METV

METV holds equities, selected by a committee composed of subject matter experts, which fall under their definition of Metaverse — the next iteration of the internet. The committee uses information such as patent filings, third-party usage data and metrics, scientific and technology updates, executive presentations and consumer interviews in mapping out companies that interact or enable the Metaverse. The committee identified seven categories: Hardware, Compute, Networking, Virtual Platforms, Interchange Standards, Payments, and Content, Assets and Identity Services. These categories are capped at 25%. The index is tiered-weighted into Pure-play, Core and Non-Core, giving overweight to Pure-plays wherein it receives 2.5x of Core's initial weight, Core companies receive 2x the initial weight of Non-cores. These weights are adjusted by the numbers of companies in each category during quarterly rebalance to ensure a 100% combined weight. Prior to Jan. 31, 2022, the fund traded under the ticker META.
