AAA CLOs are broadly similar investments to t-bills, with a bit more in yield, a bit more in risk. PAAA is one of the largest AAA CLO ETFs in the market, providing simple, cheap, diversified exposure to these investments. The fund currently yields 4.8%, a strong amount considering its overall risk and volatility.
Markets may have ended the first quarter with a thud, but stocks put another record run in the books to close out the first half of 2026. The U.S. ETF market had already shattered records, crossing the $15 trillion threshold and cruising past $1 trillion in net inflows right before summer officially began.

PGIM AAA CLO ETF remains a defensive, capital-preserving income vehicle, offering a 5.3% yield from a portfolio of AAA-rated CLOs. PAAA is best suited for investors prioritizing stability and income over equity market growth, especially in uncertain or elevated interest rate environments.

In the face of 2026 market volatility, I recommend reallocating capital to JAAA and PAAA for ultra-defensive positioning. JAAA and PAAA, with 90%+ AAA CLO exposure, offer 5.0-5.6% yields, near-zero duration, and minimal drawdown risk. A 50/50 JAAA/PAAA blend optimizes liquidity, diversifies management risk, and delivers a 5.37% yield with just 1.63% max drawdown.
The PGIM AAA CLO ETF (PAAA) offers a 5% yield with ultra-low duration (~0.1 years), making it a highly stable, rate-insulated portfolio anchor. PAAA is best used as a stabilizer in both mid-yield (6–8%) and high-yield (10–15%) income portfolios, not as a primary income engine. PAAA's conservative focus on the most senior AAA CLO tranches differentiates it from peers, providing superior protection during credit drawdowns.
The opening act of 2026 has been nothing short of historic for the ETF industry, and fixed income is experiencing one of the strongest starts to a year on record.
