The ERShares Private-Public Crossover ETF (XOVR) was built as a trailblazing strategy, the first to combine private and public equity in one ETF.  Eva Ados, Chief Investment Strategist and Chief Operating Officer at ERShares, shares that journey on the latest episode of Behind the Tickerwith host Brad Roth.

XOVR is a first-of-its-kind ETF, blending 85% public stocks with a 15% slice of private companies like SpaceX and Rocket Lab. It's built on ERShares' Entrepreneur Factor", the same framework that spotted Nvidia back in 2005 at $5 a share.

ERShares actually turned down over $1 billion in institutional creation flows right before the SpaceX IPO, real money they walked away from to protect retail investors. That's part of a broader shareholder protection plan that also includes a 2% fee on large institutional orders designed to stop arbitrage dilution.

The results speak for themselves: XOVR jumped roughly 27.5% in Q2 2026, and AUM exploded from $400 million to $2.2 billion in a single quarter. Eva Ados underscores the organic nature of the flows, driven by long-term retail buyers, not institutional games.

XOVR isn't just a SpaceX play: It's a category-leader fund hunting for the next Nvidia across any industry. Ados's favorite heuristic for spotting real AI winners? Revenue per employee, where Nvidia clocks in at $4.5-5.5 million versus the S&P 500's $650K average.
