Definition and Purpose
A Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) is a type of financial security that is backed by a pool of loans, typically corporate loans or commercial real estate loans. The purpose of a CLO is to securitize these loans, which means to bundle them together and sell them as securities to investors. The cash flow generated by the loans is used to pay interest and principal to the investors who hold the securities.
