VAST VIEW Wall Street Builds ETF Launchpad for Investors Chasing Anthropic Before Its IPO
Bloomberg reports fund managers are rolling out two separate waves of ETFs designed to give everyday investors a stake in AI firm Anthropic both before and after it goes public.

Investors eager to bet on Anthropic, one of the most closely watched names in artificial intelligence, may soon have a new way in without waiting for a traditional stock listing. According to Bloomberg Markets, financial firms are preparing exchange traded funds structured in two distinct phases, one aimed at giving exposure ahead of any initial public offering and another designed for after the company eventually lists.
The approach reflects a broader trend of funds packaging access to high profile private companies that remain outside public markets, letting retail investors buy in through an ETF wrapper rather than needing direct access to pre IPO shares. Bloomberg's report frames this as an emerging strategy specifically built around anticipation of Anthropic's path to going public.
No timeline for an Anthropic IPO was specified in the report, and details on which firms are issuing the funds or how they will be structured were not fully outlined. The story underscores how much investor appetite exists for AI sector plays even before a company sets a date to list.
