The Global X AI Semiconductor & Quantum ETF, identified by the ticker CHPX, is structured to mirror the financial performance—both capital gains and income—of the Global X AI Semiconductor & Quantum Index. Its primary goal is to replicate these results before any management fees or operational expenses are subtracted.
CHPX (Global X - AI Semiconductor & Quantum ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management - Global, with a market capitalization of approximately $33.4M, a beta of 3.32 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 49-112, average daily share volume of 101K, a public-listing history dating back to 2025. These structural characteristics shape how CHPX etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 3.32 indicates CHPX has historically moved more than the broader market, amplifying both the directional payoff and the realized volatility relative to an index-equivalent position. CHPX pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.
What is a butterfly on CHPX?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
Current CHPX snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $101.03, ATM IV 58.90%, expected move 16.89%. The butterfly on CHPX below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 18-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on CHPX specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for CHPX is inferred from ATM IV at 58.90% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 16.89% (roughly $17.06 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CHPX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CHPX should anchor to the underlying notional of $101.03 per share and to the trader's directional view on CHPX etf.
CHPX butterfly setup
The CHPX butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With CHPX near $101.03, the first option leg uses a $95.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CHPX chain at a 18-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 CHPX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $95.00 | $9.60 |
| Sell 2 | Call | $100.00 | $6.45 |
| Buy 1 | Call | $105.00 | $4.35 |

When traders use butterfly on CHPX
Butterflies on CHPX are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect CHPX to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.
CHPX thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CHPX extends from approximately $83.97 on the downside to $118.09 on the upside. A CHPX long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if CHPX settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. As a Financial Services name, CHPX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CHPX-specific events.
CHPX butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. CHPX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CHPX alongside the broader basket even when CHPX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current CHPX chain quotes before placing a trade.
