FEPI vs. XSD ETF Comparison

Comparison of REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF (FEPI) to SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF (XSD)
FEPI

REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF

FEPI Description

FEPI employs a covered call strategy, aiming for a balance between generating income and participating in potential gains within the technology sector. Specifically, the fund holds the stocks of its benchmark, the Solactive FANG Innovation Index, and writes slightly out-of-the-money call options on them. This approach capitalizes on the volatility of big-tech firms that is reflected in the option premiums, while limiting some of the potential stock gains. It also provides a small buffer against declines in stock prices. Note that the buffer is limited to the options premiums and may not fully offset underlying security losses. The benchmark is an equal-weighted index comprised of 15 US technology companies, eight of which are core holdings: Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Netflix, Nvidia, and Tesla. The remaining seven are selected based on quarterly trading volumes from various Factset technology-related industries.

XSD

SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF

XSD Description The investment seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of an index derived from the semiconductor segment of a U.S. total market composite index. In seeking to track the performance of the S&P Semiconductor Select Industry Index (the "index"), the fund employs a replication strategy. It generally invests substantially all, but at least 80%, of its total assets in the securities comprising the index. The index represents the semiconductors industry group of the S&P Total Market Index ("S&P TMI"). The fund is non-diversified.
