“Alternatives” going mainstream 9/22/25

In this episode of ETF Edge, Dominic Chiu hosts Paisley Nardini from Simplify and Todd Rosenbluth from Vetify to discuss the increasing interest in alternative investments within exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The conversation explores how the changing correlation between stocks and bonds is driving investors to seek diversification through alternatives like gold, Bitcoin, and private credit. They delve into income-generating strategies, including the use of options and derivatives, and the role of active management in navigating volatile markets. The guests also highlight the demographic tailwinds supporting income-oriented products and discuss the collaboration between Vetify and Simplify on a new private credit ETF, PCR, designed to provide liquid access to this asset class for a broader range of investors, including potential inclusion in 401k plans.
