Fair Oaks Capital brings Europe's first AAA CLO ETF to Italy
Fair Oaks Capital has listed a EUR Acc. share class of its European AAA CLO ETF, on Borsa Italiana. Trading began today under the ticker EAAA, with a denomination size of 10 EUR. The Fair Oaks AAA CLO ETF originally launched in September 2024 as Europe’s first CLO ETF, pioneering access to AAA-rated, floating-rate CLO notes in an ETF wrapper to European investors.
The portfolio management team, led by Miguel Ramos Fuentenebro and Roger Coyle has been managing the fund, exclusively investing in European senior CLOs, since 2019. The team’s experience managing CLO portfolios has allowed Fair Oaks to open access to this asset class to a wider range of investors in an actively-managed fund.
“We are excited to expand our CLO ETF offering to Italy, where we have historically seen significant interest in our CLO products from a wide range of investors”, Miguel Ramos Fuentenebro commented. “We believe AAA-rated CLOs are an attractive alternative product for any fixed income investor, given their floating-rate nature, attractive all-in yield and limited volatility over the last 5 years, all while demonstrating a flawless history of zero defaults since records began.”
The Fair Oaks CLO ETF was launched on the Alpha UCITS fund platform as an additional listed share class of an existing UCITS fund, the Fair Oaks AAA CLO Fund, initially launched in 2019. The Fund invests exclusively in AAA-rated CLOs, based on Fair Oaks' established investment processes. It is a long-only portfolio with no leverage and is classified as Article 8 under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
The total expense ratio for the EUR Acc. share class of Fair Oaks AAA CLO ETF is 0.35 percent.
