CEPI’s unique covered call strategy aims to unlock added income from the BITA Crypto Assets & Digital Payments Index

REX Financial (“REX”), a leader in innovative exchange-traded products, today announces the launch of the REX Crypto Equity Premium Income ETF (Nasdaq: CEPI). CEPI aims to provide investors exposure to leading cryptocurrency (crypto) companies while generating an enhanced monthly income using an advanced covered call strategy.

CEPI provides investors unique access to the top 25 U.S. crypto-related companies through the BITA Crypto Assets & Digital Payments Index, including those that operate in crypto mining, trading, custody, blockchain technology development, and the creation of digital payment solutions. CEPI executes an out-of-the-money call writing strategy across the individual stocks within the index, balancing the potential for income generation and price appreciation. This innovative approach is designed to help investors better capitalize on the cryptocurrency sector’s volatility and upside potential.

CEPI joins REX’s lineup as the firm’s third covered call ETF, following the flagship FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Innovation ETF (Nasdaq: FEPI) and the REX AI Equity Premium Income ETF (Nasdaq: AIPI). Since its launch a year ago, FEPI and AIPI have accumulated over $500 million in assets under management and offers an annualized distribution rate* of 25.2% and 34.8% respectively (as of 11/25/24) and a 30-day SEC yield** of -0.09% and -0.18% (as of 10/31/24).

“Crypto is transforming financial ecosystems and creating unique investment opportunities. With CEPI, we’re applying our targeted covered call strategy to the sector’s most disruptive companies, creating new opportunities for income generation,” said Greg King, CEO of REX Financial. “We remain committed to building first-of-their-kind tools to help traders and investors harness opportunities in the market.”

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. An investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.

*The Distribution Rate is the annual yield 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 multiplying an ETF’s Distribution per Share by twelve (12), 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. Current distributions represent 100% Return of Capital. For full details on the composition of distributions, please refer to the latest 19a-1 notice.

**The 30-Day SEC Yield represents net investment income, which excludes option income, earned by such ETF over the 30-Day period, expressed as an annual percentage rate based on such ETF’s share price at the end of the 30-Day period. The REX AI Equity Premium Income ETF and the REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF have a gross expense ratio of 0.65%. Distributions are not guaranteed.

Important Risks

Industry Concentration Risk. In following its methodology, the Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or industry group. To the extent that the Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or industry group, the Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent.

Liquidity Risk. Some securities held by the Fund, including options contracts, may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. The 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.

Distribution Risk. As part of the Fund’s investment objective, the Fund seeks to provide current monthly income. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution in any given month. If the Fund does make distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next. Additionally, the monthly distributions, if any, may consist of returns of capital, which would decrease the Fund’s NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment.

Call Writing Strategy Risk. The path dependency (i.e., the continued use) of the Fund’s call writing strategy will impact the extent to which the Fund participates in the positive price returns of the individual stocks comprising the Index and, in turn, the Fund’s returns, both during the term of the sold call options and over longer time periods.

Crypto Asset Risk. The Fund has exposure to the crypto asset platforms as a result of the Index attempting to reflect generally the performance of the price of Bitcoin before payment of its expenses and liabilities. A crypto asset operates without central authority or banks and is not backed by any government. Crypto assets are often referred to as a “virtual asset” or “digital asset,” and operate as a decentralized, peer-to-peer financial trading platform and value storage that is used like money. A crypto asset is also not a legal tender. Federal, state or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange of a crypto asset, and regulation in the U.S. is still developing. Further, the spot markets for crypto assets are fragmented and lack regulatory compliance and/or oversight. Crypto asset platforms may stop operating or permanently shut down due to fraud, technical glitches, hackers or malware. The Fund’s indirect exposure to crypto assets such as Bitcoin may be affected by the high volatility associated with such crypto asset exposure. Future regulatory actions or policies may limit the ability to sell, exchange or use crypto assets, thereby impairing their prices. Crypto asset trading platforms on which Bitcoin trades, and which may serve as a pricing source for valuation of spot Bitcoin held by the Index may be subject to enforcement actions by regulatory authorities.

Technology Industry Risk. The stock prices of technology and technology-related companies and, therefore, the value of the Fund, may experience significant price movements as a result of intense market volatility, worldwide competition, consumer preferences, product compatibility, product obsolescence, government regulation, excessive investor optimism or pessimism, or other factors.

Index: The BITA Crypto Assets and Digital Payments Index (the “Index”) is a rules-based composite index that tracks the market performance of 25 companies, listed on recognized exchanges based in the US, that are actively engaged in crypto-related activities such as cryptocurrency mining, trading, custody, blockchain technology development, and the creation of digital payment solutions. The Index is weighted by modified free float market capitalization and is reconstituted quarterly and rebalanced monthly, providing a dynamic reflection of market trends.

Out of the Money Option: An out of the money call option has a strike price that is higher than the price of the underlying asset.

Call Option: Call options are financial contracts that give the buyer the right—but not the obligation—to buy a stock, bond, commodity, or other asset or instrument at a specified price within a specific period.
