Having insights into CLO equity pricing between NAV announcements will help investors understand the risks involved with investing in CLO equity funds. It is helpful that XFLT posts a daily NAV but there are limitations to using its NAV as guide because around 50% of its assets are in liquid loans that mask the changes to market movements in its CLO equity portfolio. OXLC should announce its March NAV soon
