What makes Barrow Hanley's approach to CLO investing different from competitors?

Barrow Hanley examines more than 100 distinct factors when evaluating CLO investments, a level of granularity that helps surface hidden risks other managers routinely miss. This specialized, multi-factor framework is intended to provide a more complete picture of credit quality and structural risk within CLO portfolios.

What types of risks does the 100-factor CLO analysis help identify?

The framework is designed to uncover risks that are not readily apparent through conventional credit analysis, including structural, collateral, and manager-level risks embedded within CLO tranches. By systematically evaluating a broad set of variables, the process aims to avoid adverse credit selections that simpler models might overlook.

Who is the intended audience for Barrow Hanley's CLO investment strategy?

The strategy is primarily aimed at institutional investors seeking specialized fixed income exposure within the CLO asset class. Investors looking for disciplined, research-driven credit management with a focus on downside risk mitigation would be the primary target audience.
