The two ETFs, named CI Galaxy Blockchain ETF and CI Galaxy Metaverse ETF, are officially traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the ticker symbols CBCX and CMVX, respectively.
The ETF will charge users an annual management fee of 0.50%.
Roy Ratnavel, executive vice president at CI GAM, said that through CBCX and CMVX, the company’s capabilities in cryptocurrencies and thematic ETFs would be strengthened.
