Extensive Network

We have traded over $10bn in CLO investments – forging strong industry relationships and enabling access to deals

Sophisticated Analytics

Oxford maintains proprietary systems and technology which enable precise CLO tranche analysis

Opportunistic

Oxford seeks to add alpha by capturing opportunities in shorter-dated and post-reinvestment equity, stressed or low-priced equity, and junior debt tranches

Risk Management

We seek to adapt our portfolio management strategies, trading decisions, and valuations based on real-time market dynamics

Exclusively Third-Party Investors

We only invest in CLO tranches managed by others to eliminate conflicts of interest
