In its filing for the Mango Plus ETF, as well as a variant that would generate additional income for investors, the firm said it would ⁠build a portfolio from some combination of the core "MANGOS" stocks as well as seven other companies that include Micron (MU.O), opens new tab and SanDisk (SNDK.O), opens new tab, which it believes also will benefit from AI adoption, and which it dubbed the "Parabolic 7."
