In this episode of Insight is Capital, Mark Jarosz, Head of Credit Alternatives at BMO Global Asset Management, joins us to demystify the world of Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) — a sophisticated yet increasingly accessible asset class, now reshaping how investors think about income, risk, and portfolio diversification.Jarosz explains how CLOs are structured, how they differ from the infamous CDOs of 2008, and why they've quietly become a go-to for institutional investors seeking floating-rate income with resilience across market cycles. With the launch of BMO's CLO ETFs (tickers: ZAAA and ZBBZ), everyday investors now have access to institutional-quality fixed income exposure for the first time in Canada.From the mechanics of tranche hierarchies and over-collateralization to the yield opportunities in BBB-rated tranches, we cut through the jargon to reveal why CLOs are becoming an essential building block for diversified income portfolios.3 Key TakeawaysCLOs Are Not CDOs: Jarosz clarifies that CLOs are built on pools of investment grade corporate loans, and are actively managed, transparent, and rigorously rated — with zero defaults at the AAA level over 30 years of history.Floating-Rate Advantage: In a “higher-for-longer” rate environment, CLOs' floating-rate structure protects investors from duration risk while providing yield enhancement and resilience during both rising and falling rate cycles.Democratization of Access: Through BMO's ZAAA (AAA CLO ETF) and ZBBZ (BBB CLO ETF), Canadian investors can now access institutional-grade credit in a liquid, transparent ETF format — a first in the Canadian market.Timestamps & Chapters[00:00] Introduction to Fixed Income Challenges[01:01] Guest Introduction: Mark Jarosz[02:30] Mark Jarosz's Career Journey[04:19] The Impact of the Financial Crisis on Career Development[05:21] Defining CLOs: Structure and Function[07:32] The Role of Rating Agencies in CLOs[08:43] CLOs vs. CDOs: Key Differences[10:54] Current Market Conditions for CLOs[11:55] Evaluating CLO Managers[13:22] Yield Opportunities in CLO Investments[16:02] Over-Collateralization Explained[17:50] Exploring BBB Rated CLOs[19:56] The Role of AAA CLOs in Investment Strategies[22:50] Institutional Investor Behavior in Volatile Markets[24:52] Benefits of CLOs in Portfolio Diversification[26:32] Floating Rate Structure of CLOs[30:44] Understanding Risks Associated with CLOs[35:12] Introduction of CLO ETFs for Retail Investors[38:25] Investor Preferences for Investment Grade Products[39:58] Monthly Distribution and Yield Pickup[41:05] Utilizing ETFs for Access to Asset Managers[42:01] ConclusionCopyright © AdvisorAnalyst#CLOInvesting #FixedIncome #AlternativeInvestments #BMOGAM #CreditMarkets #YieldStrategy #FloatingRate #StructuredCredit #InvestmentGrade #ZAAA #ZBBZ #AdvisorEducation #PortfolioDiversification #IncomeInvesting #InsightIsCapital #PierreDaillie #MarkJarosz #CanadianInvestors #CLOETF #WealthManagement

Private credit's rapid rise is reshaping corporate finance. Once a tool for middle-market borrowers, it's now a mainstream funding option for investment-grade companies seeking customized, long-term capital solutions. That shift—and what it means for treasury—is the focus of our newest episode, featuring Apollo Global Management COO of Global Origination Adam Kostrinsky. Mr. Kostrinsky tells NeuGroup's Justin Jones that many corporates are turning to Apollo for large-scale, long-duration projects—from energy transition to data centers—because the firm can “really be a long-term partner, offering differentiated financing solutions" that extend beyond the typical time horizons available in public markets.

The Chicago Bears didn't make the big splash fans were hoping for — but they did make the move they needed. Ryan Poles trades for DE Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, adding a former first-round pick to a defensive line that just lost Dayo Odeyingbo to a torn Achilles. Chicago also tried to land Jets pass rusher Jermaine Johnson, but the second-round asking price was too steep.On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down why this wasn't a “headline” deadline… and why that's actually the right call for a team that still needs draft capital to rebuild the core.We also dive into:✅ Ben Johnson's detailed breakdown of QB Caleb Williams' midseason progress ✅ C.J. Gardner-Johnson's instant impact after just one week in the system ✅ Where the Bears rank statistically entering Week 10 — the good, the bad, and the surprisingThis is a big-picture episode for fans who want to understand where Chicago truly stands and how each piece fits into the long-term plan.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Prime Minister Carney's first federal budget featuring a $78.3 billion deficit. While the budget is a departure from the Trudeau era in terms of its diagnosis of what ails Canada's economy, they express concern that it does not meet the moment. They explore whether the government's heavy spending approach and "Laurentian capitalism" model can deliver promised productivity gains, or whether Canada needs a more market-driven strategy focused on tax cuts, deregulation, and unleashing private sector innovation.

Making a Grade: Victorian Examinations and the Rise of Standardized Testing (U Toronto Press, 2025) takes historiographic and sociological perspectives developed to understand large-scale scientific and technical systems and uses them to highlight the standardization that went into "standardized testing." Starting in the 1850s achievement tests became standardized in the British Isles, and were administered on an industrial scale. By the end of the century more than two million people had written mass exams, particularly in science, technology, and mathematics. Some candidates responded to this standardization by cramming or cheating; others embraced the hope that such tests rewarded not only knowledge but also merit. Written with humour, Making a Grade looks at how standardized testing practices quietly appeared, and then spread worldwide. This book situates mass exams, marks, and credentials in an emerging paper-based meritocracy, arguing that such exams often first appeared as "cameras" to neutrally record achievement, and then became "engines" to change education as people tailored their behaviour to fit these tests. Taking the perspectives of both examiners and examinees, Making a Grade claims that our own culture's desire for accountability through objective testing has a long history. James Elwick is Associate Professor at the Department of Science, Technology and Society, for which he is also Chair. He has written on the history of the life sciences and scientists including John Tyndall, Herbert Spencer, and T.H. Huxley, and is currently writing a history of academic integrity, viewed through the lens of students who cheat on their tests and other school assessments. Jacob Ward is a historian at Maastricht University, the Netherlands. He has written in the history of science and technology, environmental history, business and financial history, and political history. He recently published Visions of a Digital Nation: Market and Monopoly in British Telecommunications (MIT Press, 2024) and he's currently working on a history of futurology in the United Kingdom and Europe from 1945 to the present day.
