFIX, RISR, SRLN, CLOZ—offering 6-7% yields and hedging against rising rates and inflation. PFIX is a tactical, volatile interest rate hedge with a 7% distribution and strong historical total returns, best used as a short-term position. RISR, SRLN, and CLOZ provide steady monthly income, lower volatility, and benefit from higher rates, with RISR and CLOZ offering alternative hedging strategies.
Three ETFs built around Treasury bills and floating-rate loan bundles can quietly stack up a serious monthly income stream without a single dividend stock in sight, and the way they divide risk across three very different rungs of the credit ladder is worth understanding before you assume higher yield always means more rate exposure.
The Fed just moved rates higher for the first time in years, and your core bond fund gave you nothing for it.
Eldridge BBB-B CLO ETF remains a buy, now positioned as an income anchor amid higher-for-longer interest rates. CLOZ offers a 6.8% estimated annual yield, with monthly distributions and a portfolio shift toward higher-quality BBB CLOs for risk mitigation. Despite underperforming peers YTD due to higher BB tranche exposure, CLOZ's AUM has grown, reflecting renewed investor confidence post-Fed meeting.
As credit spreads narrow, fewer and fewer high-yield ETFs are compelling buys. There are exceptions, and I'll be showcasing three of these in this article: CEFS, CLOZ, and JEMB. CLOZ's CLO portfolio provides the highest 7.2% dividend yield and the strongest risk-adjusted returns.
