REX AI Equity Premium Income ETF

AIPI is actively managed, investing in leading Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies selected from the holdings of the BITA AI Leaders Select Index. The fund seeks to generate income by writing covered call options on its holdings, aiming for capital growth and current income, while maintaining the flexibility to adapt based on market conditions.

The REX AI Equity Premium Income ETF offers exposure to AI stocks with a covered call strategy, providing a high dividend yield but capping upside potential. AIPI's strategy involves writing covered calls on 100% of its holdings, primarily using out-of-the-money options. The fund's high yield, currently at 34.8%, is primarily funded by return of capital, raising concerns about long-term sustainability.

AIPI: A Covered Call Strategy With AI Exposure

REX Shares' AIPI ETF, launched in June 2024, holds AI-centric stocks and writes OTM covered calls on its individual holdings. AIPI leverages high volatility in individual tech stocks to generate substantial option premiums, outperforming indices like the NASDAQ 100 and S&P 500 while offering 30%+ yields. Significant sector concentration risk and the nature of its underlying index make writing covered calls on the stocks a long-term risk.

Despite recent market declines, I remain confident in the Dividend Harvesting Portfolio, focusing on generating recurring income and mitigating downside risk. Big tech's increased CapEx spend is bullish; I continue to allocate capital to Ford, NextEra Energy Partners, and REX AI Equity Premium Income ETF. The portfolio's forward dividend income is now $1,836.34, with a yield of 7.73%, and I project strong growth into 2025.
