Who We Are
An ETF provider built around what portfolios are missing
REX Financial, headquartered in Westport, Connecticut, designs ETFs where the conventional toolkit runs out. Where index-based covered call funds leave premium on the table, REX writes calls on individual stocks. Where structured notes lock clients into minimums and messy tax reporting, REX wraps the allocation in an ETF. Where a structural growth theme has no dedicated vehicle, REX builds one. Every strategy ships with the same advisor-friendly mechanics: exchange liquidity, 1099 reporting, and no minimums.
The Solutions
Three solutions, six funds
Solution 01 | Equity Premium Income
Stock volatility is higher than index volatility. REX captures it.
REX’s EPI ETFs are built on a simple but powerful insight: stock-level implied volatility is meaningfully higher than index volatility. By writing calls on individual securities, REX captures higher premiums, places strikes further out-of-the-money (up to 10% OTM) so clients retain more upside, and applies the strategy across focused, thematic portfolios. The result is a capital-efficient approach to income that seeks to balance income and capital appreciation; the trade-off is that the covered call strategy limits upside participation in exchange for premium income.

Built to sustain: premiums have consistently exceeded distributions
FEPI has averaged a 2.76% monthly premium against a 2.13% average distribution; AIPI 3.81% against 2.98%; CEPI 4.37% against 3.62%. That buffer is what the strategy relies on to support distributions over time. And the distributions are tax-efficient by design: in 2025, 94.8% of FEPI distributions and 100% of AIPI and CEPI distributions were classified as Return of Capital, deferring taxes until shares are sold. ROC reduces cost basis and a fund’s NAV and trading price over time. Source: REX Shares as of 05/22/2026 for FEPI and AIPI, 04/28/2026 for CEPI. Distributions are not guaranteed.
Solution 01 | The Proof
Targeted call writing for better risk-adjusted yields
Yield per unit of volatility is the honest scoreboard for income strategies. Single-stock call writing is not an incremental edge over the index-based complex.
| Fund | Distribution | Avg. Vol | Yield / Vol |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual Stock Options | |||
| FEPI | 25.6% | 13.7% | 1.9 |
| AIPI | 35.7% | 16.1% | 2.2 |
| Nasdaq-100 Option Strategies | |||
| JEPQ | 11.4% | 11.7% | 1.0 |
| QQQI | 14.4% | 12.2% | 1.2 |
| QYLD | 12.7% | 9.5% | 1.3 |

Funds shown differ in strategy, holdings, and expenses; see Important Information for descriptions, expense ratios, and prospectus information for each fund referenced.
Solution 02 | Autocallable Income
The structured note allocation, without the structured note problems
Your clients already own this exposure through structured notes: income from equity volatility with predefined coupon barriers and principal mitigation thresholds set at inception. What they do not get from notes is liquidity, diversification, or clean tax reporting. ATCL and DACL wrap the allocation in an ETF: income generated from volatility itself, not dividends, not credit spreads.
ATCL is the income engine: a rules-based, daily laddered portfolio of 252 to 1,260 live autocallables targeting SOFR + 10% annually, with a 13.65% Distribution Rate as of 06/15/2026 and an estimated 83.8% average Return of Capital. DACL is the defensive sibling: the same daily laddered engine with a built-in Risk Buffer, targeting SOFR + 3%. Targets are not guarantees, coupons are not guaranteed, distribution rates are annualized and not guaranteed, and principal can be lost.
Structured Notes vs. the ETF Wrapper
Solution 03 | Thematic Growth
DRNZ: the only pure-play drone ETF
A structural shift, not a trend. The drone economy is projected to grow from $65B in 2025 to $163B by 2030, a 14% CAGR, with over $235B in global defense procurement allocated to offensive drones and countermeasures over the next decade. And a near-term catalyst: the FAA’s expected finalization of Part 108 BVLOS rules in 2026 would unlock routine long-range drone operations.
DRNZ offers dedicated exposure to companies leading this transformation across both the defense and commercial landscape: a single, efficient vehicle to express a high-conviction view. Concentrated sector exposure carries higher volatility than the broader market, and thematic investing may underperform the broader market.

Important Information
Investing in the Funds involves a high degree of risk. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment. Before investing, carefully consider each Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses as described in the prospectus. This and other information is in the prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest. For prospectuses and standardized performance, visit rexshares.com or call 1-844-802-4004. FEPI and AIPI gross expense ratio: 0.65%. CEPI gross expense ratio: 0.85%. DRNZ gross expense ratio: 0.65%.
The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost, and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling 1-844-802-4004. Short-term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of a fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns. Index performance does not represent a fund’s performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Distribution Rate: The Distribution Rate is the annual rate an investor would receive if the most recently declared distribution, which includes option income, remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is calculated by annualizing an ETF’s most recent Distribution per Share and dividing the resulting amount by the ETF’s most recent NAV. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return. The distribution may include a combination of ordinary dividends, capital gain, and return of investor capital, and has the potential to change during any given tax year. Please refer to the 19a-1 Notice on each Fund’s website regarding the composition of distributions. Final determination of a distribution’s tax character will be made on Form 1099-DIV.
Distribution Risk. There is no assurance that a Fund will make a distribution in any given period. If a Fund does make distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next. Distributions may consist of returns of capital, which would decrease a Fund’s NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment. Return of Capital distributions return the investor’s original investment; by returning principal, a fund will have less money to invest, which may lower its overall return.
Covered Call Strategy Risk (FEPI, AIPI, CEPI). The path dependency of a Fund’s call writing strategy will impact the extent that the Fund participates in the positive price returns of the underlying reference securities and, in turn, the Fund’s returns, both during the term of the sold call options and over longer time periods. Repeated distributions may erode NAV over time. The Funds are non-diversified and concentrated in the technology sector, where applicable.
Autocallable Structure Risk (ATCL, DACL). Returns are linked to structured autocallable indexes, which may limit upside participation and expose investors to complex payoff patterns that differ from direct investments in the underlying securities. Returns depend on reference index performance relative to predefined barriers. Coupons are not guaranteed. SOFR + 10% (ATCL) and SOFR + 3% (DACL) are targets, not guarantees.
Risk Buffer and Gearing Risk (DACL). The Risk Buffer reduces but does not eliminate downside risk. Losses beyond the Risk Buffer are magnified by the Gearing Factor.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets. A Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.
Concentration Risk (DRNZ). The Fund will be concentrated in an industry or a group of industries to the extent that its Index is so concentrated. The value of the Fund, which focuses on underlying securities in the industrials sector, may be more volatile than a more diversified pooled investment or the market as a whole. Drone and UAV companies are subject to geopolitical and regulatory risks, and thematic investing may underperform the broader market.
Liquidity Risk. Some securities held by the Funds, including options contracts, may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil.
Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Funds are non-diversified, they may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if they were diversified funds.
