Franklin Templeton launches new metaverse ETF for european investors

It will be managed by Dina Ting, Head of Global Index Portfolio Management, and Lorenzo Crosato, ETF Portfolio Manager at Franklin Templeton

Franklin Templeton launches its new UCITS ETF, offering European investors access to cutting-edge companies across the metaverse. (Time for the metaverse?)

The metaverse is a forward-looking, shared virtual and mixed reality, powered by digital technologies. As an interactive and immersive space, the metaverse is expected to influence many aspects of people’s lives – including how they interact, socialise, learn, shop, work and play virtually. It combines aspects of social media, online gaming and augmented virtual reality and is widely regarded as the next iteration of the internet as we currently know it, merging our digital lives seamlessly.

“Society has already experienced three foundational changes in the way that technology operates and how it’s been delivered since the early 1970s. This exciting fourth wave is now emerging, enabled by blockchain technology. Many big tech companies have already pivoted towards the metaverse for their next major area of development in the same way that many did at the inception of the internet. There appear to be tremendous real-world business opportunities for investment in this space considering that by 2030, the e- commerce market could grow between $2.0–$2.6 trillion. Blockchain technology development is propelling metaverse expansion possibilities in compelling and far- reaching ways. We believe that investment in the metaverse and its rising sophistication bode well for the next iteration of the internet, which could profoundly impact societies and global economic growth.”

Dina Ting, Head of Global Index Portfolio Management, Franklin Templeton

The Franklin Metaverse UCITS ETF tracks the Solactive Global Metaverse Innovation Net Total Return Index comprised of global equity securities issued by companies that have, or are expected to have, significant exposure to the metaverse and supporting blockchain technologies. Companies that are deemed to not align with UN Global Compact Principles are excluded from the index.

This new ETF will list on the Deutsche Börse Xetra (XETRA) on 7 September, and the Borsa Italiana and London Stock Exchange (LSE) on 9 September. The ETF will be registered in the UK, Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain and Sweden. It will be managed by Dina Ting, Head of Global Index Portfolio Management, and Lorenzo Crosato, ETF Portfolio Manager at Franklin Templeton.

“The metaverse is expected to grow to $5 trillion in value by 2030 and, to capture this exciting growth opportunity, we have partnered with German-based index provider Solactive AG to develop a distinct ETF backed by the scale and resources of Franklin Templeton. Headquartered in the heart of innovation, Silicon Valley, our firm is a leader in thematic and technology investing. We are delighted to be an early mover in this space and thus provide European investors with access to a diversified pool of cutting-edge companies across the key metaverse segments at a low cost. The new ETF allows investors to diversify their core holdings and satellite thematic sleeves in their existing portfolios with a unique exposure and participate in the expected secular growth of the underlying megatrend that is digitisation.”

Caroline Baron, Head of ETF Business Development, EMEA, Franklin Templeton

Competitive fees

The ETF will provide European investors with cost-efficient, UCITS-compliant metaverse exposure and the lowest total expense ratios (TER) at 0.30% in Europe (TER is on average 50% lower than other metaverse UCITS ETFs).

The Franklin LibertyShares™ platform enables investors to pursue their desired outcomes through a range of active, smart beta and passive ETFs. Supported by the strength and resources of one of the world’s largest asset managers, the global ETF platform has more than $12 billion in assets under management globally as of 31 August 2022.
