CLOs delivered positive performance in April, supported by tighter spreads, recovering secondary prices, and continued carry. While issuance softened amid macro uncertainty, stable Fed policy, elevated yields, low defaults, and resilient loan performance helped support returns and income. Constructive technicals and higher-quality collateral continue to reinforce the relative attractiveness of CLOs for institutional investors.
