When it comes to investing in alternative markets, the private credit market has been garnering attention in recent years. However, a “software selloff” combined with transparency concerns have some investors questioning the space.

In a Q2 Market Outlook Symposium with TMX VettaFi, and John Kim, CEO of Reckoner Capital Management, it was noted that collateralized loan obligation (CLO) ETFs have captured roughly $6 billion in inflows year to date[1]. One of the notions discussed in the symposium is the “complexity premium” tied to CLOs.

The once obscure CLO ETF market has officially broken out of its niche shell and entered a new phase of growth. Heading into 2026, total global assets quickly topped $35 billion and have now surged past the $50 billion mark in early July.

Investor interest in collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) continues to expand in 2026. TMX VettaFi caught up with Reckoner Capital co-CIO Tim Wickstrom at ETF Exchange 2026 to get a pulse on the CLO ETF market, which is demanding an active mandate.

A common notion in the fixed income market surrounds rate decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve as the primary pivot point for portfolio shifts. However, in the collateralized loan obligation (CLO) space, the rate conversation presents a different dynamic.

Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) were once the domain of institutional finance. However, the advent of ETFs have democratized access to this specialized corner of the structured credit market.

The March 2026 ETF Flash Flows report from State Street Investment Management revealed a fixed income market landscape defined by stubborn inflation and rising yields. The report highlighted record-breaking inflows into short-term fixed income instruments.
