Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive, commented“Our mission is to enable our clients to realize their index-based product ideas quickly and efficiently. The REX Tech Innovation Premium Income UCITS ETF, and REX Tech Innovation Income & Growth UCITS ETF are powerful examples of how our flexible infrastructure and innovative mindset help translate product ideas into investable realities. We are proud to support REX Shares and HANetf with this launch.”

“We’re excited to partner with HANetf and Solactive to bring REX’s first European-listed ETF to market and expand our global footprint,” said Kevin Gopaul, Chief Investment Officer at REX. “Options-based income strategies have been one of the fastest-growing segments in the U.S., and our covered call ETFs have resonated strongly with investors seeking yield without sacrificing equity exposure. With the launch of the REX Tech Innovation Premium Income ETF, we’re proud to offer European investors a differentiated income solution built on a portfolio of leading U.S. technology companies.”

Hector McNeil, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of HANetf, commented: “We are delighted to be partnering with REX Shares to launch three new covered call ETFs in Europe. The asset class has taken off in Europe recently, but we believe it is only just getting started. REX Shares’ approach is tried and tested in the U.S., and now European investors have a chance to participate. We now have 5 covered call ETFs on the HANetf platform, and 13 active ETFs. We believe both these areas are poised for significant growth in Europe, and this is reflected in the uptick in enquiries we have received about launching active and options based ETFs. Our goal is always to break down the barriers to entry in the European ETF market, and allow asset managers from around the world to launch their exchange-traded strategies in a timely, and cost-effective, manner. Our product range is becoming increasingly diverse as we welcome more partners to the platform, ensuring that we are always innovating and offering relevant strategies to European investors.”
