JBBB: Balanced Risk-Reward
My cautious stance on Janus Henderson B-BBB CLO ETF proved correct, as Trump's tariff escalation triggered sharp credit market declines, validating my preference for safer JAAA exposure. However, credit markets recovered following Trump's 90-day tariff pause, with JBBB's total returns now surpassing JAAA since March. With investors looking past Trump's escalations due to a perceived 'TACO trade' and resilient economic data, the risk of a recession is receding.

JBBB: CLO Market Failing To Recover As Economic Breadth Declines
JBBB offers an 8% yield but is exposed to high credit risk in underperforming economic segments, which are showing signs of strain. The ETF's floating-rate structure protects against rate hikes, but increases the vulnerability of high-risk borrowers to defaults if economic conditions worsen. Thin credit spreads suggest that JBBB's yield may not fully compensate for rising risks, especially given the rising rates of commercial and industrial delinquencies.

JBBB: Economic Headwinds Mounting, Continue To Avoid
Credit markets will likely deteriorate in the coming months as tariffs and DOGE cuts flow through the economy. Despite mounting headwinds, economists and credit markets remain too complacent. With credit spreads still near multi-year lows, credit markets are unattractive and investors should stick with quality.

Realty Rate Rollercoaster - Pair With CLOs To Smooth The Ride
Realty Income is a top pick for conservative dividend investors, offering a 5.8% monthly dividend and a solid balance sheet with A-grade credit ratings. The stock is sensitive to interest rate changes, prompting a strategy to hedge this risk by balancing Realty with CLO funds yielding 5.6-7.6%. CLOs, often misunderstood as risky, are explained as diversified, structured investments with strong risk management, suitable even for conservative portfolios.
