NEOS Investments, an award-winning ETF issuer specializing in innovative options-based strategies, has received its second major industry award of 2025, being named “Best Option Strategies ETF Issuer ($1–10 Billion AUM)” at the ETF Express U.S. Awards. The recognition highlights NEOS’ continued innovation and growth within the rapidly expanding options-based ETF category.

The annual ETF Express Awards honor the best ETF issuers and service providers across key asset classes and strategy types, as voted on by industry peers and professional investors. NEOS was recognized for its differentiated suite of actively managed, options-based ETFs that seek to deliver tax-efficient monthly income across core portfolio exposures through a data-driven approach.

“We’re honored to be recognized by ETF Express as the leading options-strategy ETF issuer in our category,” said Garrett Paolella, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at NEOS Investments. “This award reflects the dedication of our team and the trust of the advisors and investors who continue to choose NEOS ETFs as tools for seeking tax-efficient monthly income.”

“Beyond delivering best-in-class options-based ETFs, our mission has always been to help educate investors on options strategies and the potential benefits they can offer,” said Troy Cates, Co-Founder and Managing Partner. “The growth across our product lineup reflects the strong demand for income-focused solutions delivered through accessible and transparent ETFs.”

Although founded in 2022, the NEOS team is comprised of pioneers and veterans in the options-based segment of the ETF market. The firm has quickly established itself as a leader in the space, combining their deep derivatives expertise with a commitment to creating innovative and sustainable investment solutions, while prioritizing ongoing investor education and support.

This recognition by ETF Express follows a series of notable achievements, including the ETF.com Award for “Best New Active ETF” for the NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (QQQI), a finalist nomination for “ETF Issuer of the Year” at the 2025 ETF.com Awards, and multiple finalist honors at the 2025 Wealth Management Industry Awards within the “ETFs” and “New Product Development” categories.

Important Disclosures:

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) before investing. To obtain an ETF's prospectus containing this and other important information, please call (866) 498-5677 or view/download a prospectus at https://neosfunds.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

An investment in NEOS ETFs involve risk, including possible loss of principal. The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. The use of leverage by the Fund, such as borrowing money to purchase securities or the use of options, will cause the Fund to incur additional expenses and magnify the Fund's gains or losses. The earnings and prospects of small and medium sized companies are more volatile than larger companies and may experience higher failure rates than larger companies. Small and medium sized companies normally have a lower trading volume than larger companies, which may tend to make their market price fall more disproportionately than larger companies in response to selling pressures and may have limited markets, product lines, or financial resources and lack management experience. The funds are new with a limited operating history.
