A collateralized loan obligation (CLO) is a financial instrument backed by a pool of corporate loans, typically to companies with lower credit ratings. CLOs are structured into different tranches, each with varying levels of risk and return, allowing investors to select investments based on their risk tolerance and return objectives.
The main types of collateralized loan obligations include investment grade, non-investment grade, and equity investment grade. Investment grade CLOs are securities deemed to have a lower risk of default by credit rating agencies. These CLOs are further segmented by investor base into categories such as banks, asset managers, insurance companies and pensions, hedge funds, and others. They serve various sectors including technology, healthcare, services, financials, industrials, housing, food and beverages, paper and packaging, transportation, and others.

The collateralized loan obligation market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1,241.63 billion in 2023 to $1,413.75 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to a rising interest in sustainable investments, an increase in potential trading partners, a growth in trace trading, and a higher demand for alternative investment products.
The collateralized loan obligation market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2,387.59 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for governance-compliant collateralized loan obligations, expanding leveraged loan markets, growing private debt, a rise in trace trading, and an increase in foreign exchange trading volumes. Key trends expected during this period include innovative technologies, advancements in CLO structures, developments in blockchain and machine learning, the introduction of technologically advanced products, and the evolution of regulatory compliance tools.
The growing interest in high-yield investments is anticipated to drive the expansion of the collateralized loan obligation (CLO) market. High-yield investments offer potentially higher returns compared to traditional investments, often accompanied by greater risk. This increased demand is driven by factors such as low interest rates on conventional savings, investors seeking higher returns, and economic conditions favoring riskier investments for potentially larger rewards. High-yield investments contribute to the appeal of collateralized loan obligations by enhancing returns, boosting cash flow, and providing diversification, which improves the overall performance and risk-return profile of CLOs. For example, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported in July 2023 that foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States grew by $216.8 billion, reaching $5.25 trillion by the end of 2022, up from $5.04 trillion in 2021. This rising demand for high-yield investments is fueling the growth of the CLO market.
Key players in the CLO market are focusing on creating innovative CLO structures, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), to better manage risk-return profiles and address evolving market demands and investment strategies. ETFs are investment funds that offer diversified exposure to portfolios of CLOs, which are structured credit products made up of pooled corporate loans. For example, in July 2023, Panagram Structured Asset Management, LLC, a US-based investment advisor, launched two actively managed CLO ETFs, the Panagram AAA CLO ETF (CLOX) and the Panagram BBB-B CLO ETF (CLOZ). CLOX focuses on AAA and AA-rated CLO bonds, aiming for capital preservation and consistent monthly income with a 0.20% expense ratio. In contrast, CLOZ targets BBB and BB-rated CLO bonds, seeking higher yields while also emphasizing capital preservation, and features a 0.50% expense ratio.
