AXS 2X Innovation ETF (TARK) Celebrates 1-Year Anniversary as Industry's First 2X Innovation ETF

TARK ETF is part of AXS Investments' fast-growing ETF lineup; TARK designed to allow investors to express their bullish views on "the innovation trade"

NEW YORK, May 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- AXS Investments, a leading asset manager providing access to alternative investments for growth, income and diversification, is celebrating the first anniversary of the launch of its AXS 2X Innovation ETF (TARK).

TARK is designed as a powerful tool for investors who are bullish on investment exposure to disruptive innovation, which refers to those industries with the potential to transform the world and disintermediate a range of traditional industries. Disruptive innovation most commonly refers to fast-growing companies in areas such as next-gen Internet, electric vehicles, genomics and fintech. TARK seeks to achieve double (2x) the daily returns of disruptive technology stocks over the course of each single trading day.

"There is a very large contingent of traders and investors who believe in the bullish thesis for disruptive innovation, and we're very proud to be marking TARK's one-year anniversary as a key vehicle for this investor cohort," said Greg Bassuk, Chief Executive Officer of AXS Investments. "Enabling first-of-its-kind access for investors to express a view on disruptive innovation required some disruptive innovation of our own, and we're pleased to offer TARK alongside our many other investment solutions through which investors can achieve their objectives."

To access the Innovation Trade, in addition to TARK, AXS also offers:

• AXS Short Innovation ETF (SARK), which seeks to provide the inverse (-1x) of the daily return of disruptive technology stocks. It is designed for investors who believe the bull thesis for disruptive innovation is stretched and that valuations for ultra-high growth stocks are elevated, such as in the face of a high interest rate environment.
• AXS TSLA Bear Daily ETF (TSLQ), which provides the inverse (-1x) daily performance of Tesla common stock.
• AXS 1.25X NVDA Bear Daily ETF (NVDS), which seeks to provide daily returns that correspond to 1.25 times the inverse (-125%) of the daily performance of common stock of NVIDIA Corporation, a leading provider of the chips and graphics processing units used in a vast array of computing, gaming, artificial intelligence and more.

"Bullish or bearish, investors deserve access to a range of tools through which they can express their own specific investment thesis," added Bassuk. "AXS equals 'Access' and we're thrilled with the response to TARK and our other AXS funds as we continue to educate the marketplace about the roles these ETFs can play."
