The State Street IG Public & Private ABS ETF (PRAB) is an actively-managed investment fund that primarily focuses on investment grade asset-backed securities (ABS). This includes a mix of both public and private ABS, allowing for a diverse range of investments through an active security selection process. The PRAB seeks to maximize risk-adjusted returns while providing current income to its investors.
Managed by State Street Investment Management’s Active Fixed Income Team, the fund employs a careful risk-aware strategy that integrates a top-down investment approach with a bottom-up security selection methodology. This strategy enables the portfolio managers to construct a portfolio that aims to overweight the most attractive sectors and issuers in the ABS market. Furthermore, PRAB may invest in private ABS sourced from reputable partners, including Apollo Global Securities, LLC (AOS Investments), with allocation percentages that may vary based on market conditions and opportunity.
