US ETF Issuers Race to Launch New AI-Focused ‘MANGOS’ Funds

The US stock market is witnessing a rapid shift in investor sentiment as asset managers scramble to capitalize on the "MANGOS" theme. Following SpaceX’s historic $75 billion initial public offering, a new wave of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is being designed to target the next generation of artificial intelligence leaders.

The Rise of the MANGOS Theme

Following the massive momentum generated by the SpaceX IPO, a new acronym has taken social media and trading floors by storm: MANGOS. This grouping is viewed by many market participants as the successor to the widely followed "Magnificent Seven" trade.

The MANGOS acronym represents a powerful basket of AI-focused companies, comprising:

Notably, this grouping is unique because it blends established publicly traded giants like Nvidia and Meta with highly influential private companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, alongside the newly public SpaceX.

New ETF Filings from Yorkville and Corgi Securities

In a swift response to this emerging narrative, two asset managers have filed applications with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch dedicated MANGOS-linked products.

Yorkville America, the manager behind the Truth Social ETF franchise, is proposing two distinct products: the Mango Plus ETF and an income-generating variant. Yorkville’s strategy goes beyond the core six, incorporating an additional group of AI-adjacent firms it calls the "Parabolic 7." This includes critical hardware players like memory-chip manufacturer Micron and storage solutions provider SanDisk, which are essential to the AI infrastructure supply chain.

Meanwhile, newcomer Corgi Securities has filed to launch a fund that focuses exclusively on the six core companies within the MANGOS acronym. If the SEC approves these applications, both providers could potentially begin trading their new products by the end of August.

The Trend of 'Concept Investing' in AI

Market analysts are identifying these filings as a prime example of "concept investing." This trend involves fund providers moving with extreme agility to package trending market narratives into structured investment products.

As the AI revolution moves from pure software speculation to massive infrastructure and private-to-public transitions (as seen with SpaceX), the ability of ETF issuers to package these themes is becoming a key competitive advantage. The rush to launch MANGOS funds underscores how quickly capital is seeking to reallocate itself from traditional tech giants toward a more specialized, AI-integrated ecosystem of leaders.
