April's market volatility, driven by tariffs and led by tech sector declines, created opportunities to deploy cash. However, it was an opportunity to reposition my portfolio as well, with 2 swap trades to de-risk my portfolio. There were 2 corporate actions in the last month that also saw two more positions removed from my CEF portfolio, but overall, I was a net buyer for the month.

The CLO Equity CEF sector has doubled in size over the past two years, driven by new entrants and favorable market conditions. Key catalysts include a benign default environment, tightening credit spreads, and the attractiveness of floating-rate assets amid a flat/inverted yield curve. CLO Equity funds benefit from embedded options like reinvestment and call options, which enhance returns during periods of market volatility.

We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the last week of March and highlight recent market action. Oxford Lane Capital Corp. authorized a $150m share repurchase program to potentially support its price. Nuveen proposed merging preferreds CEFs JPC and JPI, continuing its trend of consolidating term funds into perpetual CEFs.

We tracked six new preferred stock and exchange traded debt offerings with yields from 6.15% to 10%, highlighting their CDx3 Compliance Scores. Oxford Lane Capital Corp.'s new exchange notes (OXLCG) achieved a perfect CDx3 Compliance Score, offering a 7.95% fixed coupon and a BBB+ rating. Preferred stock IPOs often trade temporarily on the OTC, allowing investors to buy shares at wholesale prices before they move to retail exchanges.

Collateralized loan obligation CEFs offer high yields but come with significant leverage, volatility and higher risk, making them less appropriate for all income investors. Baby bonds and preferred offerings from CLO CEFs provide safer, more stable income, balancing risk-reward when it comes to seeking income. We have new offerings in the space since our last update, leading to greater diversification potential and increasing the viability of setting up a ladder of maturities.

We take a look at the action in preferreds and baby bonds through the third week of February and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. Preferred stocks underperformed despite a Treasury rally, with credit spreads widening but yields remaining range-bound. CLO Equity CEF issued a new bond, OXLCG, impacting risk dynamics for the bond suite.

Going into OXLC's Q3 FY25 results, my analysis had suggested growth shoots in the overall deal environment. I am glad to see that yesterday's results release is confirming my thesis as net investments activity reached record highs and warehouse investments too saw a growth revival. I expect these portfolio growth drivers to translate into upticks in net investment income (NII) and NAV. But I do not like how frequent dilution is depressing NII per share.

2025 faces 2 key macro scenarios. Real-time inflation data and industry forecasts suggest that the contained inflation, growth-constructive one is more likely. In such an environment, OXLC is poised to benefit from higher deal activity in the US CLO market, which would be accretive to subsequent net investment income growth. OXLC's valuations are at a lower than usual premium to NAV, making buys more acceptable for CLO investors.
