Franklin Templeton’s Dina Ting on the sphere of influence: How to not miss the metaverse and ETFs

There is once again growing interest in the world of the metaverse as technological advancements and innovative strategies in different sectors have continued to show progress. Dina Ting, Franklin Templeton’s Head of Global Index Portfolio Management, explores this new digital landscape and the opportunities it presents. She also discusses practical applications, including immersive entertainment and luxury brand experiences.

Ever since ChatGPT and all things artificial intelligence (AI) began dominating headlines, the term “metaverse” seems to have slipped out of the spotlight. But the recent debut of the stunning US$2.3 billion Sphere venue in Las Vegas, christened by U2’s latest live concert series, seems an appropriate reminder of the ongoing evolution of immersive ecosystems (as well as the allure of FOMO—“fear of missing out”—on new trends).

The eye-popping arena—tall enough to fit the entirety of the Statue of Liberty inside it—boasts a communal virtual reality (VR) experience without the need for goggles. The giant orb’s exterior features the world’s largest (58,000 square feet) fully programmable LED screen and an interior space that U2’s guitarist, the Edge, has described as a “quantum leap forward” in revolutionizing live entertainment.

Equipped with haptic seats that vibrate to match not only scenes being displayed but also next-level audio, the venue engages all senses with wind, temperature and even scent effects that can leave guests feeling as though they are outdoors or even in outer space.

The Sphere’s enormous scale might be particularly Vegas-esque, but it’s the latest harbinger of our new immersive entertainment era. Investors eyeing the still-early stages of metaverse development find appeal in the array of pioneering content formats and related technology to solve for constraints such as that of conventional imaging and filmmaking for spaces with vast ultra-high-resolution displays. Creators of the Sphere are even collaborating with the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on media innovation.

Global adoption of 3D holographic imaging and LED displays is surging as companies continue to develop new ways to blur the line between virtual and physical. The global LED display market, worth at US$15 billion in 2022, is estimated to grow to US$23 billion by 2030.1

During this year’s Meta Connect conference, CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled new AI tools—such as Max the sous chef—and reiterated to attendees that “soon the physical and digital will come together in what we call the metaverse.”

Luxury brands, including Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana, have also been keen to invest in immersive metaverse strategies. Some involve new modes of personalized services, brand interaction and experiences to enhance loyalty for customers or seamless and creative collaboration for employees as well as leveraging virtual worlds to improve corporate operational efficiencies.

Since Louis Vuitton first partnered with Riot Games four years ago to create skins for avatars, a number of high-profile design events have launched, such as Metaverse Fashion Week. Last fall, Italian fashion house Gucci appointed a head of metaverse role, and around the same time, luxury watchmaker Rolex made moves into the metaverse, filing trademark applications in the realms of cryptocurrency and the non-fungible tokens market.

No doubt there are many initiatives that will struggle in this emerging space, which is why investors may prefer to use rules-based ETF strategies to capture the optimal metaverse exposure. Tracking such indexes can offer an advantage in that they automatically adjust portfolios to include select companies on the forefront of this new digital landscape. We continue to believe opportunities to revolutionize our digital interactions across sectors and industries are immense, and the solutions these new technologies will offer will drive demand.

JGBL ETF är en aktivt förvaltad portfölj av aktier i globala företag

Redaktionen

Janus Henderson Global Research-Engineered Equity Active Core UCITS ETF USD Acc (JGBL ETF) med ISIN IE000Y3FZEN4, strävar efter att överträffa indexreferensvärdet på lång sikt genom att investera i en aktivt förvaltad portfölj av aktier och/eller depåbevis utfärdade av globala företag.

Den nuvarande tillgångsstorleken är 8 miljoner USD. Den börshandlade fonden är aktivt förvaltad.

Den börshandlade fondens TER (total expense ratio) uppgår till 0,30 % per år. ETFen replikerar det underliggande indexets resultat fysiskt. Utdelningarna i ETFen ackumuleras och återinvesteras.

Denna ETF lanserades den 21 oktober 2025 och har sitt säte på Irland.

Investeringsprocess

Fonden kommer att investera minst 80 % av sina tillgångar i aktier eller depåbevis utfärdade av globala företag på utvecklade marknader. Den kan också investera upp till 15 % av sina tillgångar i aktier och/eller depåbevis från företag på tillväxtmarknader.

Fonden kan investera i företag av alla storlekar inom alla branscher. Den kommer vanligtvis att ha 125–275 innehav (och förväntas inte ha färre än 125 innehav).

Fonden kan också inneha kontanter. Den kan använda derivat i syfte att säkra/riskreducera.

Fonden kan tillfälligt investera utanför dessa riktlinjer vid hantering av teckningar, inlösen, för likviditetshantering eller i defensiva syften, inklusive att navigera i ovanliga marknadsförhållanden.

Investeringsmål

ETFen kombinerar expertinsikter från Janus Hendersons analysteam med benchmarkmedveten portföljkonstruktion. Våra mycket erfarna analytiker utför djupgående fundamental forskning och samarbetar i stor utsträckning inom sina sektorteam för att generera investeringsinsikter. Dessa insikter matas in i en portföljoptimeringsprocess som är utformad för att betona aktieurval och minimera oavsiktlig risk. Processen innefattar även robusta ESG-exkluderingar och en allokering på minst 15 % till hållbara investeringar (SFDR artikel 8). Resultatet är en diversifierad och i stort sett sektorneutral portfölj, med ett mål för spårningsfel på 1,25–1,75 % i förhållande till MSCI World Index.

Handla JGBL ETF

Janus Henderson Global Research-Engineered Equity Active Core UCITS ETF USD Acc (JGBL ETF) är en europeisk börshandlad fond (ETF) som handlas på Xetra.

Det betyder att det går att handla andelar i denna ETF genom de flesta svenska banker och Internetmäklare, till exempel Nordnet, SAVR, DEGIRO och Avanza.
