Investing in CLO Equity can be risky, but offers high returns. Oxford Lane Capital's balance sheet shows reasonable leverage and strong coverage ratios for debt and preferred equity securities. The 7.125% 2029 term preferred stock from Oxford Lane Capital offers an 8.1% yield to maturity, including the potential capital gains.

We take a look at the action in preferreds and baby bonds through the first week of July and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. Preferreds market saw a solid week with a drop in Treasury yields and stable median yield-to-worst below 7%. Corporate bond yields stand at lowest levels in 2 years, prompting new issuance from across the space.

June was another month where we saw broader equities hitting new all-time highs. However, that participation was rather narrow as the mega-cap tech names led the way higher. This last month, I added to or initiated positions in five different closed-end fund names; I sold out of two positions this month.

What is your dream retirement? Make goals to achieve it. Don't make monetary number goals that can't answer the "what then?" question. I meet expenses head-on with highly valuable income.

Oxford Lane Capital operates in the underserved segment of credit known as collateralized loan obligations or CLOs. OXLC competes with Eagle Point Credit Company to originate collateralized loan obligations and invests in the equity tranche. Recent growth comes with risks related to the rapid expansion of private credit over the past decade.

Oxford Lane Capital Corporation offers a 20% dividend yield, but investors should not buy solely due to a high yield. The fund invests in CLOs, which have historically performed well, but Oxford Lane Capital's heavy allocation to equity tranches increases risk. Despite the high dividend yield, Oxford Lane Capital has experienced significant net asset value declines and sub-par total returns over the past decade.

Collateralized loan obligation closed-end fund preferreds and baby bonds can offer relatively secure sources of income generation for investors. These offerings are subject to stricter regulations under the 1940 Act, limiting leverage and that can provide more security to these instruments. New offerings since our last update include EICC and CCIA, which naturally came with higher issued yields thanks to the higher rate environment.
