Fount Metaverse ETF (MTVR) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, generally correspond to the performance of the Fount Metaverse Index, a modified market-cap-weighted index tracking globally-listed companies involved in metaverse technologies including augmented reality, virtual worlds, life log, and mirror world applications. The ETF offers exposure to firms that develop, manufacture, distribute, or sell metaverse-related products and services, such as hardware chips, networking infrastructure, and bandwidth solutions; its portfolio currently consists primarily of cash equivalents alongside nominal holdings in select international equities like VK Co Ltd and Yandex NV. Managed by Exchange Traded Concepts LLC with Fount Investment Co., Ltd. as index provider, the fund targets investors seeking thematic exposure to the projected $800 billion metaverse market opportunity.
Launched on October 27, 2021, and listed on NYSE Arca, the ETF is headquartered in alignment with its adviser in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with operations spanning global markets through its underlying index constituents in regions including North America, Europe, and Asia. The fund maintains an expense ratio of 0.70%, with assets under management of approximately $4.39 million and around 250,000 shares outstanding as of mid-2023. It underwent a significant operational shift in June 2023 when adviser Exchange Traded Concepts announced the closure and liquidation of the fund, reflecting strategic realignment amid low assets and market conditions; however, shares continued trading into 2025 at around $17.53 per share with negligible volume. No recent partnerships, funding rounds, acquisitions, or new product launches have been reported for the ETF, which now primarily holds cash pending further developments.
