Insights

AAM launched the AAM Crescent CLO ETF (CLOC) on
The primary dependency is the subadvisor’s execution: Crescent’s stated three decades of CLO experience underpins the strategy’s ability to select tranches and manage structural risk. Key risks noted are exposure to the CLO market structure and credit performance; the release explicitly ties the fund’s potential to Crescent’s experience rather than to any guaranteed outcome.
Concrete items to watch include initial portfolio composition, realized yield and credit quality of held tranches, and early liquidity behaviour over the first quarter after launch; these milestones should be observable by

Investing involves risk; Principal loss is possible.
Principal Risks: Fixed-income securities are subject to the ability of an issuer to make timely principal and interest payments (credit risk), changes in interest rates (interest-rate risk), the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (market risk). In a rising interest-rate environment, bond prices may fall and may result in periods of volatility and increased portfolio redemptions. In a declining interest-rate environment, the portfolio may generate less income. CLO Risk. CLOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of loan obligations. CLOs issue classes or "tranches" that vary in risk and yield and may experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease of market value due to collateral defaults and removal of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class. The risks of investing in CLO securities include both the credit risk associated with the underlying loans combined with the risks associated with the CLO structure governing the priority of payments (and any legal and counterparty risk associated with carrying out the priority of payments). At certain times, this Fund may increase its exposure to and invest primarily in BBB+, BBB, and BBB- rated tranches (or equivalent ratings by a NRSRO); however, these ratings do not constitute a guarantee of credit quality and it's possible that under stressed market environments these tranches could experience substantial losses due to defaults, write-downs of the equity or other subordinated tranches, increased sensitivity to defaults due to underlying collateral default and impairment of subordinated tranches, market anticipation of defaults, and general market aversion to CLO securities as an asset class. The most common risks associated with investing in CLOs are interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, prepayment risk (i.e., the risk that in a declining interest rate period CLO tranches could be refinanced or paid off prior to their maturities and the Fund would then have to reinvest the proceeds at a lower rate), and the risk of defaults of the underlying assets. New Fund Risk: The Fund is a recently organized investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decision. Management Risk: The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Adviser's success or failure in implementing investment strategies for the Fund. Bank Loans Risk: The CLOs in which the Fund invests are typically collateralized by bank loans. Bank loans are typically originated and structured by banks and institutions on behalf of corporate borrowers. Bank loans are typically distributed by the arranging banks and private client lenders to investors primarily consisting of: CLOs; senior secured loan and high yield bond mutual funds; closed-end funds, hedge funds, banks, insurance companies and finance companies. Investments in bank loans may expose the Fund to different risks, including liquidity risk, price volatility, ability to restructure loans, credit risks and less protective loan documentation.
