Palmer Square Capital Management Launches New Multi-Asset and CLO Credit ETFs

Top global CLO issuer introduces active Credit Opportunities ETF (PSQO) and passive CLO Senior Debt ETF (PSQA)

MISSION WOODS, Kan., Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Palmer Square Capital Management ("Palmer Square") a credit-focused alternative asset management firm founded in 2009 with over $32 billion in assets under management, is announcing the launch of two innovative exchange traded funds (ETFs). Palmer Square's new ETFs include The Palmer Square Credit Opportunities ETF (PSQO), an actively managed multi-asset credit strategy and The Palmer Square CLO Senior Debt ETF (PSQA), an indexed collateralized loan obligation (CLO) focused fund providing access to the broader universe of AAA and AA tranches of the US CLO market.

"Our deep experience in managing opportunistic multi-asset credit strategies and funds across the spectrum of corporate and structured credit as well as our market-leading expertise in structuring, managing, and issuing CLOs ensures our ETFs are designed with a keen understanding of the market's complexities and opportunities," said Chris Long, Palmer Square Chairman and CEO. "As the creator of the first public Senior and Debt CLO benchmarks in 2015 and our position as a top issuer in the global CLO market, we have laid the groundwork to continue providing investors with high-quality access to the landscape of credit assets through a multitude of products, which will now include ETFs."

PSQO is an actively managed, comprehensive multi-asset credit allocation product offering investors a single-manager solution to simplify portfolio construction and provide enhanced access to the best relative value opportunities across corporate and structured credit, to include CLOs, investment grade and high yield corporate bonds, ABS and bank loans.
PSQA provides passive access to the CLO market through a proprietary, research-driven CLO Senior Debt Index (CLOSE) that creates an investable way of accessing Palmer Square's deep understanding and research within the senior tranches of the CLO market.

"Our experience and expertise have culminated in these innovative ETFs, giving investors an efficient way to access sophisticated credit strategies," said Angie Long, Chief Investment Officer and Portfolio Manager. "Palmer Square's investment philosophy has been consistent through multiple credit cycles and is underpinned by the Firm's core competencies of locating relative value and selecting credits through granular, bottom-up fundamental credit analysis."

The ETFs begin trading Thursday, September 12 and Palmer Square will be ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange the same day.

_{The Palmer Square CLO Senior Debt ETF and the Palmer Square Credit Opportunities ETF are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC.}

_{The Palmer Square Credit Opportunities ETF: The Fund is subject to liquidity risk and therefore may not be able to sell some or all of the investments that it holds due to a lack of demand in the marketplace or other factors. The Fund is subject to credit risk in that if an issuer or guarantor of a debt security held by the Fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the Fund defaults or is downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or if the value of the assets underlying a security declines, the value of the Fund’s portfolio will typically decline. The Fund is classified as “nondiversified,” which means the Fund may invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. Investment in securities of a limited number of issuers exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potential losses than if its assets were diversified. High yield securities, commonly referred to as “junk bonds”, are rated below investment grade by at least one of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or if unrated, determined by the Fund’s advisor to be of comparable credit quality high yield securities). High yield funds are speculative, involve greater risks of default, downgrade, or price declines and are more volatile and tend to be less liquid than investment-grade securities. Generally fixed income securities decrease in value if interest rates rise and increase in value if interest rates fall, and longer-term and lower rated securities are more volatile than shorter-term and higher rated securities. Using derivatives exposes the Fund to additional or heightened risks, including leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, and credit risk. Derivatives transactions can be highly illiquid and difficult to unwind or value and they can increase Fund volatility.}
