Executive Summary ■ Deutsche Bank Securities Inc ("DB") is pleased to provide an overview of the Collateralized Loan Obligation ("CLO") market opportunity ■ Bank loans strategies have grown in popularity due to the unique features of the loan asset class (ie: senior secured status, attractive cash coupons and floating rate) ■ At present, these assets yield roughly 4.6%, with inherent downside protection arising from senior security. As such, loans offer an attractive risk-adjusted return ■ Some investors access loans on an unlevered basis through products such as mutual funds ■ Other investors recognize that the yield and stability of bank loans offer a prime opportunity to apply leverage to generate higher absolute returns ■ Experience shows that term, non-recourse, non-mark-to-market financing is the most secure way to leverage these assets ■ The most established method of attaining this type of leverage is via a structured financing or CLO structure, which has been employed for securitizing loans since the early 1990s ■ CLOs have performed well through the downturn delivering at least double digit returns in most cases(1)(2) ■ CLOs have gone from a niche part of the market to an accepted asset class for investors seeking risk adjusted returns and yield with an investment thesis which fits the current economic market and environment.
