In this special edition of Real Conversations, Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough hosts Danielle Gilbert, Managing Director at Eldridge Capital Management, for a high-level look into the evolving CLO (Collateralized Loan Obligation) market.

Gilbert brings deep domain expertise to break down the risk-reward calculus in today’s CLO landscape. Together, she and Keith tackle key questions around:

The health of the leveraged loan market
Shifts in credit quality and default risk
Where institutional capital is flowing—and why
How macro volatility is reshaping the search for yield

This is a must-watch for fixed-income investors and portfolio managers looking to understand how CLOs are positioned within the broader credit cycle.
