Searching for returns – Liquidity outlook
Against a backdrop of volatile rates and evolving market dynamics, CLO managers and investors are continually adapting their strategies to optimise returns while maintaining appropriate liquidity profiles. This session brings together leading investors and CLO managers to examine how different approaches to portfolio construction, liability management and secondary market opportunities can enhance returns for limited partners. Panellists will discuss:
How are managers balancing return optimisation with liquidity management in the current environment? What strategies are proving most effective for maximising returns to investors while maintaining sufficient portfolio flexibility?
How are managers using features like refinancing options, reinvestment flexibility and call provisions to create additional value for investors? How do secondary market opportunities factor into these strategies?
How are managers approaching portfolio construction and which strategies are being employed to capture upside while maintaining defensive positioning?
How might changes in interest rates, credit conditions and market structure affect return potential?
