The sub-adviser change to King Street is a positive signal given their scale and expertise in CLOs. However, the deal requires shareholder approval; monitor proxy filing for dissenter risk. If approved, the strategy shift toward dynamic CLO allocation could enhance income generation. Any public opposition from large holders would be a material development.
