Our read on YCLO
CMost CLO ETFs park in AAA. YCLO roams the whole investment-grade CLO stack, US and European deals alike, run by Franklin's Benefit Street Partners credit desk with capital preservation as the stated first job.
The Fund seeks capital preservation and current income.
Why people hold it
- Active mandate across investment-grade CLO tranches in both US and European deals, hunting relative value instead of sitting only at the top of the stack.businesswire.comfranklintempleton.com
- Stated job is capital preservation and current income, and CLO tranches pay floating-rate coupons, so the income stream resets with short-term rates.businesswire.com
- The desk is not new to this: BSP is Franklin's alternative credit arm and its structured credit platform dates to 2009.businesswire.com
Worth knowing
- Costs 0.35% a year, above the CLO ETF median and above the big AAA-only names like JAAA, CLOA and PAAA. That is the price of the wider mandate.
- Reaching below AAA adds credit and downgrade risk; ratings on CLO tranches can be cut, and pricing can gap in stressed markets.businesswire.com
- Launched in 2026, thinly traded, and a concentrated book of a few dozen tranches, so wider spreads come with the territory. Income arrives quarterly.
