Virtual worlds, real opportunities.
The Metaverse and AI: what are they and why they matter
Imagine a world where you can be anywhere at anytime – a virtual world that feels remarkably real, and yet, limited only by your imagination. Welcome to the Metaverse thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), where the physical and virtual worlds collide.
This isn't science fiction. Much of the technology needed for us to experience these virtual realities already exist, and more will be developed over the coming years. Widely seen as the next big thing since the internet, it has the potential to change how we live, work and invest.
Investing in the Metaverse thanks to AI
We believe the Metaverse and Artificial Intelligence offer a wealth of investment opportunities. Let our experts tell you why.
Invesco Metaverse and AI Fund: virtual worlds, real opportunities
The Invesco Metaverse and AI Fund seeks to invest in companies that help facilitate, create or benefit from the metaverse – a network of highly immersive virtual worlds for consumers and enterprises alike. It will typically hold 30 to 50 stocks, diversified across the metaverse value chain.
Renaming of the Invesco Metaverse Fund to Invesco Metaverse and AI Fund as of 18.01.2024. The fund is not managed with reference to a benchmark index. The investment relates to the acquisition of units in an actively managed fund and not in a specific underlying asset. The Fund aims to achieve long-term capital growth. The Fund intends to achieve its objective by investing primarily in a concentrated portfolio of global equities issued by companies that the Investment Manager believes are aligned with the growth of the metaverse, underpinned by developments in artificial intelligence, helping to enable, create or benefit from immersive virtual worlds for both consumers and businesses.
Investment risks
For complete information on risks, refer to the legal documents. The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested.
The fund may invest in certain securities listed in China which can involve significant regulatory constraints that may affect the liquidity and/or the investment performance of the fund. The fund invests in a limited number of holdings and is less diversified. This may result in large fluctuations in the value of the fund. As this fund is invested in a particular sector, you should be prepared to accept greater fluctuations in the value of the fund than for a fund with a broader investment mandate. As a portion of the Fund may be exposed to less developed countries, you should be prepared to accept large fluctuations in the value of the Fund
