XOVR was structured as the first ETF designed to provide private-company exposure through an underlying special purpose vehicle ("SPV") framework reflected in daily NAV alongside public equities,* within a regulated ETF structure. As the pioneer of this ETF structure, ERShares has refined the framework over time to improve efficiency, durability, and investor clarity. Given the complexity of private-exposure structures, ERShares is issuing this clarification to address potential and reported misinterpretations of the investment structure and ensure the fee treatment is understood as described in the Fund's disclosures. ERShares encourages readers to review primary source disclosures and to consider independence and disclosure standards that apply to third-party commentary on complex product structures.
