SPDR SSGA Apollo IG Public & Private Credit ETF (PRIV)

The SPDR SSGA Apollo IG Public & Private Credit ETF (PRIV) is the only truly liquid, zero-minimum private-credit exposure: one share at any brokerage, a 0.70% expense ratio, daily on-exchange liquidity, and investment-grade quality. It launched February 27, 2025 as the first private-credit ETF, with 10-35% of the portfolio in private credit sourced by Apollo. The trade-offs are structural: the private-credit content is diluted and can fall below 10%, the income profile is investment-grade and far below direct platforms (fund-reported), and the SEC publicly questioned the fund's naming and liquidity mechanics at launch; those liquidity-mismatch questions remain unresolved. Asset gathering has been modest. For a reader who wants a taste of the asset class without lockups, minimums, or accreditation, this is the honest starting point. Peers include the BondBloxx Private Credit CLO ETF (PCMM, launched December 2024).
