MitÀ ovat CLO-ETFt?
CLO-ETF:t (vakuudelliset lainasalkut) sijoittavat yrityslainapooleihin. Eurooppalaiset CLO-ETF:t keskittyvÀt tyypillisesti korkeimman luottoluokituksen (AAA) eriin, tarjoten vaihtuvaa korkoa.
Miten CLO-ETFt toimivat?
CLO-ETF:illÀ kÀydÀÀn kauppaa suurimmissa pörsseissÀ. ETF-hoitajat kerÀÀvÀt varoja korkealuokitteisten velkapaperien ostamiseen. Vaihtuvakorkoisten lainojen ansiosta tuottosi mukautuu markkinatilanteeseen.
KeskeisiÀ huomioita sijoittajille maassa European
- CLO-ETF:t sijoittavat yrityslainojen eriin (tranche), eivĂ€t valtion takaamaan velkaan â luottoriski on suurempi kuin sÀÀstötileillĂ€ tai valtionlainoissa
- Eurooppalaiset CLO-ETF:t pitÀvÀt yleensÀ AAA-luokiteltuja eriÀ, joiden historialliset maksukyvyttömyysasteet ovat erittÀin matalat (alle 0,1%), mutta alemmat erÀt sisÀltÀvÀt huomattavasti suuremman riskin
- Vaihtuvakorkoinen rakenne tarkoittaa, ettÀ tuotot mukautuvat EURIBORin mukana, mikÀ tarjoaa luonnollisen suojan nousevia korkoja vastaan, toisin kuin kiinteÀkorkoiset joukkolainat
- Kokonaiskulut (0,20%â0,50%) ovat korkeammat kuin rahamarkkina- tai lyhyiden joukkolainojen ETF:issĂ€, mikĂ€ pienentÀÀ nettotuottoa
- Likviditeetti voi olla matalampi kuin valtavirran osake- tai valtionlaina-ETF:issĂ€ â tarkista pĂ€ivittĂ€iset kaupankĂ€yntimÀÀrĂ€t ja osto-myyntierot ennen sijoittamista

MikÀ on CLO ja miten CLO-ETF toimii?
CLO (Collateralized Loan Obligation) on arvopaperistettu yrityslainojen salkku, joka on jaettu eriin luottoriskin mukaan. CLO-ETF:t sijoittavat nĂ€ihin eriin â yleensĂ€ AAA-luokiteltuihin, turvallisimpiin â tarjoten hajautetun sijoituksen satoihin taustalla oleviin yrityslainoihin yhden pörssinoteeratun rahaston kautta. Lainat maksavat EURIBORiin sidottuja vaihtuvia korkoja, joten tuottosi mukautuu automaattisesti EKP:n korkopÀÀtöksiin.
Ovatko AAA-luokitellut CLO-ETF:t turvallisia?
AAA-CLO-erillĂ€ on erittĂ€in vahva historia â eurooppalaiset AAA-CLO-erĂ€t eivĂ€t ole kokeneet yhtÀÀn maksukyvyttömyyttĂ€ markkinan synnystĂ€ lĂ€htien. AAA-erĂ€ on pÀÀomarakenteen etuoikeutetuin, mikĂ€ tarkoittaa, ettĂ€ taustalla olevan lainasalkun tappioiden on ylitettĂ€vĂ€ kaikki etuoikeudeltaan huonommat erĂ€t (yleensĂ€ 30%â40% kokonaismÀÀrĂ€stĂ€) ennen kuin AAA-erĂ€ kĂ€rsii. Aiempi tuotto ei kuitenkaan takaa tulevaa, eikĂ€ CLO:ita kata talletussuoja.
Miten CLO-ETF:ien tuotot vertautuvat sÀÀstötileihin ja rahamarkkinarahastoihin?
CLO-ETF:t tarjoavat yleensĂ€ 0,50%â1,50% tuottolisĂ€n EKP:n talletuskoron tai âŹSTR:n pÀÀlle, mikĂ€ kompensoi lisÀÀntynyttĂ€ luotto- ja monimutkaisuusriskiĂ€. Vertailun vuoksi sÀÀstötilit ja rahamarkkinarahastot seuraavat EKP:n korkoa tarkemmin pienemmillĂ€ eroilla. CLO:iden korkeampaan tuottoon liittyy suurempi riski â ei talletussuojaa, mahdollinen nettoarvon volatiliteetti ja vĂ€hemmĂ€n sÀÀntelysuojaa kuin pankkitalletuksissa.
