VanEck CLO ETF Price & Performance (CLOI)

Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) are increasingly viewed as essential for core bond portfolios. Traditionally overlooked in broader indices, CLOs now offer a compelling case for inclusion due to their ability to stabilize portfolios during volatile markets. Their rising prominence reflects a shift in fixed-income investment strategies.12

A rare market signal emerged as the S&P 500 hit a 6-month low but rebounded with consecutive days of 90% index positivity. Historically, such patterns led to gains within two months. While past results are no guarantee, this behavior reflects consistent investor sentiment shifts during market recoveries.3

Small-cap stocks are gaining traction amid discussions on equity valuations and market performance. Analysts highlight their potential for growth, especially as broader markets experience mixed results. This renewed interest in small caps underscores their role in diversifying portfolios and capturing upside opportunities.4
