Portfolio Overlap In European CLO 2.0
Transactions Reflects Collateral Scarcity
European collateralized loan obligation (CLO) issuance has gradually picked up over the last 18 months. Last year, it
equaled 7.7 billion and, while issuance has gained further momentum in the first half of the year to add another 4.8
billion of new supply, CLO managers continue to face a shortage of assets. In Standard & Poor's Ratings Services'
opinion, the lack of new supply and attractive secondary loans in the market may make it increasingly difficult for
managers to build more diversified portfolios.
Vivarte's recent default and the credit deterioration of other widely-held names such as PHS Group Holdings Ltd. and
Van Gansewinkel GROEP B.V. (AVR) has also raised concerns from investors on the extent of portfolio overlap and
concentration in individual transactions. This is particularly true for transactions issued before 2013 ("CLO 1.0") which
are past their reinvestment period with limited trading activity in their portfolios, but where a large number still hold
the same obligors.
Overview
The extent to which underlying collateral performance affects CLO ratings will, in our view, be colored by their
portfolio characteristics, notably the "overlap" of issuers/borrowers between different portfolios and
concentration risk within them.
To consider the extent of portfolio overlap between European CLO 1.0 and 2.0 transactions and the possible
effects of corporate defaults or credit deterioration on the European CLO sector, we reviewed the portfolio
composition of a sample of 195 outstanding transactions that we rate for a total amount of 52 billion.
The top 10 obligors in CLO 2.0 portfolios are in more than 70% of CLO 2.0 transactions, but they only
represent, on average, 1.7% of a given portfolio.
CLO 2.0 portfolios have more portfolio overlap, with CLOs managed by the same manager having a higher
average portfolio overlap than those managed by different managers.
Obligor concentration for CLO 1.0 transactions is higher than for CLO 2.0 transactions.
CLO 2.0 portfolios have higher industry and ratings concentration.
Portfolio overlap is the extent that an obligor can be found in several CLO transactions while the degree of
concentration measures the percentage an obligor accounts for in a given portfolio. A high level of portfolio overlap
could mean that the effects of corporate defaults and/or credit deterioration are more widespread across the European
CLO sector, whereas the concentration affects the severity of changes in obligor credit quality on individual
transactions. For example, the default of the most widely-held obligor in CLO 1.0 transactions could have a negative
effect on 88% of these transactions. While the default of the most widely-held obligor in post-credit crisis "CLO 2.0"
transactions would affect slightly more of these transactions in percentage terms (93%), the impact would be more
pronounced in the CLO 1.0 universe, where the average exposure to the highest ranking obligor is higher at 3.8%
(compared with 2.1% for CLO 2.0 transactions). Hence, the combination of both characteristics contributes to a
greater systemic risk, in our view.

To consider the extent of portfolio overlap and concentration of exposures to individual obligors, industries, and
countries, we have reviewed the portfolio composition of a sample of 195 outstanding transactions that we rate.
Forty-two managers oversee these transactions and between them, invest in primarily speculative-grade loans to about
1,274 corporate borrowers, with an aggregate notional exposure of 52 billion (compared with 85 billion in 2011).
Where applicable, this report updates some of our analysis in our October 2011 report "Portfolio Overlap In European
CLOs Means Changes In Corporate Creditworthiness Can Have A Widespread Effect," published on Oct. 10, 2011.
Appendix 1 details the sample and breakdown between CLO 1.0 versus CLO 2.0 transactions.
Pairs Of CLO 2.0 Transactions Have Higher Portfolio Overlap
One way to consider the degree of overlap between different CLO portfolios is to look at pairs of transactions and the
proportion of their portfolios that they have in common (for more details of the calculation, see Appendix 2).
Our analysis shows that the degree of overlap between any two European CLO 1.0 transactions ranges between 0% to
83% and the average overlap is 22% (slightly lower than the 27% in our 2011 review). Reflecting the scarcity of assets
available to managers of CLO 2.0 transactions, the average portfolio overlap for them is higher than for CLO 1.0
transactions at 30%, although with a narrower range of overlap from 3% to 61%.
Nevertheless, we note two CLO 2.0 transactions, which show a significantly lower average portfolio overlap compared
with other CLO 2.0 transactions. One of these is a multicurrency transaction invested in British pound
sterling-denominated assets (average portfolio overlap of 12%) and the other is invested in loans to mid-cap borrowers
that are less widely syndicated (average portfolio overlap of 19%).
The average portfolio overlap between European CLO 1.0 and CLO 2.0 transactions is 19%. CLO 2.0 transactions have
the highest average portfolio overlap with the 2006 and 2007 vintages (24%). This is perhaps not surprising since a
significant asset source in CLO 2.0 transactions arose from the redemption of pre-crisis CLOs.
CLOs managed by the same manager have a higher average portfolio overlap than those managed by different
managers. The average portfolio overlap between CLO 1.0 transactions managed by the same manager is about 41%
with a range of 32% to 62%, compared with 21% with a range of 7% to 28% for CLOs managed by different managers
(see table 1). We observe the same trend for CLO 2.0 transactions. Table 2 shows a higher average portfolio overlap
for 2.0 transactions managed by the same manager versus those by different managers (51% versus 29%). However,
the CLO 2.0 sample size is small, with only three managers managing more than one transaction. One major
consideration for many investors of CLO paper investments is their preference for certain managers, depending on the
management type, style and past performance. For investors seeking diversification, owning CLOs managed by the
same manager versus those by different managers could lead to lower diversification than they desire. This is because
managers of multiple CLO transactions may reflect their credit views in similar ways across their transactions.
Nevertheless, we expect there will be differences between portfolios depending on the transaction's vintages, the
manager's access to collateral, source of collateral (e.g., primary market or refinancing), allocation policies, and any
transaction-specific constraints.

CLO 2.0 Portfolios Hold More Of The Same Names
Another way to look at the portfolio overlap between CLOs is to also consider the number of transactions in which
each obligor's debt is held. Overall, European collateral managers invested in 1,240 names across 181 CLO 1.0
transactions. Table 3 shows the top 20 most widely-held names across CLO 1.0 transactions. Although we have made
some changes to the list and ranking of the top obligors since our 2011 report, the most referenced name remains

Tyrol Acquisition 1 SAS (previously known as Tldiffusion de France), which we see in 160 or 88% of CLO 1.0
portfolios.
In addition, the overlap of names has reduced since 2011, with only 11 names now held in more than 60% of the
portfolios, compared with 20 names in 2011 (see table 3). Appendix 3 lists the top 100 obligors in European CLO 1.0

Compared with CLO 1.0 transactions, we make two observations:
The first is that while CLO 2.0 managers are investing in the same names (263 of the 297 obligors, which make up 97%
of the total CLO 2.0 exposures), the allocations have changed. Underlining some degree of overlap between CLO 1.0
and 2.0 transactions, table 4 shows that 13 of the top 20 most widely held obligors in CLO 2.0 transactions are
amongst the 20 most popular names in CLO 1.0 transactions.

1330768 | 302218800
Portfolio Overlap In European CLO 2.0 Transactions Reflects Collateral Scarcity
The second is that there is a higher extent of portfolio overlap for CLO 2.0 than for CLO 1.0 transactions. In chart 1,
the x-axis represents the obligor's rank by number of references in CLO portfolios in ascending order, with the most
widely-held obligor on the left-hand side. The y-axis represents the percentage of CLOs holding the obligor. Chart 1
shows that the obligor ranked in the top decile of the CLO 1.0 asset universe is in 15% of CLO 1.0 portfolios, whereas
an obligor with the same ranking in the CLO 2.0 asset universe is in 57% of CLO 2.0 portfolios. The difference is more
pronounced for an obligor that is ranked in the top two deciles, with these obligors featuring in 5% of CLO 1.0 and 39%
of CLO 2.0 transactions. This reflects that CLO 2.0 managers could be facing a limited choice of suitable assets in the
primary and secondary markets.
Chart 1
CLO 1.0 Transactions Have Higher Obligor Concentration
Whereas the degree of portfolio overlap provides some insight into the impact of an obligor's changing credit quality
on the CLO sector as a whole, the obligor concentration within each CLO's portfolio adds additional insight on the
extent of the impact.
Table 5 shows that overall, obligor concentration has been increasing amongst the most widely-held names within
WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT JUNE 10, 2014 7
1330768 | 302218800
Portfolio Overlap In European CLO 2.0 Transactions Reflects Collateral Scarcity
CLO 1.0 transactions since 2011. Whereas the top five names made up 8% of the overall CLO 1.0 portfolio in 2011,
they now make up 10%.
Obligor concentration for CLO 1.0 transactions is higher than for CLO 2.0 transactions. However, we note the similar
obligor concentrations between CLO 1.0 transactions observed in 2011 and CLO 2.0 transactions today, both which
were/are in their reinvestment period. Most of today's CLO 1.0 transactions are past their reinvestment period, hence
the high obligor concentration reflects both the impact of deleveraging and the managers' limited ability to manage
their portfolios. This is also consistent with the rating actions that we have taken over the past year, which include
upgrades of the senior notes and downgrades of the junior notes (see "European CLO Performance Index Report Q1
2014: Collateral Credit Quality Remains Stable With Upgrades Outnumbering Downgrades By Three-To-One,"
published on April 24, 2014").

Table 6 shows the concentration of the top 20 most widely-held obligors in CLO 1.0 portfolios within individual
transactions. Fifteen of the most widely-held names have an average exposure of 2.0% or more across transactions
(compared with five of the top names in 2011). For 12 of the names, there are some transactions holding an exposure
of 10% or more, whereas there were only two such names in 2011. This is consistent with the increasing concentration
that we see in table 5.

On the other hand, corporate obligors widely found in CLO 2.0 portfolios typically constitute less than 2% of the
portfolio (see table 7). The largest obligor concentration for the top 20 names ranges between 1.8%-4.5%, which
reflects the transaction documents' obligor concentration limitations and also that the transactions are still within their
reinvestment period, which enables managers to trade in and out names.

Portfolio Overlap In European CLO 2.0 Transactions Reflects Collateral Scarcity
CLO 2.0 Portfolios Have Greater Industry Concentration
European CLO 2.0 portfolios are concentrated in fewer industries than those in CLO 1.0 portfolios (45 versus 34). This
reflects greater restrictions on the types of assets that collateral managers can purchase in the later generation of
CLOs. As chart 2 shows, business equipment and services remains the leading sector with the highest exposure (13.5%
of CLO 2.0 exposure and 10.4% of CLO 1.0 exposure).
Chart 2
CLO 2.0 Portfolios Are Less Exposed To Assets In Lower Rated Sovereigns
CLO managers of European CLO 1.0 and 2.0 transactions mostly invest in assets located in the U.K., Germany, and
France, but with some differences, such as CLO 2.0 portfolios being less exposed to assets in the U.K. and more
exposed to assets in Germany, the U.S. and The Netherlands. European CLO 2.0 transactions also have less exposure
to peripheral countries, compared with CLO 1.0 transactions. As CLO 2.0 transactions are still within their
reinvestment periods, managers can continue to manage the CLO within the geographical concentration limitations
stated in the transaction documents (typically a maximum 10% exposure to countries rated below 'A-'). By contrast,

CLO 1.0 transactions do not have these concentration limitations. Although managers haven't necessarily increased
their exposure to assets in peripheral countries, we've typically observed that CLO 1.0 transactions are more exposed
to these countries due to the transactions' deleveraging post their reinvestment period.

At 81.5%, the assets in CLO 2.0 portfolios are concentrated in the 'B' rating category, whereas CLO 1.0 portfolios are
more widely spread across the rating spectrum, with some assets rated as high as 'AAA'. Assets that are rated
investment grade make up 5.0% in CLO 1.0 portfolios compared with 0.9% in CLO 2.0 portfolios. The higher ratings
are typically for collateralized debt obligations of corporates, which the transaction documents for CLO 2.0
transactions restrict managers from purchasing.

Portfolio Overlap In European CLO 2.0 Transactions Reflects Collateral Scarcity
Chart 4
Portfolio Overlap Will Remain High For CLO 2.0 Transactions
The portfolio overlap between transactions seems to have reduced for CLO 1.0 transactions since 2011, indicating that
the impact of a credit deterioration or default of an issuer could be less widespread across transactions. However,
increasing concentration caused by transaction deleveraging and managers' inability to trade in and out of credits
indicates tail-end riskwhere relatively few loans remain in the collateral pool, making the magnitude of credit
deterioration or default much more pronounced on the more junior notesfor some transactions.
Unsurprisingly, the scarcity of assets available to managers means that we're seeing a significant portfolio overlap
between European CLO 2.0 transactions. Despite the pick-up in institutional leveraged loan issuance (21.6 billion in
the first five months of 2014 according to S&P LCD), we don't expect to see the level of portfolio overlap between CLO
2.0 transactions reduce. The increased issuance volume is typically either from refinancing or recapitalizations and
comes from fewer issuers compared with pre-crisis numbers. Nevertheless, we would expect any changes in the credit
quality of obligors to have a limited impact on transactions considering the low concentration of obligors in individual
transactions.

Portfolio Overlap In European CLO 2.0 Transactions Reflects Collateral Scarcity
Furthermore, improving macroeconomic conditions in Europe and the continuation of supportive monetary policy
from central banks also mean that we expect to see improving non-financial corporate credit quality and lower default
rates (see "Credit Quality Among Europe's Nonfinancial Corporates Is Set To Rise In 2014-2015, With Fewer Defaults,"
published on May 1, 2014).

Appendix 2: Calculation Of Overlap Between Two CLO Portfolios
We calculate the degree of overlap between two CLO portfolios by first establishing the concentration of each obligor
in each portfolio. For example, consider two portfolios:
Portfolio A contains obligors X and Y, which constitute 1.0% and 2.0% of the portfolio, respectively, and
Portfolio B also contains obligors X and Y, which constitute 3.0% and 1.5% of the portfolio, respectively.
For each obligor, the contribution to the overall overlap is the lower of the concentration in the first portfolio and that
in the second portfolio.

Portfolio Overlap In European CLO 2.0 Transactions Reflects Collateral Scarcity
In our example:
Contribution of obligor X to overall overlap = minimum of 1.0% and 3.0% = 1.0%, and,
Contribution of obligor Y to overall overlap = minimum of 2.0% and 1.5% = 1.5%.
Assuming all other obligors only appear in one portfolio, but not the other, then the total overlap will be the sum of the
contributions from obligors X and Y, i.e., 1.0% + 1.5% = 2.5%.
