Challenge

Fair Oaks wanted to extend access to a traditionally institutional asset class – CLOs – through an active ETF aimed at wealth managers and private investors. The concept required clear, confident explanation to avoid confusion.

Solution

We focused on demystifying CLOs and highlighting the fund’s transparency, risk controls, and income potential. We provided concise education to journalists, developed strong talking points, and generated media interest through first-mover positioning.

Result

The ETF launch received positive coverage in key trade and investment media. Fair Oaks established credibility with a wider investor audience, reinforcing its role as an innovator in structured credit.
