With alternative assets hurtling towards the $20 trillion mark, VanEck is offering investors a fresh opportunity to catch the private market wave — without taking a seat at the private equity table. 
The company today launched the VanEck Alternative Asset Manager ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPZ#NYSE">GPZ</a>), the first<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs"> U.S.-listed ETF</a> that provides broad exposure to publicly traded companies dedicated to private market investing.
From venture capital and private equity to real estate, infrastructure and private credit, alternative asset managers are transforming global finance.

&#8220;Volatility in the equity markets, the growing potential for rate cuts and a number of other factors appear to be converging, creating a far more favorable environment for many private market managers to deploy the massive reserves of capital they have accrued,&#8221; observed Brandon Rakszawski, VanEck vice president and director of Product Management. &#8220;That makes now a fascinating potential entry point for investing in the stocks of these firms themselves as they prepare to embark on a new cycle of deployment and growth.&#8221;
To be part of GPZ&#8217;s underlying index, the MarketVector Alternative Asset Managers Index, companies have to be &#8220;ultra-pure play&#8221; with 75% or more of revenues from private market business. The index is composed of publicly traded U.S., Canadian and developed European companies that meet certain market cap and liquidity screens, with a limit on individual company weights of 12%.
Top holdings at inception include industry giants such as Blackstone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>), Brookfield, KKR &amp; Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>), and Apollo Asset Management (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>), providing investors with exposure to the dominant participants in the alt asset boom.
Assets in alternative ownership rose from $7.4 trillion in 2014 to almost $19 trillion as of the close of 2024, fueled by investors&#8217; pursuit of yield, postponed IPO schedules and private credit&#8217;s growth.
GPZ is busily following a market that&#8217;s no longer quite so alternative anymore, just ever more necessary.

Apollo Global Management shares are trading lower amid sympathy with Wolfspeed after reports that the company is preparing for bankruptcy. Apollo Global Management, a creditor, previously helped finance Wolfspeed and may not get a full return on its investment.

Silicon carbide component manufacturer&nbsp;Wolfspeed Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WOLF#NYSE">WOLF</a>) is preparing to file for&nbsp;prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the coming weeks.
What Happened: Facing mounting debt and failed out-of-court restructuring talks with key creditors, the company is reportedly pursuing bankruptcy options, according to a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/wolfspeed-prepares-to-file-for-bankruptcy-within-weeks-7bd98040">report</a> from the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The company, which was expected to benefit from U.S. government efforts to expand domestic semiconductor production through the 2022 CHIPS Act, has struggled to address its $6.5 billion debt, including a $575 million balloon payment due in May 2026.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45532892/legendary-investor-jeremy-grantham-warns-of-50-stock-market-crash">Legendary Investor Jeremy Grantham Warns Of 50% Stock Market Crash</a>
Wolfspeed is aiming for a bankruptcy plan that would have the support of the majority of its creditors. This comes after rejecting a debtholder restructuring deal in March, following pushback from Apollo Global Management LLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>). 
The deal involved converting some of its convertible debt holdings and loans into equity, which would have diluted Apollo&#8217;s position.
Apollo, which owns $1.5 billion of Wolfspeed&#8217;s debt, sits on top of the company&#8217;s credit stack and has the right to approve any new secured financing deal. It also has a make-whole provision in its agreement, which essentially shields the PE firm from losses in the event of a bankruptcy, according <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/895419/000119312523174504/d462549d8k.htm">to</a> Wolfspeed&#8217;s SEC filings. 
Wolfspeed had previously said it was exploring restructuring or bankruptcy options after difficulties refinancing its debt threatened its ability to access up to $750 million in taxpayer funds through the CHIPS Act. That funding was contingent on the successful refinancing of convertible notes maturing in 2026, 2028, and 2029.
Both Wolfspeed and Apollo have yet to respond to Benzinga&#8217;s requests for a comment on this matter. The story will be updated once we hear back.
Why It Matters: During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45303071/wolfspeed-stock-slides-after-q3-revenues-miss-estimates-heres-what-to-know">third quarter results</a> two weeks ago, Wolfspeed outlined plans to strengthen its capital structure and improve its path to profitability.
The company recently hired an ex-Micron executive, Robert Feurle, as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44515658/wolfspeed-names-ex-micron-exec-feurle-as-ceo-to-revive-struggling-chipmaker">its new CEO</a>, who comes with several decades of semiconductor experience, to help in its turnaround efforts.
Price Action: Wolfspeed&#8217;s shares were down 10.32% on Tuesday, ending the day at $3.13 per share, and are down 60.38% after hours. The stock is down 52.79% year-to-date.

Wolfspeed Reportedly Prepping Bankruptcy Filing After Snubbing Debt Deals, Buckling Under $6.5 Billion Burden—Stock Plunges Over 60%

I got into the investment business on a steady diet of Graham and Whitman. But that was the 1980s and early 1990s – the golden age of dealmakers and junk bonds, leveraged buyouts and greenmail. 
Long before the players became gentlemanly private equity titans and activist investors, they were raiders, vultures, and even, in one famous book about the RJR deal, barbarians.
Legendary fortunes were made, reputations created and shattered.
All of these high-return, high-flying strategies shared a common thread. Leveraged buyouts, distressed investing and risk arb were all just variations on the value investing theme.
The private equity giants of today are still doing this. Thanks to their quarterly filings, you can copy their investment approach—a strategy that has beaten the markets 4-to-1 since 2001.
Even the creation of the junk bond market was based on Michael Milken&#8217;s studies on the returns from buying undervalued lower-rated bonds, a strategy founded on basic value investing principles.
The big winners in all these strategies took value investing and added debt.
It was like adding nitro to the tank of a stock car. If you could control the vehicle at high speed through the corners, there was no race you couldn&#8217;t win.
Although the golden age of risk arb and the smaller investors&#8217; ability to compete in distressed debt are all behind us, we can still use the combination of debt and value investing to beat the index by a wide margin.
When the 13F filings come out every quarter, most of the short-attention-spans in the market today head for the same filings at the same time.
Warren, Cathie, Stanley, Tepper and Seth still get all the attention.
I may get around to those at some point, but one of the first places I turn is to the leading private equity firms.
Firms like Apollo Global Management (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>), Blackstone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>) and KKR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>) still use basic principles of value investing along with a healthy dose of debt to drive massive returns for themselves and their investors.
What most people do not realize is that these firms also have large public securities portfolios, and stealing their ideas has created some massive market-beating opportunities.
If you had bought shares of Mr. Cooper (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COOP#NASDAQ">COOP</a>) when it first appeared in KKR&#8217;s public portfolio in 2018, you could have made almost ten times your money.
Buying shares of AppLovin (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>) when KKR first revealed its position would have resulted in gains of almost seven times your initial cost.
DoorDash (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>) would have delivered gains of 3x in just a few years.
Owning the firm&#8217;s top ten holdings since 2001 would have beaten the market by a 4-to-1 margin.
I do not care what the media darling investors bought last quarter. Tell me what the profit pirates at KKR own, and I can create an opportunity to score massive gains.
The current top ten holdings for KKR are:
BrightSpring Health Services (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTSG#NASDAQ">BTSG</a>) provides home and community-based health services to complex patients, positioning itself in a niche with long-term demographic tailwinds. The company is newly public and pursuing scale through both organic growth and targeted acquisitions in behavioral and specialty pharmacy segments.
Henry Schein (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSIC#NASDAQ">HSIC</a>) is a global distributor of dental and medical supplies primarily serving small- and mid-sized practices. The company generates stable cash flow and has a long history of disciplined capital deployment, though growth is modest and sensitive to procedure volume trends.
BrightView (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BV#NYSE">BV</a>) is the largest commercial landscaping services provider in the U.S., with recurring maintenance revenue making up the majority of its business. Under new leadership, the firm is undergoing a restructuring push to improve margins and reduce debt after years of underperformance.
KKR Real Estate Finance Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KREF#NYSE">KREF</a>) is a commercial mortgage REIT focused on senior loans backed by institutional-grade real estate, primarily in urban markets. It offers a high dividend yield but remains exposed to office market weakness and refinancing risk in a higher-rate environment.
Madison Square Garden Sports (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSGS#NYSE">MSGS</a>) owns marquee sports franchises, including the New York Knicks and Rangers, offering investors a rare asset-backed play on professional sports. Valuation is driven more by franchise appreciation than earnings power, making it a long-duration, event-driven asset.
Norwegian Cruise Line (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) is a leading cruise operator with a strong focus on premium and upscale offerings across its brand portfolio. The company is rebounding from pandemic-era disruptions, though it still carries significant leverage and remains sensitive to fuel and labor costs.
Bausch Health (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHC#NYSE">BHC</a>) is a diversified specialty pharmaceutical company with exposure to eye health, dermatology, and branded generics. However, the company is still burdened by high legacy debt. While it&#8217;s pursuing a turnaround strategy and asset divestitures, legal overhangs and weak cash flow remain headwinds.
FS KKR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSK#NYSE">FSK</a>) is one of the largest business development companies, focused on senior secured lending to middle-market companies with an emphasis on downside protection. It offers a double-digit yield and strong sponsor backing, though credit quality and NAV stability require close monitoring.
Crescent Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSGY#NYSE">CSGY</a>) is a cash-generating E&amp;P company with a private equity-backed structure and a focus on acquiring and optimizing mature, low-decline assets. The firm maintains a disciplined capital return framework and hedging strategy, making it a defensive upstream play with yield upside.
BridgeBio Pharma (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBIO#NASDAQ">BBIO</a>) is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company developing treatments for genetic diseases and cancers with clear genetic drivers. Its lead drug, Attruby (acoramidis), approved in late 2024 for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy, significantly outperformed sales expectations in its first full quarter, positioning the company as a strong competitor in the cardiomyopathy treatment market.

The latest round of the U.S.-China tariffs are "destructive" to American small businesses, investor and "Shark Tank" star <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43978834/kevin-oleary-says-government-needs-more-more-cutting-urges-slashing-and-hacking-to-fix-federal-spending">Kevin O'Leary</a> said on <a href="https://transcripts.cnn.com/show/cnc/date/2025-04-22/segment/04">CNN</a> on April 22.
His remarks come amid escalating trade tensions between the two countries. On April 9, the White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/modifying-reciprocal-tariff-rates-to-reflect-trading-partner-retaliation-and-alignment/">announced</a> a tariff hike on Chinese goods from 84% to 125%. The next day, China's Ministry of Commerce hit back with an 84% tariff on U.S. products.

He said, "So, I&#8217;m very happy that some administration, this one particularly, is taking them on to resolve this problem once and for all. And [Chinese President Xi Jinping] needs the U.S. and the U.S. needs Xi. So, let&#8217;s get this thing resolved. I&#8217;m OK with the volatility." He also urged policymakers to "circle the wagons" with U.S. allies.&nbsp;
O'Leary described the current market swings as a necessary step toward addressing what he called decades of imbalanced trade practices. He also proposed a 400% blanket tariff, emphasizing that "only shock therapy forces change."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs, Tensions And The Toll</h2>
O'Leary's frustration stems from firsthand experience. "I'm an example of someone who's really been screwed by the Chinese in IP. theft," he said, emphasizing a need to focus on policy over personality.

Household sentiment followed the headlines. The University of Michigan's <a href="https://www.sca.isr.umich.edu/">consumer sentiment index</a> showed its expectations index down 32% since January, while inflation expectations soared to 6.5%—the highest since 1981.&nbsp;

Markets echoed the anxiety.

'I'm OK With The Volatility' — Kevin O'Leary Defends Trump Tariffs And Urges U.S. To 'Circle The Wagons' Against China

Landsea Homes (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LSEA#NASDAQ">LSEA</a>) shares are trading higher on Tuesday. On Monday, the company inked a definitive deal to be acquired by Apollo Global Management, Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>) managed portfolio company of funds, New Home, for an enterprise value <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45362998/new-home-co-to-acquire-landsea-homes-corporation-creating-a-top-25-national-homebuilder" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">of around $1.2 billion</a>.
As per the deal, New Home will acquire Landsea Homes for $11.30 per share in an all-cash transaction.
This purchase price represents a premium of around 61% to Landsea Homes&#8217; closing share price on May 12, 2025, the last trading day before the announcement.

Upon completion of the transaction, Landsea Homes will become a privately held company, and its common stock will no longer be listed on Nasdaq.
This transaction is supported by Apollo Funds, the majority shareholder of New Home since 2021, who are committing $650 million of new cash equity to facilitate this credit-enhancing transaction and position the business for future growth.
The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Landsea Homes Board of Directors and is expected to close early in the third quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
Following the successful completion of the tender offer, New Home will acquire all remaining shares not tendered through a second-step merger at the same price.
The combined entity is expected to provide homebuyers with a wide array of housing choices, including single-family detached and attached homes, across rapidly expanding markets in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.
This combination will establish an asset-light, returns-focused homebuilder with nearly 4,000 annual closings.
John Ho, Chief Executive Officer of Landsea Homes said, &#8220;We believe this transaction with New Home will deliver immediate cash value to our stockholders at a significant premium and provide us with a strong, well-capitalized partner to accelerate our next phase of growth.&#8221;
In a separate release, Landsea reported first-quarter 2025 adjusted loss per share of 5 cents, exceeding the consensus estimate of 9 cents loss, while sales&nbsp;of $310.8 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45364862/landsea-homes-reports-first-quarter-2025-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">missed the Street view of&nbsp;$312 million</a>.
Price Action: LSEA shares are up 60.2% at $11.24 at the last check on Tuesday.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Apollo Global Management 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Apollo Funds To Acquire Hav Energy From HitecVision; Financial Terms Not Disclosed

Mark Rowan, CEO of Apollo Global Management (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>), has publicly disagreed with Warren Buffett&#8217;s perspective on tariffs and trade, viewing them as a strategic instrument rather than a &#8220;weapon&#8221;.
What Happened: &nbsp;During an interview with&nbsp;Yahoo Finance&nbsp;at the Milken Conference in California, Rowan expressed his contrasting views on trade and tariffs. Unlike Buffett, who warned against using trade as a &#8220;weapon&#8221;, Rowan sees tariffs as a tool that can be strategically effective. "There are smart tariffs and there are stupid tariffs," stated Rowan. According to the CEO, calling trade a &#8220;weapon&#8221; gives it a &#8220;political context&#8221;.
Rowan cautioned about the potential risks of imposing broad, high tariffs, such as&nbsp;the proposed 145% on Chinese&nbsp;imports. He warned that such measures could lead to significant harm for U.S. businesses, including possible retail bankruptcies. He also questioned the U.S.&#8217;s ability to endure prolonged trade disruptions without clear exemptions or phased implementation.
Rowan suggested a more cooperative approach to trade policy, proposing a North American economic bloc that would unite the U.S., Mexico, and Canada as a global powerhouse. He criticized recent U.S. policies that have introduced uncertainty and tarnished the nation&#8217;s global reputation.
&#8220;We introduced uncertainty and in the long term we actually damaged the U.S. brand by just moving precipitously moving in a non-choreographed way,&#8221; stated Rowan.

Why It Matters: Rowan&#8217;s comments come in the wake of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45184121/warren-buffett-warns-tariffs-could-backfire-on-economy-says-trade-should-not-be-a-weapon-its-a-big-mistake-i-dont-think-its-wise">Warren Buffett&#8217;s criticism</a>&nbsp;of the current administration&#8217;s trade policy at the annual shareholder meeting of&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>). Buffett warned that the imposition of punitive tariffs on global trade could backfire, labeling it a severe mistake.
Rowan&#8217;s differing views on tariffs and his bullish stance on America&#8217;s fundamentals are noteworthy. Meanwhile, Apollo Global Management has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/04/45119652/heres-how-much-you-would-have-made-owning-apollo-global-management-stock-in-the-last-5-years">outperformed </a>the market over the past five years by 13.11% on an annualized basis, producing an average annual return of 27.25%.
Although the Apollo CEO expresses concern over policy instability, Rowan remains confident in America&#8217;s core strengths, highlighting the nation&#8217;s competitive edge in infrastructure, semiconductor manufacturing, energy, and defense production.
&#8220;We&#8217;re seeing across the economy we&#8217;re seeing uncertainty we&#8217;re&#8230; seeing a slowdown that does not mean that cannot pick up again if we have certainty,&#8221; opined Rowan.
