Fair Oaks Capital's Portfolio Manager, Barry Povey, discussed the record 2025 year for European CLOs amidst market volatility and regulatory scrutiny on a panel hosted by Structured Credit Investor. Barry reflected on the CLO market over the past year, addressing how investors have shifted investment strategies to better navigate recent idiosyncratic credit events and the impact of rising CCC dynamics. The panel also explored the effect of macro volatility on spreads, regulatory developments affecting risk retention and capital treatment, and the significant uptick in refi/reset activity that has largely fuelled market momentum.

AAA CLOs trade at a persistent spread premium to highly rated corporate bonds, which investors seem to ascribe, among other factors, to the need to compensate for episodic tail-volatility events. This justification appears inconsistent with the evidence. As this analysis shows, AAA CLOs exhibit tighter daily return distributions and faster recoveries after stress events than their corporate peers. In other words, the market continues to price a “tail premium” for volatility based largely on perception rather than evidence. Thank you to Creditflux Debtwire for covering this topic!

The recent First Brands default once again highlighted the impact of idiosyncratic risk in credit markets — a reminder that even large investment grade or high-yield names can surprise investors. In our latest issue of The CLO Investor, “What does it take to break a AAA CLO?”, we explore why CLOs — and in particular the AAA tranche — remains largely insulated from such single-name risks. We revisit the fundamentals, quantify the scale of defaults required to impair AAA tranches, and highlight the structural protections and diversification that underpin the broader resilience of CLO securities.
