  • Five Takeaways from the Opal Group’s CLO Summit. Palmer Square's Jon Brager attended and spoke on the macroeconomic & geopolitical outlook for 2025. Here’s his key insights shaping the market for year-end and beyond: ● Bullish Sentiment: The overall tone was positive, with market participants actively working to price deals before year-end. ● The State of Supply: The consensus is that CLO issuance will stay strong next year, driven by low liability levels and the potential for tighter AAA spreads. Even with the challenged arbitrage, printing at these historically low levels remains attractive. ● Relative Value: Despite historically tight spreads, the all-in yield of CLO debt remains attractive, particularly in a higher-for-longer interest rate scenario. ● CLO Equity Focus: Discussions centered around CLO equity, signaling robust issuance potential for 2025. European CLO equity is particularly attractive due to fewer repricings compared to the U.S. ● European Engagement: European presence at Opal continues to grow, with approximately 15 EUR managers conducting meetings. Overall, the market is active, dynamic, and poised for an exciting year ahead. #CLOs #OpalConference #StructuredFinance #MarketInsights #Finance

  • “We don’t do anything without considering it to be a platform that we’re going to scale at size, and we have a lot of history of doing that. We’re the number one CLO issuer in the world. We created the static CLO. We had one of the earliest interval funds. We have a long history in BBB and BB CLOs. We also just recently launched indices for the European CLO market, so you may want to stay tuned for some product development there.” As pioneers in private credit and credit alternatives, we’re committed to delivering innovative solutions tailored to investor needs, PSQO and PSQA is just the beginning. Founder & CEO, Christopher Long, joined Nathan Geraci on #ETFPrime to discuss Palmer Square's investment journey and the launch of our new ETFs: PSQO and PSQA.

  • Our Founder and CEO Christopher Long analyzed the impact of upcoming inflation data on the Fed for CNBC Europe’s Street Signs with Arabile Gumede.   The Fed's gradual easing path seems appropriate, but we're far from declaring victory. With strong employment data and crucial non-farm payrolls coming up, it’s clear there’s still strength in the economy.   “Employment is now the main focus. However, the positioning that Chairman Powell and the Fed have put us on is appropriate so far. When you look at major fundamental components of the economy, most specifically lending, this is a net positive for the corporate debt market, corporate borrowers in general, and keeping that fuel to the fire that is our economic activity.” said Chris Long.   Our recent launch of our ETF PSQO showcases where we see value in this market—providing premium yield and lower risk for investors. As inflation eases, borrowing costs decline, which benefits the corporate debt market, aligning perfectly with our focus on fixed income.   In a market where no silver bullet exists, it’s vital to have the flexibility to adapt across bonds, loans, and credit products. That's what we’ve been doing since 2009, and we continue to believe in the strong outlook for debt markets.   Check out the full interview: https://lnkd.in/eb9DAFRZ

  • We celebrated the debut of our two new ETFs, PSQO and PSQA, on Schwab Network's Trading360, where we discussed how this launch gives investors access to unique value across the credit market.    “This is a fantastic opportunity to bring innovative credit-focused ETFs to a broader audience. The demand from clients has been immense, and these ETFs are designed to meet that need with unique exposure to CLOs and senior debt,” said our Founder and CEO Christopher Long.   Why Now? These products complement the current market environment with premium yield, high quality and shorter duration, providing a strong complement or even a substitute for traditional fixed income portfolios.   Active Management Matters: Our active management approach in PSQO allows us to navigate credit cycles effectively and seek out optimal investment opportunities, offering potentially higher yields and better risk-adjusted returns.   Future Vision: This launch is just the beginning. We're committed to expanding our ETF offerings and leveraging our expertise to deliver unique solutions to the market.   Check out the full interview to learn more about how these ETFs can enhance your portfolio: https://lnkd.in/e8DuVyYG
