About REX Shares CEPI

Covered calls written on individual high-volatility stocks within tech, AI, and crypto indexes — capturing single-stock volatility premiums rather than index premiums.

Strategy highlights

  • Out-of-the-money calls on individual stocks, not the broad index
  • Weekly distributions (transitioned from monthly in May 2026)
  • No K-1 forms; distributions have been largely return of capital

Risk considerations

  • Covered calls cap upside in strong rallies
  • Concentrated exposure to volatile tech, AI, and crypto names
  • Distribution amounts vary with option premiums

Tax Considerations

Distributions from options-income ETFs are often classified partly as return of capital (ROC), which reduces your cost basis rather than being taxed as ordinary income in the year received. The exact split is published in the fund’s 19a-1 notices and finalized on your 1099-DIV.

REX Equity Premium Income funds have recently distributed 100% estimated return of capital — confirm the final classification on your 1099-DIV.
