Eagle Point Credit (ECC) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. (NYSE: ECC) is a closed-end management investment company focused primarily on investing in collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). Its portfolio generally includes CLO equity and debt tranches backed mainly by portfolios of senior-secured corporate loans. Through these investments, the company seeks to generate current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation.

Eagle Point Credit invests across the capital structures of CLO transactions, with an emphasis on securities that may provide exposure to diversified pools of corporate borrowers. CLOs are typically backed by loans to companies in a range of industries, giving the fund indirect exposure to the broader leveraged-loan market rather than directly originating loans to individual businesses.

The company commenced operations in 2014 and is externally managed by Eagle Point Income Management LLC, an affiliate of Eagle Point Credit Management LLC. Eagle Point Credit’s investment activities are primarily focused on the United States and the North American corporate credit market, although the underlying CLO portfolios may include loans to companies with international operations.
