Elevator Pitch

• OXLC's operating cash flow profile has worsened and equity raises continue. I am skeptical about the above-NAV raise, below-par CLO investment strategy as investment fair values are still below cost.
• Long term, OXLC returns have been poor; eroding 11% of NAV value and 4% of dividends value every year from 2011-2024.
• OXLC's NAV is steady over the past few quarters, but OXLC is trading at a premium to it, which makes it difficult for me to have a constructive view.
• Relative technicals vs SPX500 are at a key monthly support, which is a small bullish development.
• OXLC's fee rates are high, but its reduction driven by lower interest costs is an improvement. I expect this tailwind to continue in a dovish rates environment in 2025.
