PR Newswire (US) ERShares Adds Approximately $35 Million to the SpaceX exposure stake in XOVR, Its Private-Public Crossover ETF; Total SpaceX Exposure Now Approximately $281 Million Ahead of What Could Be a Blockbuster SpaceX IPOKey HighlightsXOVR has added approximately $35 million to its SpaceX position.Total SpaceX exposure: approximately $281 million, about 23% of Fund assets, based on recent AUM.The Fund's SpaceX position has generated approximately $41 million in appreciation over the past month, creating accretive value for XOVR shareholders.XOVR is the first crossover ETF to provide private-equity access.SpaceX exposure is obtained through an effective 0/0 SPV (zero management fee, zero performance fee) inside a registered ETF wrapper.Before adding to its SpaceX SPV exposure, the fund put in place a liquidity arrangement that meets regulatory requirements.NEW YORK, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ERShares today announced that its Private-Public Crossover ETF (NASDAQ: XOVR) has added approximately $35 million in additional exposure to its SpaceX position. With the new purchase, XOVR's total SpaceX exposure is approximately $281 million, about 23% of Fund assets as of 5/20/2026. Importantly, the Fund's existing SpaceX position has already generated approximately $41 million in appreciation over the past month for the benefit of XOVR shareholders, reflecting the accretive impact of the position on Fund performance during the period.The position is held through an effective 0/0 SPV (zero management fee, zero performance fee at the SPV level) inside XOVR's registered ETF structure. XOVR was the first ETF* to add private-equity exposure. The increase comes as investor interest builds around what is anticipated to be the premier IPO of this generation, and likely the largest IPO ever."We set out to create a novel structure that creates value for retail investors," said Joel Shulman, Ph.D., CFA, CIO of ERShares and Portfolio Manager of XOVR. "Until XOVR, exposure to companies like SpaceX was structurally out of reach for the everyday investor. We changed that."The VC Lens Behind XOVR's SpaceX PositionERShares' proprietary Venture Capital ("VC") lens, refined over more than 20 years, screens public and private companies for category-defining characteristics. The framework was born in the private market by studying how venture-capital investors invest, then applying the same criteria to public equities. ERShares invests like a VC with a long horizon, so adding private-equity exposure to XOVR was a natural extension of the framework. SpaceX exposure is XOVR's first private company position, and ERShares intends to hold for the long term.The same framework, anchored on the public side by the ERShares 30 Total Return Index (ER30TR), also identified the majority of the "Magnificent 7" well before they earned the label: Nvidia and Amazon in 2005, and Google, Tesla, and Meta as they became public. (Past performance is not indicative of future results, and there is no assurance that SpaceX will deliver comparable outcomes.) While the Fund is not an index ETF, the Fund generally invests in the companies that are in the ER30TR or seeks exposure to them.The Three-Engine Empire: Why ERShares Chose SpaceX as XOVR's First Private Position and Largest WeightERShares views SpaceX as one of the few companies on the planet with a durable, structural moat, the kind ERShares' proprietary VC lens screened for. SpaceX clears that bar across what the firm describes as a "Three-Engine Empire":Launch and Space Transportation: SpaceX's foundational franchise.Starlink: SpaceX's global satellite broadband network.AI-Related Infrastructure: the data transmission and connectivity layers the firm believes are emerging across SpaceX's platform."We don't chase hype. Conviction comes from our proprietary research, not consensus. It's no longer just a rocket company; it's a three-engine empire, and each engine has its own moat," said Eva Ados, COO and Chief Investment Strategist of ERShares, echoing comments she recently made on CNBC. "Launch is the foundation, Starlink is the global connectivity layer, and the AI-related infrastructure built on top is the next leg of compounding. That combination is what, in our view, makes SpaceX likely the most consequential IPO the public markets have ever seen."About XOVR and ERShares

XOVR ETF Offers Pre-IPO SpaceX ExposureMarch 30, 2026 8:32 AM
PR Newswire (US)
With SpaceX reportedly evaluating a confidential IPO at a valuation approaching $1.75 trillion, ERShares highlights XOVR's role as a regulated, listed vehicle for accessing late-stage private marketsNEW YORK, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recent reports indicate that SpaceX may be evaluating a confidential IPO filing, with widely discussed valuations approaching $1.75 trillion — a figure that would rank it among the largest public offerings in history. The XOVR ETF (ERShares Private-Public Crossover ETF) provides investors with SpaceX exposure and access to other select late-stage private companies, within a listed fund structure that requires no accredited-investor status. As demand for late-stage private market access continues to accelerate, XOVR offers a differentiated framework for investors seeking exposure, though any SpaceX IPO plans remain subject to change and are out of the control of ERShares.
I. XOVR: Structure, Exposure, and AccessFor decades, access to transformative private companies, including SpaceX, has been largely limited to sovereign wealth funds, large institutions, and ultra-high-net-worth investors. XOVR was developed to provide a more accessible framework within a regulated ETF structure.Public equity foundation: Core allocation to the ER30TR Index, a proprietary basket of 30 U.S. large-cap, venture-capital-informed companies selected for innovation and long-term growthPrivate market exposure: Approximately $205 million in SpaceX exposure as of March 25, 2026, held through a structured Special Purpose Vehicle ("SPV") designed without ongoing management fee or carried interest, alongside selective exposure to other late-stage private companies including Anduril. Exposure levels may change.Exchange Listing: Nasdaq listingAccess: No minimums and no accredited-investor requirementERShares has built a high-conviction position in SpaceX exposure as part of its broader strategy to capture value creation in late-stage private markets prior to potential public listings.II. Verified Operational RecordThe following reflects information drawn from publicly filed SEC documents, official ERShares materials, and regulatory disclosures:Fee disclosure: All fund expenses, including those associated with the private market sleeve, have been disclosed in accordance with applicable SEC requirements and made publicly available through formal filingsHoldings transparency: XOVR holdings are disclosed on a regular basis consistent with regulatory requirements. Following a routine administrator transition on January 19, 2026, holdings data remains accessible to market participants and data providersNAV calculation: The fund calculates and publishes net asset value daily, consistent with standard ETF practices and regulatory guidelinesPrivate market valuation: Differences between external private market indications reported in the press and XOVR reported portfolio valuations reflect structural considerations, timing, portfolio weighting, transaction costs, and valuation methodologyRegulatory filings: All required disclosures are filed with the SEC and available through standard public channelsInvestors should evaluate the fund through official SEC filings, portfolio disclosures, and fund materials available at ershares.com.III. Market Context and Research StandardsERShares welcomes rigorous, independent evaluation of complex investment products. Investors, however, should evaluate XOVR through official SEC filings, portfolio disclosures, and fund materials rather than incomplete or misleading third-party characterizations.Over a twelve-month period, one analyst published more than 120 posts, articles, and podcast appearances targeting XOVR, a significant number of which ERShares believes materially misstate the fund's disclosures, structure, or operations. To protect investors and the integrity of the public record, ERShares has taken formal action to address statements it believes materially misstate the fund's disclosures, structure, or operations. Professor Joel Shulman, Ph.D., CFA, has filed a formal complaint with the CFA Institute Professional Conduct Division, and ERShares has retained Meier Watkins Phillips Pusch, a Washington, D.C. defamation law firm, which has transmitted formal correspondence to Morningstar, Inc. and the relevant analyst. ERShares will act where necessary to ensure that commentary relied upon by investors is measured against the public record."When an analyst publishes an outsized volume of commentary focused on a single fund — around Valentine's Day, New Year's Eve, Christmas Eve — that is not analysis. That is something else entirely. Our investors made a deliberate decision to participate in a differentiated investment structure. The facts, the disclosures, and the underlying thesis support that decision."— Eva Ados — Chief Investment Strategist & COO, ERShares ABOUT ERSHARESERShares LLC is an investment adviser and sub-adviser to the XOVR ETF (ERShares Private-Public Crossover ETF), a strategy designed to provide exposure to both public equities and select late-stage private companies within an exchange-traded framework.
