ACLOATCW AAA CLO ETF

GCLO—Guggenheim Investment Grade CLO ETF

In short

ACLO A 2024 arrival in the crowded AAA CLO aisle. TCW runs it actively, holding roughly 300 of the highest-rated slices of leveraged-loan pools, paying income monthly, at a fee matching the category's cheapest tier.

GCLO No data

Stated mandate

ACLO The fund seeks capital preservation and current income through principal investment in U.S. dollar-denominated AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations.

GCLO No data

Why people hold it

  • ACLO At 0.20% it undercuts the AAA CLO cohort median of 0.25% and matches the cheapest names in the group, including JAAA and CLOA.
  • The mandate is stated narrowly: capital preservation and current income from US dollar AAA-rated CLOs, the top-rated tranches of the structure.tcw.com
  • Roughly 300 positions, chosen deal by deal rather than tracked, so no single CLO carries the portfolio.
  • Pays monthly, and the portfolio itself grades out as one of the stronger books among AAA CLO funds.

GCLO No data

Worth knowing

  • ACLO It trades lightly next to the giants of the category, so spreads can run wider. Limit orders earn their keep here.
  • Launched in late 2024, so the record is short and has not spanned a full credit cycle.
  • Active with no declared index, so there is no tracking figure to hold it to. Results ride on TCW's deal selection.
