In this week’s ETF Intelligence, James Carthew looks at Xtrackers’ proposed switch from a broad innovation strategy to a semiconductor-focused index, including what the change could mean for concentration, volatility and investor exposure. Richard Williams then explores whether private market investments can work in an exchange-traded structure. He looks at PM Alpha’s use of fully collateralised exchange-traded notes (ETNs) to give wealth managers access to private market funds, how these products differ from conventional ETFs and why their liquidity still reflects that of the underlying private assets. The discussion also covers valuation, fees, liquidity risk and the potential for structures like these to broaden access to private markets over time.
