Accessing Institutional Secured Credit in an ETF
Fixed income is evolving, and some of the most compelling income opportunities today sit in markets long dominated by institutions: collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and secured credit. As demand for income and diversification accelerates, these markets are opening up to advisors through actively managed ETFs from Pacer and Barings.
This webinar will cover:
- How CLOs and secured credit work, and why institutions have long relied on them for income.
- The role collateral and structural protections play in helping preserve capital.
- How active management and the ETF structure put these institutional strategies within reach for advisors and their clients.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the global economy, but its rapid growth depends on three critical pillars working in harmony: the hardware that powers it, the physical infrastructure that houses it, and the energy that fuels it. As AI demand accelerates, each layer of this ecosystem is becoming a compelling investment opportunity.
Join us for the Pacer ETFs iSummit designed exclusively for financial advisors. This online event will provide expert insights from Pacer ETFs’ investment thought leaders and portfolio managers. These interactive, educational sessions offer CE credits and are complimentary for financial professionals.
Cash is not a strategy — yet nearly $9 trillion is sitting idle. Clients want safety. They expect growth. And access to their money. Meanwhile, CDs, T-bills, and money markets are offering declining, static yields — and many structured alternatives introduce caps, buffers, lockups, or timing risk. So how can we, as an industry, achieve higher rates of return without altering clients’ risk profiles?
As global markets evolve, many investors are reconsidering their exposure beyond the U.S.—seeking growth, value, and innovation in international economies. A combination of attractive valuations, high free cash flow, and emerging innovation abroad presents compelling reasons to look globally for the next wave of opportunity.
Artificial intelligence is driving a massive technological shift, one that is fundamentally reshaping how data is created, processed, and delivered. As demand surges, the digital infrastructure and supply chain enabling AI is becoming a powerful investment opportunity.
Join President of Pacer ETFs Distributors, Sean O’Hara, as he shares insights on selecting the right dividend policy for your clients using a dividend multiplier strategy, diversifying your growth investments beyond the magnificent seven using free cash flow margin, and navigating turbulent markets by aiming to participate in positive trends and avoid negative trends.
