Eagle Point Credit: Avoid This 20%+ Yield Trap

  • Eagle Point Credit offers a high yield but suffers from massive share dilution, premium to NAV, and a poor long-term track record. ECC consistently pays out more in dividends than it earns, leading to ongoing NAV erosion and unsustainable payouts. The fund's focus on high-risk CLO tranches results in volatile returns and significant capital destruction over time.
