PAAA Versus JAAA: Comparing These Two High-Quality CLO ETFs

Lots of readers have asked me to compare PAAA and JAAA, in light of the former's losses earlier in the year.

PGIM AAA CLO ETF offers a safer alternative to most AAA CLO funds for risk-on cash allocations. PAAA demonstrated superior performance and stability compared to sector leader JAAA during the recent market downturn and rebound.
