<h2>Invesco Metaverse Fund</h2>
The global <a href="https://www.invesco.com/corporate/en/home.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">asset management company</a> Invesco announced the formation of an investment fund targeted at enterprises in the metaverse. About $30 million will be invested in major, medium, and small-cap enterprises along the Metaverse Value Chain.

The fund will invest in businesses in Asia, Europe, and the USA, including shares of firms engaged in the development and utilization of immersive virtual worlds. James McDermottroe, a deputy fund manager, and Tony Roberts, a fund manager, will each oversee a portion of it.

Fund Manager Tony Roberts said,
<blockquote><em>"While the metaverse's applications to entertainment are increasingly well understood, the interconnectivity that it enables will likely have a transformative impact across industries as diverse as healthcare, logistics, education, and sports. We will seek to capitalize on these opportunities through a highly selective, valuation-conscious approach."</em></blockquote>
<h2>Investment in 7 Thematic Areas of Industry</h2>
The fund will invest in seven industry-related theme areas:
<ul>
 	<li>Hardware and devices that provide access to the Metaverse</li>
 	<li>Next-generation operating and computer systems</li>
 	<li>Immersive platforms developed with artificial intelligence</li>
 	<li>Networks for hyperconnectivity</li>
 	<li>Interchange tools necessary to bring about interoperability</li>
 	<li>Services and assets that will facilitate the digitization of the real economy</li>
 	<li>Blockchain</li>
</ul>
The MSCI AC World (Net Total Return) benchmark will be used to evaluate the fund's performance, which will be assessed at a management fee of 0.75%.
