REX Expands Autocallable Lineup with Defensive Autocallable Income ETF

DACL seeks to deliver a consistent, outcome-oriented income experience with a defensive, buffered downside profile through a transparent ETF structure. RBC Capital Markets will serve as a swap provider for DACL.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- REX Shares ("REX"), a leading innovator in alternative exchange-traded funds (ETFs), today announced the launch of the REX Defensive Autocallable Income ETF (Ticker: DACL). The ETF and other REX ETFs are supported by CAIS, the leading alternative investment platform for independent financial advisors, which will serve as a platform and marketing partner and Bloomberg Index Services Limited ("Bloomberg Indices"), which supplies the underlying index. RBC Capital Markets, a global financial services company, will serve as the swap provider for the ETF.

Demand for outcome-oriented income strategies continues to rise, particularly among investors who want an income profile with more defensive downside characteristics. DACL is designed to provide rules-based, income-focused exposure that does not rely on traditional credit exposure or extended duration. The fund utilizes the Bloomberg US Large Cap VolMax Defensive Autocallable Total Return Index, seeking to reflect the performance of a systematic laddered portfolio of autocallable derivative positions. DACL seeks to deliver consistent income while providing buffered downside protection and maintaining exposure to broad equities.

DACL seeks to target a distribution of approximately SOFR plus 3% and is engineered with a defensive downside profile. Where a traditional barrier structure can impair principal in line with the full index decline once a barrier is breached, DACL uses a 50% risk buffer with a 200% gearing factor that applies only to declines beyond the buffer, observed at each position’s final maturity if it has not previously autocalled. Distributions are a target, are not guaranteed, and may vary or be zero.

“With DACL, we are extending our autocallable income platform to investors who want a more defensive posture,” said Greg King, CEO and Founder of REX Shares. “The strategy pairs a systematic, daily laddered autocallable portfolio with a buffered downside profile, pursuing consistent income within a well-defined risk framework.”

DACL offers daily liquidity, transparency, and operational efficiency for income-focused portfolios. REX manages the strategy, bringing its outcome-oriented design expertise, while CAIS serves as a core partner supporting advisor education and access.

The REX Defensive Autocallable Income ETF (the “Fund”) is a series of REX ETF Trust and is an exchange traded fund. Shares of the Fund are bought and sold at market price (not net asset value) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions and bid-ask spreads will reduce returns.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The Fund seeks to generate income and provide a buffered downside profile through exposure to a rules-based index of synthetic autocallable yield notes (the “Autocallable Index”) obtained primarily through total return swap agreements. The Fund does not invest directly in the Autocallable Index and does not provide principal protection. The Fund is subject to risks associated with the Autocallable Index methodology, buffer, gearing, and coupon features, equity market volatility, derivatives and counterparty exposure, U.S. Treasury and other debt securities, liquidity, and the Fund’s non-diversified status, among other risks described in the Prospectus. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its investment objective or that distributions will be maintained.

The Fund, its investment adviser REX Advisers, LLC, and its distributor do not provide tax, legal, or investment advice. Investors should consult a financial professional regarding an investment in the Fund and should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing.

Read the Prospectus and Summary Prospectus carefully before investing.

THE FUND, TRUST, ADVISER, AND SUB-ADVISER ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE FUND’S UNDERLYING SECURITIES.

Definitions. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a debt security, or a portfolio of debt securities, to changes in interest rates, expressed in years. A longer duration generally indicates greater price sensitivity to interest rate movements. Gearing Factor refers to the multiplier applied to any decline in the underlying reference index beyond the Risk Buffer, measured at a position’s final maturity if the position has not previously autocalled. For example, a 200% Gearing Factor means that each 1% of decline beyond the 50% Risk Buffer reduces principal on that position by 2%, such that a decline of 100% in the underlying reference index would result in a total loss of principal on that position.

to a structured autocallable index, which may limit upside participation and expose investors to complex payoff patterns that differ from direct investments in the underlying securities.

Buffered Downside and Gearing Risk. The Fund’s downside profile relies on a Risk Buffer and a Gearing Factor at each position’s final maturity. If the underlying reference index finishes below the Risk Buffer, principal on that position is reduced by the decline beyond the buffer multiplied by the Gearing Factor, which magnifies losses in that range and can result in significant loss of invested capital.

Barrier and Coupon Risk. If the underlying reference index breaches the coupon barrier or falls below the Risk Buffer, income and principal protections may be reduced or lost.

Swap Agreements Risk. The Fund may utilize swap agreements to derive its exposure to shares of the underlying reference asset. Swap agreements may involve greater risks than direct investment in securities as they may be leveraged and are subject to credit risk, counterparty risk and valuation risk.

Distribution Risk. As part of the Fund’s investment objectives, the Fund seeks to provide current income. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution at any given time. If the Fund does make distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next.

High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the Fund’s holdings. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase the Fund’s expenses.

Coupon/Contingent Income Risk. Coupon payments are contingent on barrier conditions being met and are not guaranteed; in unfavorable market environments, investors may receive little or no income.

Early Redemption Risk. Autocallable features can cause positions to be redeemed early in rising markets, forcing reinvestment at potentially lower yields and limiting participation in continued market gains.

Market Risk. The value of the Fund will fluctuate with overall market conditions and the performance of the underlying reference index, and investors could lose money, including principal.

Volatility Target Index Risk. The volatility-targeted reference index may underperform traditional equity indices because of its leverage caps, volatility adjustment mechanism, and embedded financing or cost overlays.

Active Management Risk. The Fund’s performance depends on the investment decisions and risk management techniques of the adviser, which may not achieve the intended results and could cause the Fund to underperform.

Liquidity Risk. Certain instruments, including derivatives referencing structured notes or indices, may become difficult or costly to trade, which can impact pricing, portfolio management, and the ability to meet redemptions.

Derivatives Risk. The Fund’s use of derivatives may magnify gains and losses, introduce leverage, and create exposure to valuation, correlation, and operational risks that can adversely affect performance.

Options Contracts Risk. Options can expire worthless, are sensitive to changes in volatility, time decay, and the price of the underlying asset, and may be less liquid than other securities.

New Fund Risk. Because the Fund is newly formed, it has a limited operating history and there can be no assurance that it will be successful in implementing its investment strategy.

Underlying Reference Index and Volatility Targeting Risk. Performance depends on the Bloomberg US Large Cap VolMax Index (or any successor index), which applies volatility targeting, financing charges and other adjustments that may cause it to underperform the underlying equity index.

Equity Market Risk. The value of the Fund may fluctuate in response to stock market moves, and equity markets can decline rapidly and unpredictably.

Debt Securities and U.S. Treasury Risk. Investments in U.S. Treasuries and other debt used as collateral are subject to interest-rate, credit, prepayment and liquidity risk, which can negatively impact the Fund.

Non-Diversification Risk. As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest a larger portion of its assets in fewer issuers or strategies, increasing the impact of any single position or market event on performance.

Concentration Risk. To the extent the Fund concentrates its investments in specific sectors, asset classes, or strategies, it is more vulnerable to conditions and events that adversely affect those areas.

Counterparty Risk. The Fund is exposed to the creditworthiness of swap, options, and other transaction counterparties, and could incur losses if a counterparty fails to meet its obligations.

Cyber Security Risk. The Fund and its service providers may be adversely affected by cyber-attacks or other information security events that could result in financial loss, business disruption, or unauthorized access to confidential information.
