GTPE vs XOVR

GTPEAGoldman Sachs MSCI World Private Equity Return Tracker ETF

XOVRBERShares Private-Public Crossover ETF

In short

GTPE Private equity returns, minus the lockup. GTPE tracks an MSCI index that rebuilds buyout-style return patterns out of public developed-market stocks, so the exposure trades on an exchange instead of sitting in a locked-up partnership.

XOVR A regular brokerage account, a slice of SpaceX. XOVR wraps about 30 public growth names around select late-stage private stakes held through special-purpose vehicles, with no accredited-investor hoops. Fee: 1.81%, no waiver.

Stated mandate

GTPE The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the MSCI World Private Equity Return Tracker Index (Net, USD, Unhedged).

XOVR The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through a broader crossover strategy combining public equities with select private-company exposure.

Why people hold it

• GTPE Peers like PSP and GPZ own listed buyout shops and alt managers. GTPE goes wider: roughly 1,600 developed-market stocks tilted to growth, value, momentum and low volatility.
• 0.50% a year sits at the low end of the listed private-markets shelf, where the long-running incumbent PSP charges 1.80%.
• A plain 1940 Act ETF holding public equities: trades any market day, no capital calls, no lockup, no accreditation requirement.

• XOVR Roughly 30 listed growth names plus stakes in late-stage private companies like SpaceX, held through special-purpose vehicles inside a 1940 Act ETF.prnewswire.com
• No accredited-investor status, capital calls or lockups. Private-market access arrives in a brokerage account, which is the structure's whole reason to exist.prnewswire.com
• 1.81%, no waiver. Steep next to index funds, yet below the median for listed private-markets funds, a category where BIZD's 9.69% marks the high end.
• A billion-dollar-plus fund that trades actively, unusual for a niche thematic strategy, and listed since 2017.

Worth knowing

• GTPE A proxy, not the real thing. You own public stocks selected to echo private equity's return pattern, not stakes in private companies.
• Launched in October 2025 and still small and thinly traded, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads and a short record to judge it on.
• Developed markets only. Private-market activity in emerging economies sits outside the mandate.

• XOVR Private stakes have no closing price. They are marked by the fund's valuation process and can reprice on a funding round or an IPO rather than day to day.
• About 30 holdings, with the private sleeve concentrated in a single name, so one company's mark can move the fund more than a broad equity ETF would.prnewswire.com
• Cheaper shelf-mates exist, GPZ at 0.40% and GTPE at 0.50%, but neither is built around direct late-stage private stakes.
