"Our six completed IPOs paved the way to unlocking an asset class previously closed to the capital markets," said Fantex, Inc. CEO and co-founder Buck French. "By bundling multiple tracking stocks into a single, NASDAQ-listed security, we believe Fantex is providing the nxt evolution for those looking to invest in the business of professional sports."
