Lupus alpha CLO High Quality Invest offers investors access to a diversified portfolio of secured corporate loans based on collateralised loan obligations (CLOs). CLOs are securitised investments in corporate loans issued by a securitisation vehicle that are assembled by asset managers and divided into tranches according to the level of credit risk of the investments in question. Although this mutual fund is tailored specifically to the needs of regulated institutional investors such as insurance companies, pension funds and pension schemes, it is also an attractive investment for non-regulated investors.
Each individual CLO is managed by a CLO manager. Lupus alpha CLO High Quality Invest selects the best CLOs from those available on the market according to specific criteria (e.g. cash flow stability or historic default rates).
The selection process for individual CLOs is divided into a number of stages:
In the first stage, managers assess the relative attractiveness of the CLOs available on the market based on comprehensive market research. Managers then assess the capital structure of each individual CLO using risk and return criteria while taking existing investment guidelines into account.
Active management of the loan pool (by the CLO manager) and the active selection of CLO tranches by Lupus alpha doubles the alpha potential.
The fund pursues a return target of money market + 3.0% p.a. that should be generated in the event of low single-digit volatility. Interest income is distributed regularly, providing investors with stable cash flows.

Maturity of CLO´s as of 29/11/2024
Ratingstructure as of 29/11/2024
Chances
- Provides access to the European corporate loan market.
- Combines the performance potential of corporate loans with high default protections ( investment grade segment).
- By buying loans indirectly via CLOs, one can create a liquid portfolio that meets the requirements set out by UCITS and VAG.
- Low dependency to general interest rate trends.
- Decent yield through ongoing coupon payment in the portfolio
Risks
- Counterparty default risk: If counterparties and issuers do not fulfill or only partially fulfill their contractual payment obligations, this can result in losses for the fund. Even when securities are carefully selected, losses caused by the financial collapse of issuers cannot be ruled out.
- Concentration risk: If investment is concentrated on particular assets or markets, the fund becomes particularly heavily dependent on the performance of these assets or markets.
- Operational risk: The fund can become the victim of fraud, criminal acts or errors by company employees or external third parties. Finally, management of the fund can be negatively impacted by external events such as fires, natural disasters or similar.
- Liquidity risk: If securities are traded in a relatively narrow market segment, it can be difficult to resell them in situations where there is insufficient liquidity.
- Interest-rate risk: Changes in market interest rates can affect the prices of fixed-income securities. These fluctuations vary, however, depending on the term of the fixed-income securities.
- Market Risk: The performance of financial products depends on the development of the capital markets.

- Source: Lupus alpha; gross performance (BVI method): The gross performance considers all costs incurred at Fund level (e. g. management fee) and assumes reinvestment of any distributions. Costs incurred at customer level such as sales charge and securities account costs are not included. Unless otherwise specified, all indicated performance data show the gross performance. Please note: Past per-formance is not a reliable indicator for future performance.
- Source: Lupus alpha; the net performance assumes a model calculation based on an invested amount of EUR 1,000, the maximum sales charge and a redemption charge (see master data). It does not include individual costs of the investor, such as a securities account fee. (To this effect, please refer to the price list of your securities account provider.) Please note: Past performance is not a reliable indicator for future performance.
- Volatility: Volatility is the range of variation of a security price or index around its mean value over a fixed period of time. A security is regarded as volatile if its price fluctuates heavily. Maximum loss 90 days: The maximum loss specifies an investor's potential loss if he had bought during the past 90 days at the highest price and sold at the lowest price. VaR 95 – 10: Value at Risk defines the level of loss which will not be exceeded within 10 days with a probability of 95%. VaR 99 – 10: Value at Risk defines the level of loss which will not be exceeded within 10 days with a probability of 99%. Sharpe Ratio: Sharpe Ratio is the excess return (Fund performance less money market rate) in relation to the range of variation (volatility) and shows the yield of the Fund per risk unit. The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the more yield has been generated in relation to the risk incurred.
- The management fee is the fee for managing the Fund and taken from the Fund's assets; it is paid to Lupus alpha for the management and administration of the Fund
- The sales charge is the difference between the sales price and the unit value. The sales charge varies depending on the type of the Fund and the distribution channel and usually covers the advisory and distribution costs. The Distributor will demand the sales charge at its own discretion.
- Distributing Funds do not reinvest the generated income, they pay out the income to the investor.
- (**) swing pricing is a method of calculating share prices that attribute transaction costs from issues or redemptions directly to whom initiated those transa ctions. For partial swing pricing, this method is only used if issues and redemptions cause a specific amount of surpluses that exceed a pre-determined threshold on a given valuation day. This causes an adjustment of the NAV either upwards or downwards (swing factor). The company determines this threshold as an fractional value based on market conditions, liquidity and risk evaluations.
