Accessing Institutional Secured Credit in an ETF
• 1 CE Credit
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.
Accepted for 1 CFP / IWI / CFA CE Credit
