Financial executives at the Milken Institute's annual global conference have indicated that individual investors can anticipate an increasing variety of financial products that incorporate private credit in the near future. Currently, only a limited number of exchange-traded funds and similar products designed for non-high-net-worth investors have been launched. However, industry leaders from banks, asset management firms, and private equity firms are optimistic about the expansion of these offerings.
Marc Rowan, co-founder and CEO of Apollo Global Management, highlighted the growing importance of traditional asset managers, suggesting they will become the primary clients for private asset products moving forward. This shift signals a significant change in the investment landscape, as more investors gain access to private market opportunities that were previously reserved for wealthier individuals. The anticipated growth in private asset offerings could diversify investment portfolios and provide new avenues for returns, reflecting an evolving financial environment that caters to a broader range of investors.
