The CLO Equity CEF sector has doubled in size over the past two years, driven by new entrants and favorable market conditions.

CLO Equity funds benefit from embedded options like reinvestment and call options, which enhance returns during periods of market volatility.

Yield Hunting (Part 3): 8.5% In 2 Years From OCCI Preferred Stock OCCIN
The yield curve is normalizing, and we aim for 8%+ yields with low downside deviation in our low-duration portfolio. OCCI has higher leverage and worse credit metrics compared to ECC and OXLC, but its preferred stock, OCCIN, offers an 8.5% YTM. Despite OCCI's lower credibility, OCCIN's low duration and yield make it a viable addition for diversification in our low-duration portfolio.
