MN ETF’s filing targets six companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic, giving retail investors a proposed route to indirect exposure to private AI firms ordinarily off-limits to everyday buyers.

Key Takeaways

  • MN ETF filed to offer indirect exposure to six companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Nvidia, Alphabet and SpaceX

  • OpenAI and Anthropic are not publicly traded, preventing ordinary investors from buying their equity directly on an exchange

  • MANGOS may use secondary-market stakes, special-purpose vehicles or related public securities within a single tradable ticker

  • MN’s filing is not approval, and regulators will scrutinize private-holding valuation, liquidity, net asset value and redemption mechanics

A Tuesday release said the fund’s name, MANGOS, is built from the first letters of its six target companies, which also include Nvidia (NVDA), Alphabet (GOOGL) and SpaceX. Because OpenAI and Anthropic have not gone public, ordinary investors cannot buy their equity directly on any exchange.

MN’s structure is designed to route indirect exposure, likely through secondary-market stakes, special-purpose vehicles or related public securities, into a single tradable ticker instead.

“OpenAI and Anthropic are companies in AI, yet neither is publicly traded, ordinarily putting them out of reach for everyday investors,” the filing said, describing MN’s design as meant “to close” that gap.

Why Private AI Exposure Has Become A Retail Obsession

OpenAI’s last disclosed private valuation and Anthropic’s own funding rounds have run into the hundreds of billions combined, yet neither company has filed for a public listing. That has pushed demand into secondary markets, where shares trade informally among existing investors and employees, often at prices retail buyers cannot access directly.

Products like MN echo earlier funds that packaged pre-IPO stakes in companies such as SpaceX for broader distribution before its public listing earlier this year.

The Regulatory Test This Filing Still Faces

MN’s filing is not an approval.

Its proposed exposure depends on private-company stakes or related securities that may not trade as easily or carry prices as transparent as public shares.

For the valuations implied by those holdings to make sense, the fund would need a methodology that can support its net asset value and redemption process when private stakes cannot be priced or sold as easily as public shares.

Regulators will scrutinize those mechanics, while the eventual expense ratio will help determine whether MN becomes a meaningful vehicle or a niche product.
