2 weeks agoRetirees Chasing 5.3% Yields Need to Know: JAAA's Dividend Safety Depends Entirely on Fed Rate Moves
JAAA invests exclusively in AAA-rated tranches of collateralized loan obligations. CLOs are structured securities backed by pools of leveraged loans to corporations. The AAA-rated senior tranches sit at the top of the payment waterfall, receiving interest payments first and enjoying the strongest credit protection. These loans carry floating interest rates tied to benchmark rates, meaning the fund's income rises and falls with prevailing rates. As borrowers pay interest, that income flows through to JAAA shareholders as monthly distributions.
