Investment Thesis

JAAA took an institutional asset class retail could never touch and made it a ticker. AAA CLO tranches have never suffered a principal loss in the asset class's three-decade history — the structure absorbs enormous loan defaults before the top tier is touched — and because coupons float with short rates, duration risk is essentially nil. The result in a high-rate world: 5%+ yield with cash-like price stability, which explains the fund's explosive growth to $28 billion.

Who It's For

Income investors who want materially more than T-bill yield without taking duration risk, and who are comfortable that 'complex' and 'risky' are not synonyms at the AAA tranche level.
