OXFORD LANE CAPITAL CORP - OXLC 5 01/31/27

OXLCZ is a Nasdaq-listed security issued by Oxford Lane Capital Corp., a closed-end investment management company. Rather than representing common equity, OXLCZ is a tradable note—specifically a 6.00% Series 2029 Term Preferred Share. Its primary purpose is to provide investors with a fixed-rate dividend, paid monthly, while also offering potential price movement on the secondary market. As a listed instrument, its daily price reflects both interest rate conditions and the credit health of the underlying portfolio.

Investors monitor OXLCZ mainly for its income potential and its relationship to the broader collateralized loan obligation (CLO) market. Because Oxford Lane Capital Corp. invests in CLO equity and junior debt tranches, OXLCZ serves as a window into credit conditions and risk appetite. Followers watch its price, monthly dividend declarations, and any changes in net asset value per share to gauge the health of the fund and the CLO sector.

Determining whether OXLCZ is overvalued or undervalued requires comparing its current market price to its net asset value (NAV) per share, which is reported periodically by Oxford Lane Capital Corp. Because OXLCZ is a preferred security with a fixed liquidation preference, premiums or discounts to NAV can signal market sentiment on interest rates and credit risk. For the latest valuation data, refer to the live OXLCZ quote and fund disclosures available on this page.

Before trading OXLCZ, review the latest bid-ask spread, daily volume, and whether the instrument is trading at a premium or discount to its liquidation preference. Also check the most recent dividend declaration and ex-dividend date to avoid unexpected income adjustments. Because preferred shares can be sensitive to interest rate expectations, monitor current Treasury yields and any Oxford Lane Capital Corp. announcements regarding portfolio credit quality or leverage.

Yes, OXLCZ pays a fixed monthly dividend. The payments are declared by Oxford Lane Capital Corp. and are based on the stated annual rate for the Series 2029 Term Preferred Shares. The exact distribution amount, ex-dividend date, and payment date can be found in the latest fund press releases or the dividend section of this page. Dividend declarations are subject to board approval and may be affected by the fund’s financial condition.

Interest rate changes can directly influence OXLCZ’s market price. Because it is a fixed-rate preferred security, rising rates may make its fixed dividend less attractive compared to newer issues, potentially pressuring the price. Conversely, falling rates can increase demand for its yield. Additionally, Oxford Lane Capital Corp.’s CLO investments often use floating-rate debt, so rate shifts can affect the fund’s net investment income and its ability to cover preferred dividends.
