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. Said losses were mostly due to a temporary spike in JAAA's discount, with NAV returns being extremely close together. In my opinion, JAAA's small, temporary discount should be of little. Besides these losses, there are basically no meaningful differences between the ETFs, and I consider them to be effectively interchangeable choices.
