What is VPC?

The Fund strives to deliver an alternative source of yield to traditional fixed income by focusing on the private credit market. The Fund seeks to track the Indxx Private Credit Index, which provides passive exposure to listed instruments that emphasize private credit, including business development companies (BDCs) and closed-end funds (CEFs). As commercial banks have moved away from financing small-to-mid-sized U.S. companies, private lenders have become a burgeoning capital solution, offering exposure to generally below-investment grade or unrated private debt, which carries higher yields and more volatility than traditional corporate bonds.
