REX HOOD Growth & Income ETF (HOII) is a U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund that seeks weekly distributions and targeted daily exposure to the price movement of HOOD, primarily via a covered call strategy implemented on HOOD-related exposure. The fund employs leverage-like exposure by targeting between 105% and 150% of HOOD’s daily return and writes call options on a portion of its notional exposure to balance income with growth potential. Headquarters and primary operations are based in the United States, with a domicile focused on U.S. markets and distribution channels designed for U.S. investors and cross-border access where permitted. The sponsor and adviser team emphasizes a systematic approach that combines equity ownership in HOOD with option income generation, aiming to deliver recurring income while maintaining a tether to HOOD’s equity performance.
