Description: ECC Eagle Point Credit

Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. (NYSE: ECC) is a closed-end fund externally managed by Eagle Point Credit Management LLC. The fund invests primarily in the equity and junior debt tranches of U.S. collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), which are structured credit vehicles backed by pools of below investment grade senior secured loans.

Because it focuses on the lower-rated portions of the CLO capital structure, ECC occupies a higher-risk, higher-yield segment of the U.S. fixed income market. Its shares trade on the NYSE like a stock, which means its market price can move independently of the funds underlying net asset value (NAV) - a common feature of closed-end fund structures.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • CLO equity spreads tighten compressing forward return outlook
  • Rising loan defaults pressure equity tranche cash flow distributions
  • Discount to NAV widens as credit cycle concerns grow
