Private equity has been one of the investment trends garnering attention from the retail audience despite the more recent macro challenges. The advent of the ETF further democratized access that used to only be available to institutional and accredited investors.
Private credit has emerged as an attractive asset class for investors seeking enhanced returns, but recent data reveals a critical challenge: manager selection risk. Notably, the 54 constituents in the VettaFi Private Credit Index showed dramatic performance dispersion in 2025.
The rapid institutionalization of the $3 trillion private credit market has left many financial advisors racing to catch up. While the asset class was once a walled garden for pension funds, the mainstreaming of private debt requires a new level of diligence and education.
The landscape of income generation continues to shift as advisors look beyond traditional fixed income. The Simplify Private Credit Strategy ETF (PCR) has emerged as a vehicle for access to an asset class once reserved for institutional investors.
For decades, the 60/40 portfolio was the gold standard for balanced investing. However, as correlations between stocks and bonds fluctuate and traditional safe havens face new pressures, advisors are looking toward alternatives to increase portfolio efficiency.
State Street Investment Management is continuing its push into the intersection of public and private credit with the launch of a new ETF. The firm announced today the launch of the State Street IG Public & Private ABS ETF (PRAB).
