Former Tesla and Lyft Executive Launches ETF Firm

From the desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law

Jon McNeill, a former executive at Tesla and Lyft and co-founder of venture firm DVx Ventures, has partnered with ETF pioneer Adam Patti to launch VistaShares, an asset management firm specializing in ETFs centered on artificial intelligence and electrification. AdvisorHub reports that VistaShares will target “supercycles” — transformative, long-term trends in technology that disrupt existing economic models.

DVx Ventures, which McNeill co-founded after leaving Lyft in 2019, has created over a dozen companies across industries like software-as-a-service, electric vehicles, and AI. Unlike traditional venture firms, DVx develops its portfolio companies in-house rather than investing in external startups. VistaShares will be DVx's first venture into asset management.

AdvisorHub opines that thematic ETFs, such as those focusing on AI and electrification, face an uphill challenge in attracting investors, especially as interest rate hikes have recently strained growth stocks. However, VistaShares aims to stand out by tapping into these high-impact trends, positioning itself in a competitive and fast-evolving sector of the asset management industry.

If the regulators are after you, and are trying to make a case against you, and you are going to contest their allegations against you, make sure you have the best securities industry defense lawyers, Eccleston Law Firm. My case was spun into a combination of penalties including fines, cash settlements, CE courses and suspension. They were the best I have seen in action. When all was said and done, they had done their magic, my situation was negotiated and settled with a simple "letter of caution" and a case closed without action. It is the most important legal business decision you will ever make, make it Eccleston Law.
