Why Now is the Time for CLO-Focused ETFs in Europe With ETFs playing an expanding role for institutional investors and increasing demand for diversified income, structured credit is the next frontier. Palmer Square’s expansion into Europe is a response to this demand, bringing access to the CLO market in an efficient, liquid, and transparent investment vehicle. Soon, European institutional investors will have access to a passively managed ETF targeting European issued AAA and AA CLO debt as well as Euro-denominated versions of the passive US AAA and AA CLO debt ETF and the active multi-asset credit ETF currently offered by Palmer Square in the US. With these three options, we’re providing a complete toolkit for European institutional investors looking to optimize their credit allocations. Because the European market is embracing more sophisticated ETF structures, we believe the time is right to bring our structured credit expertise to a broader audience. The future of fixed income investing is evolving—and Palmer Square is proud to help lead the way.

Why Europe, Why Now? With rising demand, Palmer Square will be launching a new series of CLO ETFs available in Europe for the first time ever. Soon, a European CLO ETF, a US CLO ETF and a US multi-asset ETF will be available via Palmer Square’s UCITS platform. Why Europe and why now? Investor Demand is Rising: European institutions are increasingly looking for efficient, transparent, and liquid ways to access structured credit. ETFs provide a scalable solution, and CLO debt—particularly AAA and AA tranches—offer an attractive risk-adjusted return in today’s rate environment. Diversification & Stability: CLOs have proven their resilience, with low historical default rates and strong structural protections. In addition, for European investors, adding access to USD-denominated CLO exposure through financial tools like our previously launched US ETFs enhances portfolio flexibility and income potential. The introduction of our ETFs in Europe highlights our dedication to providing innovative solutions for navigating complex investment landscapes worldwide.

"Inflationary pressure will increase as President Trump’s tariffs take effect, which will bring uncertainty to the markets and the economy." So advised Jon Brager, Palmer Square Capital Management’s Portfolio Manager, in a recent discussion with Financial Advisor Magazine regarding how inflationary pressure and increased market volatility are setting up a “higher for longer” interest rate environment.

In Forbes’ “Serious Fed Warning Sparks Bitcoin Price Crash Fear,” Senior Contributor Billy Bambrough brings renewed focus to Palmer Square Capital Management’s Portfolio Manager Jon Brager’s perspective on the Fed’s potential rate hike. Brager, who warned that “the chance that the Federal Reserve will boost interest rates this year to limit inflation is higher than the near‐zero level currently priced into the markets,” underscores the urgency behind closely watching the latest economic indicators. In recent discussions with Quartz and MarketWatch, Brager explained that while the probability of a hike might seem low on paper, the bond market’s obsessive reaction to Fed policy shifts suggests otherwise. This sentiment has resonated beyond traditional markets—with Forbes highlighting that the recent Fed warning has sparked fears of a Bitcoin price crash, reflecting the broader market’s sensitivity to monetary policy moves. As inflation data continues to shape the economic landscape, the implications are clear: staying vigilant and responsive is key in both fixed-income and alternative asset classes. For a deeper dive into how these factors could reshape market dynamics, read the full Forbes article here: https://lnkd.in/eGFXmKGw #PalmerSquareCapitalManagement #MarketInsights #FederalReserve #Inflation #InterestRates

“The chance that the Federal Reserve will boost interest rates this year to limit inflation is higher than the near-zero level currently priced into the markets.” That’s according to Palmer Square Capital Management's Portfolio Manager Jon Brager who spoke with Quartz about the Fed’s path ahead. While the chance of a hike remains low, “the bond market is obsessive over Fed policy, and reacts violently to changes in Fed positioning,” Brager explains. Fixed-income funds have seen increased volatility, yet the floating-rate debt in Palmer Square’s products remains unaffected.

Are Fed Rate Hikes Coming? “Market participants are not yet pricing in a rate hike — which would put pressure on the entire market, including stocks and bonds.” This is from Palmer Square Capital Management's Managing Director Jon Brager’s conversation with MarketWatch. He points out that if inflation readings from the producer-price index and consumer-price index fail to cool off, Federal Reserve officials could be forced to pivot to hiking interest rates.
