Corgi Invest Launches MANGOS ETF: Retail Access to OpenAI and Anthropic

Corgi Invest has launched the MANGOS ETF (MN), an actively managed fund providing retail investors with unprecedented access to private artificial intelligence leaders OpenAI and Anthropic. By utilizing total return swaps, the fund bypasses traditional accreditation requirements, allowing everyday traders to gain exposure to the primary drivers of the generative AI boom alongside established tech giants.

What was announced

The Corgi MANGOS ETF (MN) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund designed to bridge the gap between private venture capital and public markets. The "MANGOS" acronym represents the six core holdings targeted by the fund: Meta Platforms, Anthropic, NVIDIA, Alphabet (Google), OpenAI, and SpaceX. While the public components are accessible via standard exchanges, MN provides exposure to OpenAI and Anthropic through cash-settled total return swaps rather than direct share purchases.

These private-company swaps offer one-for-one exposure without a leveraged return multiplier and are initially priced with reference to perpetual futures contracts linked to the respective companies. To manage liquidity risks, the combined exposure to OpenAI and Anthropic is limited to 15% of the fund’s net assets at the time of investment, consistent with the fund's liquidity risk management program. Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities or financial instruments, including total return swaps, that provide economic exposure to these six companies.

Unlike traditional private equity vehicles, the MN fund requires no accreditation and has no private-fund lockup periods, trading like any other ETF through standard brokerage accounts. The fund began trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange on October 2, 2026, and carries a total annual operating expense ratio of 0.20%. Portfolio weightings are determined through active management rather than index replication.

"For years, exposure to OpenAI and Anthropic has been reserved for venture investors and insiders. MN puts that exposure inside a wrapper investors already know how to use a standard, exchange-traded fund, bought and sold like any other ETF, with no lockups and no accreditation requirement."

The companies involved

Corgi Invest is the brand name for Corgi Strategies, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser established in 2025. The firm focuses on building actively managed ETFs that target concentrated, high-conviction themes for the retail market. As of June 30, 2026, Corgi Strategies managed approximately $821 million in assets. The fund’s private targets, OpenAI and Anthropic, are the primary challengers in the frontier AI space. OpenAI is the developer behind ChatGPT and remains a leader in frontier AI research, while Anthropic, a privately held AI safety company, is known for its Claude family of models.

The inclusion of SpaceX provides a unique angle, as the fund gains exposure to launch services and Starlink, as well as the AI and social media interests held through SpaceX’s ownership of xAI and X. These private entities are paired with "Magnificent Seven" staples like NVIDIA, the dominant provider of GPUs and AI computing infrastructure, and Alphabet and Meta, which lead in search, cloud, and social media. This combination allows the fund to balance highly illiquid private exposure with some of the most liquid stocks in the global market.

What this means

This launch signals a significant shift in the democratization of venture-scale returns, putting traditional private equity and venture capital firms under pressure to justify their high fees and lockup periods. By using total return swaps to bypass accreditation, Corgi Invest is testing the regulatory boundaries of retail exposure to "unicorn" valuations. However, the reliance on cash-settled swaps rather than direct equity raises questions about tracking error and counterparty risk during periods of high volatility. For the fintech sector, this fund validates the "MANGOS" basket as a new benchmark for AI-driven growth, forcing legacy asset managers to reconsider how they package private-market innovation for the public.
