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.

CHPX (Global X - AI Semiconductor & Quantum ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management - Global, with a market capitalization of approximately $231.9M, a beta of 3.43 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 49-112, average daily share volume of 92K, 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 3.43 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.

CHPX snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $96.75, ATM IV 39.40%, expected move 11.30%. The long call on CHPX below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this long call structure on CHPX specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for CHPX is inferred from ATM IV at 39.40% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 11.30% (roughly $10.93 on the underlying). The 35-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 $96.75 per share and to the trader's directional view on CHPX etf.
CHPX long call setup
The CHPX long call below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With CHPX at $96.75 on that close, the first option leg uses a $97.00 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 35-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).

CHPX thesis for this long call
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CHPX extends from approximately $85.82 on the downside to $107.68 on the upside. A CHPX long call expresses a directional view that the underlying closes above the strike plus premium at expiration, ideally with implied volatility holding or expanding to preserve extrinsic value through the hold period. 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 long call positions are structurally bullish; 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. Long-premium structures like a long call on CHPX are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome. Always rebuild the position from current CHPX chain quotes before placing a trade.
