Company Description
Oxford Lane Capital Corp. (OXLC) is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company that focuses on investments tied to collateralized loan obligation vehicles. The company’s stated investment objective is to maximize its portfolio’s risk-adjusted total return over its investment horizon. Its current strategy centers on equity and junior tranches of CLO vehicles, which are structured finance vehicles collateralized by diversified portfolios of senior loans.
The company’s portfolio focus distinguishes it from operating businesses that sell products or services. Oxford Lane allocates capital to CLO-related investments, including positions in CLO equity and junior tranches. The CLO vehicles referenced in the company’s investment focus generally are backed by senior loans and generally have little to no exposure to real estate loans, mortgage loans or pools of consumer-based debt such as credit card receivables or auto loans.
Oxford Lane’s investment plan also includes warehouse facilities. These financing structures are intended to aggregate senior loans that may later form the basis of a CLO vehicle. This gives the company exposure to CLO formation and CLO-related credit structures in addition to existing CLO securities.
Oxford Lane Capital Corp. is based in Greenwich, Connecticut, and its securities are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under OXLC and related tickers. Recent company disclosures have also referenced term preferred stock, including the 6.25% Series 2027 Term Preferred Stock under ticker OXLCP, as part of the company’s exchange-listed capital structure.
