AIPI: Only Makes Sense As An Accompanying Position

REX AI Equity Premium Income ETF offers a high yield but has underperformed in share price and total return versus traditional AI ETFs. AIPI's strategy of writing covered calls on AI stocks limits upside growth and provides little downside protection, making it suitable only as a supplement to diversified AI holdings. The fund's 34.8% dividend yield is attractive, but payouts are variable and primarily consist of return of capital, which may not be sustainable in declining markets.

AIPI: NAV Erosion And How To Manage It

REX AI Equity Premium Income ETF offers a high yield near 40%, but faces NAV erosion and capped upside due to its covered call strategy. Investors can preserve capital by reinvesting distributions, which makes AIPI suitable for income-focused investors seeking AI exposure, so long as AIPI continues to generate positive total returns.

AIPI: A Superior Covered Call Fund, But Not Without Its Risks

AIPI offers a ~35% yield by selling covered calls on volatile AI-related stocks, using a semi-dynamic laddered approach for risk/reward balance. The fund's performance has outpaced most covered call peers and matched or slightly lagged major indices, with a 22% total return since inception. High yield requires reinvestment of distributions to maintain capital, as NAV can be volatile and exposed to downside risk in market crashes.

AIPI: Holdings Interesting, Strategy Not So Much

The ETF writes slightly out-of-the-money calls, enhancing income in flat or declining markets but capping upside in bullish conditions. AIPI targets AI-focused companies, balancing direct AI revenue leaders with key ecosystem enablers for diversified exposure.

AIPI: Not Convinced Of The Fund's Strategy

AIPI's performance has been disappointing, with a 23.4% price decline since inception and distributions not offsetting the price drop, raising concerns about its portfolio strategy. The fund's option strategy, blending OTM and ATM options, hasn't effectively capitalized on significant price movements in its holdings, questioning management's income generation ability. The fund's high dividend yield of 34.8% is unsustainable, with distributions primarily being a return of capital, not net investment income, indicating potential long-term issues.

The best investments endure over time, revealing weaknesses during market adversity, as seen with recent equity sell-offs due to Trump's tariff strategy.
