August 2008 Overview & Outlook
Loan returns improved in August, though they remained in the red. The S&P/LSTA Index posted a negative 0.13% return during the month, compared to a six-month low of negative 0.76% in July.
This brings loan returns for the first eight months of 2008 to negative 1.97%, down from a 0.2% return during the same period in 2007. With four months to go, the loan market’s unbroken streak of positive-return years – from the commencement of the S&P/LSTA Index in 1997, through 2007 – is in peril.
Come December, it may be a photo finish. Here’s why. Each month, the S&P/LSTA Index produces roughly 50 bps of interest. This will provide some 2% of incremental return by year-end. That means that prices can sink no more than 0.20% from current levels if the market is to stay in the black. If prices decline more than that, returns inevitably will be negative for the full year.
Few expect a big move in prices in the months ahead. Today’s high spreads are cushioning any more declines. At an average Index spread of L+639, a great deal of default risk already is incorporated into today’s spreads (about 12% by our calculations; see the Sept. 4 LoanStats for details). As well, the calendar of new loans remains light. But anemic supply remains deadlocked with weak demand.
The CLO market remains in ruins, of course, with year-to-date issuance off 82%, at just $12.2 billion. And retail investors continue to lack conviction. Between June and August, AMG reports that mom-and-pop investors withdrew $49 million on net from the daily-access funds. Repayments, meanwhile, continue to languish, with an average monthly total this year of $4.8 billion, or 1% of outstandings, down from $12.4 billion, or 3%, in 2007. Fundraising from traditional institutional accounts like pension funds has picked up in recent months. The amounts involved, however, remain limited, at perhaps $5-10 billion overall, managers estimate. Clearly, this is not enough to move the needle, what with $591 billion of institutional loans outstanding.
Where that leaves things is clear. New-style, ’08-model deals continue to be the darling of the loan market, loaded as they are with investor-friendly spreads and structure. But as for the great pool of pre-2008 loans trading, which comprises nearly all of the S&P/LSTA Index, accounts expect prices to continue to move in a tight trading range in the months ahead. This relative calm will, accounts say, be punctuated by stark individual movements – mostly to the downside – based on earnings reports and credit events. Too many of these and the market could find itself posting a negative return this year, for the first time.
Bear-market rules
With the market still trending lower in August, accounts continued to embrace higher-quality paper. For this reason, BB loan returns beat single-B returns, at positive 0.04% to negative 0.30%. First-lien loans, likewise, outperformed second-lien paper, at negative 0.10% to negative 0.70%. And first-lien loans with maintenance tests outpaced covenant-lite paper, at negative 0.08% to negative 0.24%.
The August returns reinforce the broader 2008 theme. For the first eight months of the year, (1) BB loans are ahead of single-B loans, at negative 0.33% to negative 3.08%, (2) first-lien loans have beaten second-lien loans, at negative 1.57% to negative 8.59% and (3) covenant-heavy loans have outperformed covenant-lite, at negative 1.45% to negative 2.13%.

August 2008 Overview & Outlook
Calmer waters After an eventful first five months of 2008, the loan market cooled in the summer. From June through August, S&P/LSTA Index returns ranged 1.01 percentage points (negative 0.76% to positive 0.25%), down from 1.70 during the three months ended July and from 3.45 during the three months ended June.
August’s reading, in fact, is the tightest three-month return band since prior to the correction. Between last July and May, this metric has averaged 3.68 percentage points. Many accounts believe that the tamped-down volatility of recent months signals that the extremes of the liquidity crisis have passed, for all the obvious reasons: (1) the calendar has deflated to $45 billion, from a peak of $237 billion last July, (2) the structured-finance market has no place left to go but up (though it’s certainly taking its time doing so) and (3) the wave of TRS unwinds that roiled the market in early 2008 is in the past.
For all these reasons, in recent months loans have been much steadier performers than high-yield and equities. Indeed, the 1.01-percentage-point return range for loans of the past three months is well within high-yield, at three percentage points, and the S&P 500, at 11.06. During the first five months of the year the field was much tighter, with loan returns ranging 6.93 percentage points, compared to 5.23 for high-yield and 11.38 for the S&P 500.
Clearly, loans are unlikely to return to the placid days from 1997 through mid-2007, when return volatility was just a quarter of high-yield and an eighth of equities. But with most of the technical extremes now apparently over for loan investors, the inherent structuring features of this paper – which largely remains senior secured and floating-rate – will keep loans from experiencing the same level of turbulence generally seen in high-yield and equities.
That’s the theory, at least.
Loans versus other asset classes
The loan market was slower to react to declining oil prices in August than other asset classes. As a result, loans lagged the four other indexes that we track in this report each month. In August, loans were off 0.13%, compared to positive 0.32% for the Merrill Lynch Master High Yield index, positive 1.77 for 10-year Treasuries, positive 2.63 for the S&P 500 and positive 0.70 for the Merrill Lynch investment-grade bond index.
In the year through August, meanwhile, loans are running in the middle of the pack, at negative 1.97%. Loans are outperforming high-yield (negative 2.55%) and the S&P 500 (negative 11%), but lag 10-year Treasuries (positive 4.15%) and investment-grade bonds (negative 0.98%).
On a risk-adjusted-return basis, meanwhile, loans continue to find their level after a decade of brilliant outperformance. The credit correction, in fact, has lowered the Sharpe ratio of loans from 0.94 between January 1997 and June 2007 to 0.36 as of August. In doing so, loans are now in league with the other four asset classes LCD follows. During that same period high-yield has generated a 0.31 Sharpe ratio; 10-year Treasuries, 0.38; S&P 500, 0.27; and investment-grade bonds, 0.55.

August 2008 Overview & OutlookBig movers The market continues to be weighted toward decliners, which outnumbered advancers in August. Thirteen loans reduced overall returns by one basis point or more, and five added one basis point or more. For the second month in a row, Idearc was the biggest detractor, at five basis points, followed by Delphi (three basis points), and Open Solutions, Tribune and New World Gaming (two basis points each). On the other side of the ledger, the biggest gainers include three airline companies, as lower oil prices have eased pressure in that sector. The biggest gainers: Delta Airlines, John Maneely and Alltel (two basis points each), along with US Airways and Northwest Airlines (one basis point each).
In the year to date, detractors continue to swamp advancers, at 107 to 39. The names on the negative side of the ledger include Idearc (25 bps), Ford (14 bps), Tribune(11 bps) and Univision and MGM (nine basis points each). Loans adding one basis point or more include Alltel (16 bps), along with Georgia-Pacific and Cablevision(four basis points), and HCA and John Maneely (three basis points each).
Segments
Performing loans. Performing loans underperformed the overall market in August, at negative 0.15% to negative 0.13%. However, performing loans edged the broader Index in the year to date, at negative 1.80% to negative 1.97%.
BBs. BB loans outperformed the overall market, returning 0.04%. Similarly, for the first eight months of the year BBs continue to outperform, at negative 0.33% to negative 1.97%.
Single-Bs. As accounts continue to embrace quality paper, single-B loans underperformed the broader market, returning negative 0.30% in August. This segment is 111 bps behind the broader market in the year to date, with a return of negative 3.08%.
Second-lien. As with single-B paper, the push for quality has battered second-lien loans, which returned negative 0.70% in August, underperforming the overall market by 57 bps. Second-liens lost 8.59% during the first eight months of 2008, more than four times the loss in the broader Index.
First-lien. First-lien loan returns barely beat the broader Index in August, at negative 0.10%. Through August, these loans have bested the broader market, at negative 1.57% to negative 1.97%.
Middle-market. Issuers with EBITDA of $50 million or less continue to be the stand-out performers in August, posting a 0.47% return, compared to negative 0.13% return of the broader market. However, performance of these loans in the year to date stands at negative 2.33%, well below the overall performance of negative 1.97%.
Large-corporate. Large-corporate loans (those to issuers with EBITDA greater than $50 million) just barely underperformed the overall Index, at negative 0.15%. Through the first eight months of the year, large-corporate loans were in line with the broader market, at negative 1.95% to negative 1.97%.
Covenant-lite. First-lien, incurrence-test-only loans posted a negative 0.24% return in August. In the year to date, this segment has underperformed the broader Index, at negative 2.13%.
