How private is your private portfolio? That's a question we've wanted to answer for a while, and we're out with some initial research. Venture capital semiliquid funds were (unsurprisingly) the most exclusive, while direct lending funds were the least exclusive.

Semiliquid funds invested in private equity have a problem. High fees and cash compound to create a nearly insurmountable hurdle to outperforming public stocks. Jack Shannon's chart shows the average semiliquid fund's PE sleeve must beat the S&P 500 by 6.64% to come out ahead.

Major outflows at Blue Owl will test investors patience, but this is exactly what you sign up for with semiliquid funds. Current investors won’t be harmed by the massive outflows, but it may be a while before they get their money back.
Sonali Basak@sonalibasak

Blue Owl Technology Income Corp. redemption requests come in at 40.7% -- while the credit fund sees 21.9%. They're keeping to the 5%. To put into perspective, the 40.7% is almost 4x most of the other largest private BDCs, and the 21.9% is roughly double. The second largest wave of requests was at 14% at Cliffwater.

Play retail games, win retail prizes. Jack Shannon with another killer article today that looks at outflow rates of mutual funds to infer the likelihood of exceeding repurchase limits in interval funds and other semiliquid funds. spr.ly/6015B6dSeJ

Filing to register a leveraged ETF that will invest in futures on a 'bitcoin volatility index' in effort to obtain 1.5x the daily return of that index. So, an ETF that holds futes on index of options contracts tied to BTC. spr.ly/6011B6wcnH

The first actively managed ETF share class debuted today in a landmark moment for the ETF industry. DFA launched Dimensional US Micro CAP ETF as a share class of its US micro cap mutual fund that launched in 1981 and manages nearly $7B in assets.

Appears XOVR saw a big'ish outflow yesterday so the SpaceX SPV weight rose to ~36.9% of assets. I'm as tired of this as you are, believe me but it's such a weird and unacceptable situation that I hope you will excuse me for continuing to track it.
Jeffrey Ptak@syouth1

Looks like XOVR got a big inflow Friday ($280M+) so the SpaceX position has shrunk from 45.7% to 28.3% of net assets. Even though that's still ~2x the board's policy limit on illiquid exposure (15%), it's better than where they were. spr.ly/6016hNwg0

@JSeyff @ProShares Just wait until someone else files for a 3x version. Then the covered calls come. Then buffers. 100% buffers. 2x capped accelerators. Options on the ETFs. Then the next AI company takes over and we start again.

Missed this the other day -- @ProShares has already filed for a 2X Anthropic ETF. No ticker and will be called "Ultra Anthropic ETF". Interesting nonetheless considering Anthropic is still a private company. Gotta stay ahead of the curve!!

Corgi is making strong bid to set record with number of new ETF registrations in single day: Here's yet another filing -- their third today -- this one to register 70 2x ETFs referencing everything from the Mag 7 to uranium, 'longevity consumer', S. Korea sec.gov/Archives/edgar…
