Eagle Point Credit Company is restructuring its portfolio by moving away from collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) to increase stability and diversify into regulatory capital relief securities and private credit. The company’s common dividend currently exceeds its net investment income, causing net asset value erosion and raising concerns about a potential dividend cut if cash flow does not improve. However, its perpetual preferred shares, ECC.PR.D, offer attractive features such as over 9% yield, strong income coverage, monthly payouts, and capital preservation, making them appealing for income-focused investors. These preferred shares also benefit from regulatory asset coverage and convertible debt support, fitting well in tax-advantaged accounts for reliable income and potential capital gains.
