For Financial Advisors

REX Portfolio Solutions

Built on rules, not stock picks.


Option income for the equity sleeve, autocallable income that can replace part of the fixed income sleeve, and focused themes for growth. Every REX Portfolio Solutions strategy follows a published, rules-based methodology, so advisors underwrite the method, not a manager’s stock picks.







The Approach

One method behind every strategy

Option income, autocallable, or thematic, each REX Portfolio Solutions strategy follows published rules: what it holds, when that changes, and how it seeks income or exposure. In many actively managed strategies, a manager makes those calls, so an advisor underwrites the manager as well as the strategy.


Many actively managed strategies

A manager makes the calls

Who decides what the fund holdsA portfolio manager, based on a view
When holdings changeWhen the manager's view changes
What an advisor underwritesThe manager's judgment, as well as the strategy

REX Portfolio Solutions

Published rules make the calls

Who decides what the fund holdsA published, rules-based index, or a single named stock
When holdings changeOn a published schedule: an index rebalance, or a new autocallable each trading day
What an advisor underwritesA methodology that can be read in full
What we publishHoldings, methodology, the composition of every distribution in 19a-1 notices, and total return beside the distribution rate

The trade-off: rules cannot sidestep a holding the index includes. If it struggles, the fund holds it until the index says otherwise. One strategy, ULTI, is actively managed, and we label it that way.







Engine 01 | Option Income | Equity Sleeve

Option income, written stock by stock

Many option income ETFs write one call on an index. REX writes calls on each holding instead. Stock-level implied volatility has been persistently higher than index volatility, and higher implied volatility generally means more option premium.

The stocks themselves come from a published index or a single named stock, not a manager’s picks, and we judge the income by more than its rate: the proof below shows what funded it. The trade-off: option writing limits upside on the written portion, premium cushions a drawdown but does not hedge it, and distributions are not guaranteed.

Potential role: an income sleeve alongside core equity, or a complement to index-based covered call holdings.

Stock selectionFollows a published index: the FANG & Innovation Index (FEPI), the BITA AI Leaders Select Index (AIPI), and the BITA Crypto Assets & Digital Payments Index (CEPI)
ExposureBaskets of 15 to 25 U.S.-listed stocks across big tech, AI, and crypto-related equities
Option approachCovered calls on approximately 100% of the portfolio, with strikes about 5 to 10% out-of-the-money
DistributionsSought weekly; not guaranteed, and may include return of capital
What you give upGains past each strike in sharp rallies, and a rules-based basket cannot sidestep a stock its index includes. Premium cushions a drawdown; it does not hedge one.

Distributions are not guaranteed and may include return of capital. Current distribution rates, standardized performance, and holdings are on each fund page. See the Distribution Rate definition and risks in Important Information below.


Engine 01 proof | Income quality

A rate is not a return. Here is the rest.

A distribution rate says what a fund paid. Income quality asks three more questions: whether option premium funded the distribution, how much distribution came per unit of volatility, and what the investor kept in total return. We publish the answers, including the composition of every distribution.

How much distribution per unit of volatility?1

Distribution Rate1 divided by average realized volatility. A higher ratio means more distribution per unit of volatility over the period shown.

Engine 02 | Autocallable Income

Replace part of the fixed income sleeve with equity-linked income



The usual ways to raise income in a bond allocation are to extend duration or take more credit risk. Autocallables are not bonds, and that is the point: their coupons come from equity volatility, with coupon barriers and principal thresholds set at inception. That makes them a different source of income for part of the fixed income sleeve, not a new kind of bond.

Individual notes bring friction: one issuance date per note, manual reinvestment at call or maturity, limited liquidity, and uneven tax reporting. ATCL and DACL, launched in partnership with RBC and Bloomberg, offer exposure to a portfolio of autocallables on a rules-based equity index, with one added each trading day inside a ’40 Act ETF, and seek to pay distributions monthly.

Potential role: a replacement for a portion of the fixed income sleeve. The allocation comes from bonds; the income comes from equity markets rather than from duration or credit spreads. ATCL and DACL are not fixed income: principal is linked to equity index performance, and the funds carry derivatives and counterparty risk, so the portion replaced should match the client’s tolerance for equity risk.

Engine 03 | Thematic | Growth Satellite

Growth themes with budgets behind them

Defense budgets are shifting toward unmanned systems. AI capital spending and government fab funding are flowing to the equipment makers behind every chip. Each REX Thematic ETF follows a focused, rules-based index for one theme, so the exposure is not diluted inside a broad fund and no manager picks the names.


The drone economyDRNZREX Drone ETF

Drones have moved from the edge of the battlefield to the center of defense budgets, and commercial uses such as delivery, inspection, and precision agriculture are moving from pilots into revenue. DRNZ is the first U.S.-listed ETF offering pure-play exposure to the full drone value chain.

Where the fund focuses
ManufacturersAutonomy softwareComponentsCounter-drone systems
AI chipmakingCHIPREX AI Chipmaking ETF

AI capital spending flows down the supply chain to the equipment makers every chipmaker buys from, and government-funded fabs each need a full equipment buildout. CHIP focuses on the machines behind AI chip production.

Where the fund focuses
Wafer fabricationAdvanced packagingMetrology

Concentration cuts both ways. Funds focused on one theme can be more volatile than broad market funds and may underperform the broader market. Drone companies carry defense, geopolitical, and regulatory risk. Chipmaking companies are cyclical and exposed to trade and export policy.

Potential role: a growth satellite sized beside a core allocation, with one theme per ticker so overlap with existing technology and growth positions is easy to see.
