Reckoner BBB-B CLO Annual ETF

RCLY

Market cap $17.9M

The once obscure CLO ETF market has officially broken out of its niche shell and entered a new phase of growth. Heading into 2026, total global assets quickly topped $35 billion and have now surged past the $50 billion mark in early July.

Before the advent of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), investing in collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) was limited to insurance companies, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and other institutional investors. In recent years, however, ETFs have significantly expanded access to CLOs.

Not long ago, CLO ETFs were niche vehicles only talked about at credit conferences and in sophisticated bond manager circles. But fast forward to 2026, and they've entered the mainstream – drawing meaningful interest from both institutions and retail investors.
