REX Shares, begun trading 2 new ETFs, the REX Gold Hedged S&P 500 (NYSE Arca: GHS) and the REX Gold Hedged FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (NYSE Arca: GHE) on Tuesday, April 5, 2016. Here is a synopsis of the new ETFs:

 

1.
FUND INFORMATION:

Symbol: GHS	Exchange: NYSE ARCA
Name: REX Gold Hedged S&P 500	Net Expense Ratio: 0.48%

 

FUND OBJECTIVE:
The REX Gold Hedged S&P 500 seeks to outperform the total return performance of the S&P 500 Dynamic Gold Hedged Index by actively hedging the returns of the S&P 500 Index using gold futures. The Fund will invest primarily in:

(i) large-cap U.S. stocks;
(ii) gold futures,
(iii) ETFs and exchange-traded closed-end funds that provide exposure to large-cap U.S. stocks,
(iv) ETFs or exchange-traded notes (ETNs) that provide exposure to gold, and
(v) futures that provide exposure to the S&P 500 Index.

The Fund will also invest in fixed income instruments such as Treasury securities and other high-quality, short duration fixed income instruments, money market instruments, cash and cash equivalents to provide liquidity and collateralize its futures contracts. Under normal circumstances, the Fund seeks to achieve a similar level of volatility as that of the Benchmark, although there is no assurance it will do so.

REFERENCE INDEX:
The S&P 500 Dynamic Gold Hedged Index measures the total return performance of a hypothetical portfolio consisting of securities that compose the S&P 500 Index, which measures the performance of the large-capitalization sector of the U.S. equity market, and a long position in gold futures contracts, the notional value of which is comparable to the value of the Benchmark’s equity component.
