Why ERShares?

XOVR - The Private-Public Crossover ETF

 

VC-Style Focus, ETF Structure*

 

The XOVR ETF applies a VC-style* research process to public innovators and adds a measured sleeve of private-company exposure all inside a single, liquid ETF. Exposure is reflected in fund NAV, avoiding the premiums that closed-end vehicles can sometimes trade at. Relaunched on Nasdaq on August 29, 2024, XOVR blends public and private equities in one ticker. This gives retail investors a seat at the table: ETF-based access to private-equity exposure historically limited to institutional and accredited investors. As of November 1, 2025, private exposure includes SpaceX and Anduril. Klarna has since become public, and XOVR was the first ETF to successfully demonstrate a proof-of-concept in delivering a pre-IPO position through to IPO. Holding and weights change over time.

 

Public + Private Companies in One ETF:

VC style* research drives selection with a measurect private sleeve.

Daily Liquidity:

One ticker (XOVR); trades like an ETF.

NAV-Based Pricing

Prices reflected in ETF NAV; no separate subscriptions or lockups.

 

Disclosure: Holdings are subject to changes without notice and are not recommendations. Private investment may be highly speculative, illiquid, and should only be considered by investors who can bear such risk for an indefinite period of time and can afford a complete loss of investment. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

The Entrepreneur Factor® is a bottom-up investment orientation that we believe stands above other investment factors such as momentum, sector, growth, value, leverage, market cap, and geographic orientation. Late-stage private companies are privately held firms that have moved beyond early growth phases and are approaching maturity, often with proven business models and substantial revenues but not yet publicly listed. PMF Velocity (Product-Market Fit Velocity) is the speed at which a startup moves toward achieving and strengthening product-market fit, reflecting how quickly it can validate strong market demand for its offering.

*VC (Venture Capital Style or Venture Style approach seeks out firms with high growth potential, typically smaller, innovative, or disruptive companies. The goal is to find a few big long-term winners that can deliver outsized gains within the public markets. For more than 30 years at Babson College, the number one school in Entrepreneurship education, Professor Joel Shulman, Ph.D., CFA, conducted academic research that led to the creation of the "Entrepreneur Factor."

This framework is grounded in a venture capital (VC) style investing model applied to public equities. Because the term entrepreneur is not formally defined or classified within traditional financial databases such as Bloomberg, Capital IQ, or FactSet, Professor Shulman developed a proprietary system to replicate how venture capitalists evaluate and invest in private companies, but within the public markets.

Initially, he identified 15 attributes that capture the essence of entrepreneurial success, mirroring the criteria a venture capitalist would apply when assessing early-stage companies. These include factors such as founder and leadership quality, CEO background, team strength, ownership and economic incentives, revenue growth trajectory, market potential, innovation capacity, and capital discipline.

Backed by more than 25 academic articles and publications, his framework provides an empirically tested foundation for quantifying the entrepreneurial qualities that drive long-term performance. By embedding these 15 venture-style characteristics into ERShares public company selection process, he effectively recreated the VC investment model inside a liquid, public-market framework. This methodology defines ERShares VC-style approach to investing-one that emphasizes entrepreneurial leadership, high-growth potential, and innovation-driven value creation. It remains the foundation of ERShares investment philosophy and a unique differentiator in their overall investment thesis.
