Adviser also announces latest monthly dividends for BNDS, SCAP, and ICAP ETFs

NEW YORK, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Infrastructure Capital Advisors, LLC (Infrastructure Capital), a leading provider of investment management solutions designed to meet the needs of income-focused investors, is excited to declare its first distribution for the Infrastructure Capital Nasdaq Option Income ETF (QVOL). This actively managed ETF seeks to generate high monthly income by combining options premium strategies with equity exposure to the Nasdaq Composite Index. QVOL has declared a distribution increase by $0.04 from $1.00 to $1.04 per share.

QVOL intends to target an annualized distribution rate range of between 12% and 15% through option premiums earned from selling call options and dividends received from the Fund’s equity holdings. This target range reflects Infrastructure Capital’s expectations based on the options premiums QVOL seeks to generate and the annualized effect of those premiums. There is no assurance QVOL will achieve its target annualized distribution rate range, and the target annualized distribution rate range does not represent a 12% to 15% yield or a 12% to 15% total return. Actual distributions may be higher or lower depending on market conditions and QVOL’s results. Distributions may include a portion classified as return of capital. Return of capital generally represents a return of a shareholder’s invested capital rather than traditional income such as dividends or interest.

QVOL has declared a monthly distribution of $1.04 per share ($12.4 per share on an annualized basis).

QVOL is designed to deliver an attractive income stream through a disciplined options-writing strategy, while maintaining the potential for capital appreciation through selective equity positioning. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities and option contracts tied to the Nasdaq, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative analysis to identify relative value opportunities.

“In the current market environment, investors are seeking consistent income without giving up exposure to growth, particularly in the information technology sector,” said Jay Hatfield, CEO and CIO of Infrastructure Capital Advisors. “QVOL is built to monetize the increased volatility we’ve seen across Nasdaq-listed companies through active options strategies while maintaining the careful and pragmatic approach to portfolio and product construction that Infrastructure Capital has become well known for.”

This new addition to Infrastructure Capital’s suite of dynamic ETFs leverages the firm’s established investment process, including company-level fundamental modeling, valuation-driven price targets, and active volatility management. The firm manages over $3.5 billion in assets as of 04/30/2026 and delivers income-focused investment solutions to their clients.

QVOL joins the Infrastructure Capital ETF lineup, which includes the Virtus InfraCap U.S. Preferred Stock ETF (NYSE Arca: PFFA), InfraCap REIT Preferred ETF (NYSE Arca: PFFR), InfraCap MLP ETF (NYSE Arca: AMZA), the Infrastructure Capital Equity Income ETF (NYSE Arca: ICAP), Infrastructure Capital Small Cap Income ETF (NYSE Arca: SCAP), Infrastructure Capital Bond Income ETF (NYSE Arca: BNDS) and the Infrastructure Capital Preferred Income UCITS ETF (FTSE MIB: PFFI).

Income Investing with Infrastructure Capital

Jay D. Hatfield is the Chief Investment Officer for all of the Infrastructure Capital funds and brings more than 30 years of experience to his work on behalf of clients. As of the date of this release, Infrastructure Capital manages over $3.5B in total assets.

BNDS ETF strategy is to target high yield investments across fixed-income securities, predominately focusing on corporate bonds. Infrastructure Capital seeks positive security selection versus the benchmark by using a mix of quantitative and qualitative analysis with an emphasis on fixed-income securities that are believed to be undervalued when considering factors such as term premium, credit premium, liquidity premium, industry, sector, and market capitalization.

SCAP ETF seeks total return through a blended approach of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund focuses primarily on the securities of U.S.-listed small cap companies, which is defined as companies with a market capitalization within the range of companies in the Russell 2000 Index. Investments may take the form of common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, debt instruments, equity-linked notes, or other small cap-focused ETFs.

ICAP ETF will primarily invest in equity securities of companies with a strong track record of paying dividends during normal market conditions. The Fund’s portfolio of equities will generally be a diversified selection of securities, including a broad cross-section of sectors and sub-sectors, such as REITs, Utilities, Industrials, pipelines, and financials.

About Infrastructure Capital Advisors
Infrastructure Capital Advisors, LLC (ICA) is an SEC-registered investment advisor that manages exchange traded funds (ETFs) and a series of hedge funds. The firm was formed in 2012 and is based in New York City. ICA seeks total-return opportunities driven by catalysts, largely in key infrastructure sectors.

A word about QVOL Risk: 

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with no operating history prior to the date of this Prospectus. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decision. Derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Options transactions involve special risks that may make it difficult or impossible to close a position when the Fund desires. The prices of securities the Adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down, the valuations may never improve or returns on value equity securities may be less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Leverage is investment exposure which exceeds the initial amount invested. When the Fund borrows money for investment purposes, or when the Fund engages in certain derivative transactions, such as options, the Fund may become leveraged. A high portfolio turnover rate (portfolio turnover in excess of 100% of the average value of the Fund’s portfolio) has the potential to result in the realization and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains, which may subject you to a higher tax liability. Please see prospectus for discussion of risks. QVOL fund distributor, Quasar Distributors, LLC.

An investment in the Fund may be subject to risks which include, among others, investing in equities securities, dividend paying securities, utilities, small-, mid- and large-capitalization companies, real estate investment trusts, master limited partnerships, foreign investments and emerging, debt securities, depositary receipts, market events, operational, high portfolio turnover, trading issues, active management, fund shares trading, premium/discount risk and liquidity of fund shares, which may make these investments volatile in price. Foreign investments are subject to risks, which include changes in economic and political conditions, foreign currency fluctuations, changes in foreign regulations, and changes in currency exchange rates which may negatively impact the Fund’s returns. Small and Medium-capitalization companies, foreign investments and high yielding equity and debt securities may be subject to elevated risks.

Sharing opportunities — A New Landscape of Asia-Pacific Development

Published

September 4, 2026

By

BEIJING, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from China.org.cn on Asia-Pacific community:

Combining a bionic eagle-claw gripper with a drone for disaster relief — that is the project Nathapol’s team from Thailand took to the finals of the Lancang-Mekong Countries Science and Technology Innovation Competition.

They spent a year refining and testing it, again and again. Although his team did not ultimately win, when they sat down with other young people from the Lancang-Mekong countries for in-depth exchanges, Nathapol also got a close-up look at innovative projects from other countries, ranging from biomedicine and modern agriculture to information technology. These young people’s ideas, nurtured by events like this, gradually grow into opportunities that could benefit people across the region.

Changes brought by technological progress are playing out in the everyday rhythm of the production line in the smart factory in Thailand. Through cooperation between Chinese and Thai companies, the factory is equipped with full 5G coverage; procedures that once required repeated manual inspection can now be handled by AI-powered visual inspection; and high temperature or the highly repetitive operations can be completed by robotic arms remotely controlled from a mobile phone. Here, technology isn’t simply replacing people on the production line — it has reduced danger and repetitive work.

At Chancay Port in Peru, a member of APEC, such opportunities are reaching even further. A cargo ship sailing out of Chancay Port, loaded with local fresh fruit such as blueberries and avocados, can now reach Shanghai in just 23 days, about 10 days faster than before. For the farmers and exporters, a new port, a new route and shorter shipping times can translate into a larger market, bigger profits, and tangible improvements in their lives.

Inside the port, the changes are equally concrete. Automated quay cranes and yard cranes, self-driving container trucks, and digital twin technology have made Chancay Port’s operations smarter. A new generation of young Peruvians who work at the port, in turn, are learning and honing skills for the “behind the screen era.”

Similar changes are taking place in other countries in the Asia-Pacific.

In Naoero, at nine o’clock in the morning, workers harvest fresh lettuce in a container-based “vegetable factory” built with China’s assistance; an hour and 20 minutes later, a local housewife drops a bag of the produce into her shopping cart. In Naoero, where fresh vegetables have long relied on air-freighted imports, China’s soilless cultivation technology has ultimately taken shape as bags of freshly picked vegetables on kitchen tables, at more affordable prices.

From a young innovator and his project to a smart factory, a port and a shipping route, and to the application of technologies and their coexistence with people, such stories offer a glimpse into the ever-closer ties among Asia-Pacific countries.

In recent years, China has continued to widen market access, advance the development of pilot free trade zones, and further facilitate trade and investment through regional frameworks such as RCEP and the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0. Platforms such as the China International Import Expo, the China International Supply Chain Expo and the China International Consumer Products Expo have likewise opened up more opportunities for global business owners to bring their products to China and connect with potential partners.

China is hosting APEC 2026 under the theme “Building an Asia-Pacific Community to Prosper Together,” with “openness,” “innovation,” and “cooperation” identified as the priorities. Ever-extending connections forged deeper links between markets and people’s lives, enabling more development opportunities to thrive and be shared in this Asia-Pacific community.

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On August 21, TÜV Rheinland Greater China, the international independent testing, inspection and certification organization presented Shenzhen Aputure Imaging Technology Co., Ltd. (“Aputure”) with a life cycle assessment (LCA) certificate for its STORM CS32 studio light at the 2026 Aputure Fan Night.

The certification reflects Aputure’s commitment to environmental responsibility and provides a scientific basis for identifying the stages of a product’s life cycle with the greatest environmental impact, enabling targeted improvements that will guide future product optimization and sustainability management.

Gao Chao, Deputy Director of Aputure’s product center, and Li Qiang, Vice General Manager of Sales at TÜV Rheinland Greater China Electrical, attended the certificate presentation ceremony.

The project moved beyond the conventional approach of evaluating a single production stage. Instead, it applied a “cradle-to-grave” perspective, systematically assessing the studio light across its entire life cycle from raw material extraction, manufacturing, distribution and transportation, through product use, to end-of-life disposal. The assessment pinpointed the key factors and stages where environmental impact is greatest, providing data to support eco-design, process improvement and supply chain optimization.

“Sustainability has become a core imperative for business development,” Gao said. “Receiving this LCA certificate marks an important milestone in our efforts to integrate green principles across the entire research, development and manufacturing of our products. While refining technical performance, we continue to identify opportunities to reduce environmental impact throughout the product life cycle. Going forward, Aputure will advance eco-design, drive continuous innovation and support the industry’s transition toward a green, low-carbon future.”

“The global transition toward green, low-carbon development is accelerating, and sustainability has shifted from an option to a must for enterprises,” Li said. “LCA helps companies understand the composition of their products’ environmental footprint and identify where improvements can be made, moving from isolated green initiatives to systematic capability building. This certification not only recognizes Aputure’s achievements to date. It also marks a new starting point for building full life cycle environmental management capabilities. TÜV Rheinland is honored to have been part of this project, and we look forward to deepening our cooperation to help the professional film and television lighting industry move toward higher-quality, more sustainable growth.”

As a leading global technology service provider, TÜV Rheinland operates specialized laboratories and a global technical network covering safety, electromagnetic compatibility, performance verification and market access for electrical and electronic products. It offers one-stop solutions for photographic equipment, film and television lighting and related products, including testing, certification and assessment spanning product development, testing and certification, and post-market evaluation, helping Chinese lighting products reach global markets.

EaseUS Study Finds Windows Storage Is Shifting from “Bigger Capacity” to “Smarter Space Management” as SSDs Become System Drive Mainstream

NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —  EaseUS Software released the Windows Storage Trends and Insights 2026 H1 report, analyzing storage configurations and usage patterns based on 3.8 million Windows user samples. The study was conducted between February and July 2026, and found that Windows storage is shifting from simply expanding disk capacity to optimizing space allocation and proactively managing risk.

To answer the question of “How do worldwide storage structures look alike?”, EaseUS Lab, with its EaseUS Partition Master R&D and Tech Support teams, examined 6,575,391 internal physical disk drives and identified some key changes in Windows storage structure: SSDs have become the dominant storage medium, accounting for 63.03% of samples and 79.73% of system drives. This transition also indicates a new era focused on disk performance and intelligent space management, outweighing raw disk capacity.

Core Findings: Windows Storage Evolution in Progress

According to this storage report, EaseUS Lab identifies 5 critical storage trends that are reshaping the worldwide Windows storage structure:

1. SSDs Have Become the Mainstream Storage Medium in Windows Devices

SSD drives have become the primary choice for system installations. Over 79.73% of Windows system drives use SSD technology, as users prioritize performance and reliability for operating systems and applications. Meanwhile, HDDs continue to play important roles in high-capacity data storage scenarios.

2. Multi-Drive Configurations Are Expanding in Windows Storage

Over 44.85% of sampled devices are configured with two or more internal disk drives, and about 28.94% of Windows sample devices are two-disk-drive setups. This architecture reflects growing user sophistication in storage allocation: Windows devices are evolving from single-drive to multi-drive configurations, separating systems from data storage to optimize both performance and capacity utilization.

3. The Average Windows Disk Drive Capacity Is Smaller Than 1TB

Despite global storage growth, 83.37% of individual internal sample drives remain smaller than 1TB, with no significant shift toward ultra-high-capacity disks. Over 57.10% of sampled disk drives are staying in the 250GB – 1TB range. This illustrates that major Windows users are not rapidly shifting to ultra-large disk drives. In contrast, mid-range storage remains mainstream for meeting users’ daily demands.

4. C Drive Space Pressure Emerges On Smaller Disks

This storage trends research also uncovered a significant factor: although total storage increases, about 78.35% of C drives remain under 500GB. Among 17.01% of sampled disks, over 641,955 Windows devices are experiencing “C drive full”, “Low Disk Space”, or “C drive turning red” issues with critical low-space conditions of less than 10% free capacity left.  

Also, devices with C drives under 120GB face the highest risk of Low Disk Space, with 31.91% experiencing space pressure issues.

5. Regional Capacity Variations Highlight Diverse Needs

Windows storage preferences also vary significantly by region. European users favor larger disks (500GB-1TB) (29.88%), while North American and Asian users more commonly choose mid-range configurations (250GB-500GB) (28.32% and 32.54%, respectively). These differences may also reveal regional preferences in storage strategies among manufacturers and IT business owners.

Industry Implications: Focusing on Storage Strategy and Disk Lifecycle Management

According to this report, a foresight provided by EaseUS Lab, which says that “the storage industry is shifting from simply relying on storage capacity to a new stage: focusing on storage roles, disk space efficiency, and disk management capabilities.

The report outlines some strategic suggestions for different industrial players:

SSD Manufacturers: Focus on the 120GB – 500GB system drive segment; in this range, SSD upgrade opportunities remain substantial.HDD Manufacturers: Emphasize the value of secondary storage, archiving, and high-capacity data scenarios.PC OEMs: Consider proper system partition space configurations to align advertised capacity with actual usable space.Disk Health & Management Providers: Turn to proactive management and evolve from reactive cleanup tools to practical risk detection and lifecycle management strategies.

Actionable Suggestions for Actual Users

This storage report also provides C drive capacity-based management suggestions and tips for Windows users to apply:

120GB or Smaller C Drives (High Risk): Prioritize proper space allocation – these users should migrate large files to secondary drives and consider SSD upgrades for sustainable solutions.

250GB – 500GB C Drives (Mainstream): Monitor C drive space regularly, separate system and personal data, and leverage multi-drive configurations for optimal organization.

500GB or Larger C Drives (Large Capacity): Emphasize efficient space allocation, flexible partition planning, and long-term disk health monitoring instead of pursuing capacity to eliminate management needs.

How EaseUS Lab Conducted This Storage Insights Report

The Windows Storage Trends and Insights 2026 H1 report was created from 3.8M anonymized telemetry data collected by EaseUS Lab from February 2026 to July 2026. Here is how EaseUS Lab deals with the sample data:

All sensitive information was processed and removed before analysis.The sample data encompasses diverse global Windows users across consumer and enterprise segments.The insights data reflects sample subsets rather than complete global market statistics.
