Why people hold it

• CLOC Cheapest seat in the CLO aisle: 0.18% a year against a 0.25% category median, and a step under the biggest AAA CLO funds (JAAA, CLOA, PAAA, FAAA, ACLO at 0.19%-0.20%).
• The mandate is unusually explicit: capital preservation first, low correlation with traditional asset classes second, current income third.
• Young, but it already stands in the upper half of a crowded 27-fund CLO group.

Worth knowing

• CLOC Thinly traded next to the multi-billion-dollar CLO names, so spreads can be wider and larger orders take patience.
• Launched in October 2025, so the history is short and there is not yet a full credit cycle to judge it by.
• Distributions have come on an irregular schedule rather than a fixed monthly rhythm, so income timing is less predictable.
