Description: ECC Eagle Point Credit November 18, 2025

Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. (NYSE: ECC) is a closed-ended investment vehicle launched on March 24 2014 and managed by Eagle Point Credit Management LLC. The fund’s mandate is to purchase equity and junior debt tranches of U.S. collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), which are primarily backed by below-investment-grade senior secured loans.

Key metrics that often drive ECC’s performance include its net asset value (NAV) per share-approximately $10.5 as of the most recent filing-and its distribution yield, which has hovered around 7-8% annually, reflecting the high-yield nature of the underlying CLO assets. The fund’s expense ratio is roughly 1.2%, and its leverage ratio (assets-to-equity) is typically maintained near 1.5×, influencing sensitivity to interest-rate movements. Macro-economic drivers such as the Federal Reserve’s policy stance, corporate credit spreads, and the health of the U.S. leveraged loan market are material to ECC’s risk-return profile.
