OXLC's operating cash flow profile has worsened and equity raises continue. I am skeptical about the above-NAV raise, below-par CLO investment strategy as investment fair values are still below cost. Long term, OXLC returns have been poor; eroding 11% of NAV value and 4% of dividends value every year from 2011 - 2024. OXLC's NAV is steady over the past few quarters but OXLC is trading at a prem...
Collecting 21% is risky, right? Not if you understand what you're buying and how it works. Take time to learn. Time is the only commodity that you can never buy more of – use it wisely. I make my portfolio work hard, so I can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle.
The Fed's revised guidance for only two rate cuts in 2025 caused market panic, despite a current rate cut to 4.25-4.5%. Floating rate instruments like CLOs remain attractive due to their high-yield and low volatility, especially with rates staying above 4%. I identify one ETF and two CEFs for investors looking to take advantage of this panic and new course for the Fed.
Oxford Lane Capital Corporation focuses on CLOs, offering high yields but with significant risks. OXLC's 20% yield is a major selling point, supported by strong cash flow and a sustainable leverage ratio around 24%. The fund's premium has recently decreased, presenting a potential entry point, though it remains volatile and sensitive to market corrections.
I prefer investments higher up in the capital stack of CLOs, favoring Oxford Lane Capital's term preferred shares over common units. OXLC's net investment income of $123.1M in the first half of the year demonstrates robust cash flow, supporting its financial stability. The strategy of issuing new common shares enhances the asset coverage ratio, making the balance sheet safer and fixed income se...
Oxford Lane Capital Corporation offers a high dividend yield of 21%, but trades above net asset value and has an unconvincing total return track record. Previous analysis rated Oxford Lane Capital Corporation as neutral due to weak price appreciation potential, which has been validated by its underperformance compared to the broader market. The fund is not well-positioned for a potential recess...
Every month, I put cash to work in my closed-end fund portfolio to help build up cash flow over time. Broader equity markets have continued to perform well for the most part, and discounts narrowing on average for CEFs this year has kept me from wanting to get too aggressive. That said, I think there are still some opportunities for adding and worth putting capital to work more cautiously.
Investors make frequent mistakes, especially when it comes to buying income for retirement. Selling shares for "income" is not the same as getting paid monthly. I use funds to provide added income to my portfolio through the diligent application of managerial skills and knowledge.
