Competent level

Most people who have heard of CLOs, or collateralised loan obligations, will have heard of them in the context of the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008. However, whilst collateralised debt obligations, of subprime mortgages have vanished entirely following the crisis, CLOs have strengthened. In this pathway, you will learn the basics of a CLO: why CLOs exist, how CLOs are managed, and what protections are in place to protect the investment.
