The Deutsche Bank European Collateralised Loan Obligation lndex, “DB € CLO”, is a market leading rules-based total return benchmark for broadly syndicated, Euro-denominated CLO debt.
The DB € CLO is built in collaboration with PSL, a leading provider of structured credit valuations and analytics.
The DB € CLO index will offer a history back to the end of 2017, and it is envisaged that these indices will be the first in a series of complementary indices from Deutsche Bank and PSL geared towards the global structured finance market.
DB € CLO offers comprehensive coverage of European CLO debt, tracking approximately €200 billion of securities, as of 1 January 2024.
The DB € CLO Total Return Indices will provide investors, issuers, and market participants with a transparent and comprehensive benchmark for the European CLO debt market, which has grown significantly in recent years due to its attractive risk-return profile and diversification benefits.
The platform will also enable custom blends of the sub-indices to reflect specific portfolios or strategies.

Statements
Conor O’Toole, Global Head of CLO Research & Head of European Asset-Backed Research at Deutsche Bank said:
"We are delighted to launch the DB € CLO TRI, which marks an important development milestone for the European CLO market. This index reflects our strong commitment to innovation and leadership in the structured finance space. We expect its roll out to further foster credibility and trust in the CLO market, support efforts to attract new sources of capital and facilitate market expansion. We believe these indices will provide a valuable tool for investors, issuers, and market participants to measure and enhance their exposure to the European CLO debt market, which offers attractive returns and diversification benefits in the current rate environment."
Fraser Malcolm, Chief Executive Officer at PSL, said:
"We are very pleased to collaborate with Deutsche Bank, a global investment bank with huge experience in both index products and the Global CLO market, to launch the DB € CLO TRI. This index is a testament to our mission to provide independent and objective pricing and analytics for the structured credit market, which is often opaque and complex. We hope this index will increase the transparency and efficiency of the European CLO debt market and enable more investors to access this growing and dynamic asset class. We also expect this CLO product launch to be the first of a number of index-based initiatives that we will work on with Deutsche Bank in the coming months and years.
