NEO is proud to welcome Fidelity Investments Canada ULC (“Fidelity”) back to the NEO Exchange with the launch of the Fidelity Total Metaverse Index ETF, an equity strategy now available for trading under the symbol FMTV.
Designed to provide access to the companies that are expected to drive the development of the virtual universe, FMTV leverages Fidelity’s respected approach to index design, including their vast global network and extensive research capabilities.
FMTV seeks to replicate the performance of the Fidelity Canada Total Metaverse Index. The ETF invests primarily in equity securities of issuers from around the world that develop, manufacture, distribute, and sell products and/or services related to establishing and enabling the metaverse, including digital payment processing and cryptocurrency-related industries, which aim to support the digital economy of the metaverse.
“We’re excited to launch our new Fidelity Total Metaverse Index ETF, which offer investors exposure to various aspects of the metaverse, digital payments, and cryptocurrency industries,” commented Kelly Creelman, Senior Vice President, Products & Marketing at Fidelity. “Investors and advisors are looking for differentiated investment solutions to help them meet their investing goals. Fidelity has been expanding its ETF lineup with solutions in many different asset classes.”
The Fidelity Total Metaverse Index ETF joins 5 other NEO-listed ETFs, including 4 All-in-One ETFs and the Fidelity Sustainable World Equity ETF. Investors can trade shares of all NEO-listed Fidelity ETFs through their usual investment channels, including discount brokerage platforms and full-service dealers.
“The emergence of the Metaverse has unleashed a virtual world of possibilities, and Fidelity is at the forefront of providing access to never-before-seen investment opportunities in the space,” remarked Jos Schmitt, President and CEO of NEO. “As Canada’s Tier 1 exchange for the innovation economy, NEO is the ideal listing partner for FMTV, and we are honoured to provide the platform that brings this future-forward product to investors.”
