February 28 News: REX Shares launched a new income-focused product, the GIF ETF, on Cboe BZX on February 26. It features a “leverage + covered call options” strategy and pays dividends weekly. The ETF offers investors exposure to a basket of cryptocurrencies and high-growth tech stocks through a single ticker, meeting market demand for high-yield ETFs and crypto-themed income tools.
GIF is an actively managed fund of funds that does not hold direct stocks but allocates across nine REX Shares growth and income ETFs. Each sub-fund is built around a single core asset and aims for approximately 1.25x nominal exposure. About half of the portfolio employs covered call strategies to generate option premium income. The fund is rebalanced monthly and can automatically expand its holdings as new products are introduced.
The underlying holdings cover multiple high-volatility sectors, including COII linked to the largest compliant US CEX, MSII related to Strategy, and NVII (Nvidia), TSII (Tesla), HOII (Robinhood), PLTI (Palantir), CWII (CoreWeave), LLII (Lilly), and WMTI (Walmart). The portfolio spans cryptocurrencies, AI, healthcare, and retail, diversifying individual stock risk while remaining exposed to the high-volatility tech and crypto sectors.
In terms of returns, the fund mainly relies on covered call premium income, with recent total returns exceeding 30%, though the 30-day SEC yield remains moderate. The expense ratio is about 1.23%, plus underlying fund costs, making the investment threshold relatively high. The leverage mechanism can amplify gains in a rising market but may also increase losses during downturns, and the options strategy could limit upside in strong market conditions.
Against the backdrop of increased volatility in US tech and crypto-related stocks, REX Shares is packaging complex strategies into an integrated product through the GIF ETF. For investors interested in CEX concept ETFs, Strategy-related investment opportunities, and high-yield ETF strategies, this product offers a convenient option but also requires careful assessment of leverage and derivatives risks.
