Eagle Point Credit's common equity has performed very poorly, while its preferred shares and baby bonds have delivered comparatively strong risk-adjusted returns. The article compares ECC's 2030 bonds with FS/KKR's 2030 issuance and argues that returns must be judged relative to risk rather than nominal gains.
