Our History

Metaurus was founded in 2017. We introduced the first publicly traded equity market, "IO" and "PO" securities, that disaggregated the S&P 500 Index into isolated and separately tradable claims on long and short-duration cash flows. This prism-like approach to equity investing separated the components of total return.

We collaborated with a leading academic researcher, Wharton Professor Jules van Binsbergen, on his work in "dividend strips" to expand Metaurus’ strategic offerings. Our unique approach to disaggregating and recombining the components of equity return facilitated our partnership with a leading ETF provider and other institutional asset managers.

New approaches can affect change.

The ability to unlock returns with an unbundling, duration-like approach can benefit investors. We want to improve equity investing by changing portfolio characteristics such as duration, volatility, expected return, and Sharpe ratio, among others.

Metaurus sees increasing demand for its portfolio optimization and investment overlays as it expands its suite of investment offerings. We consistently engage with private institutions, money managers, and financial advisors on the flexibility of customizing their clients’ overall risk/return profile.
