C000264403 Investment Objective and Strategy
Amplify Ethereum 3% Monthly Option Income ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Amplify ETF Trust.
Investment objective
The Amplify Ethereum 3% Monthly Option Income ETF seeks to balance high income and capital appreciation through investment exposure to the price return of ether and a covered call strategy.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund seeks to participate in the price return of ether (Ether Price) and to generate a high level of annualized option premium by selling options on U.S. -regulated ETFs that provide price exposure to ether (Ethereum ETPs). As further described below, the Fund expects to sell call options that are approximately 5 -10 % out of the money, with targeted maturities of one week or less, on Ethereum ETPs that hold ether directly (Ethereum Spot ETFs) and/or Ethereum ETPs that derive exposure to ether through investments in exchange -traded futures contracts that utilize ether as a reference asset (Ethereum Futures ETFs). The Fund will seek to vary its option selling each week to a level sufficient to generate 36% annualized option premium (the Target Option Premium), based upon the NAV of the Fund each time the Fund sells the weekly options contracts.
Please note that there is no guarantee the Fund will achieve the Target Option Premium in any given investment period. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the Fund will make a distribution in any given period. While the Fund seeks to generate the Target Option Premium, the actual premium earned during a one -year period will depend on the NAV of the Fund each time the Fund sells the weekly option contracts. Therefore, the actual premium income generated over a one -year period could be higher or lower than the Target Option Premium, depending on changes in the Funds NAV over time. If the NAV of the Fund remains level or decreases during any one -year period, the annualized premium generated by the Fund may be significantly less than the Target Option Premium for that time period. The Target Option Premium is not a projection or guarantee of the Funds future performance or total return.
The Fund expects to make distributions from the income generated from its call writing strategy, if any, on a monthly basis. Amplify Investments LLC (Amplify Investments or the Adviser) serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. Kelly Strategic Management, LLC (doing business as Kelly Intelligence) (Kelly Intelligence) and Penserra Capital Management LLC (Penserra, together with Kelly Intelligence, the Sub -Advisers ) serve as investment sub -advisers to the Fund. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that provide exposure to the Ether Price. The Funds holdings are described below: Principal Holdings Portfolio Holdings Investment Description Expected Maturity Long Exposure Shares of Ethereum Spot ETFs A portion of the Funds long exposure to the Ether Price will come through the Fund owning shares of the Ethereum Spot ETFs.
N/A Ethereum ETP Options The Fund will use options that reference an Ethereum Spot ETF and/or Ethereum Futures ETF (each, an Ethereum ETP Option and collectively, the Ethereum ETP Options) for synthetic exposure to the corresponding Ethereum ETP. The Fund may use the combination of purchasing call options and selling put options generally in the same amount, at the same strike price with the same expiration or may purchase an in -the-money call option. This synthetically creates the upside and downside participation in the Ether Price, as represented by the Ethereum ETP. 1 year or less Covered Call Writing Ethereum ETP Options Call options are sold on corresponding Ethereum Spot ETFs or Ethereum Futures ETFs approximately 5 -10 % out -of-the-money (i.e. the strike price is above the strike price of the corresponding sold call) to generate an annualized premium of 36%.
The Fund will vary the percentage of its portfolio on which it sells options in order to achieve this level of premium. One week or less U.S. Treasuries U.S Treasuries and Cash Multiple series of U.S. Treasury Bills supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. These instruments are used as collateral for the Ethereum ETP Options. 1 -month to 2 -year maturities Ether Price Exposure . The Fund will obtain investment exposure to the Ether Price by investing in Ether Spot ETFs that provide investment exposure to the Ether Price or by buying and selling a combination of Ethereum ETP Options that reference an Ethereum Spot ETF and/or Ethereum Futures ETF. Ethereum Spot ETFs are exchange -traded investment products not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), that reflect the price of ether, before fees and expenses, by purchasing and storing ether in a digital vault (a secure, institutional -grade storage solution used to safeguard the Ethereum assets backing the Ethereum Spot ETF) and issuing exchange -listed shares that correspond to the price of ether it holds and trade intra -day on a national securities exchange.
Ethereum Spot ETFs are passively managed and their sponsors do not actively manage the exposure to ether held by the Ethereum Spot ETF. Ethereum Futures ETFs are exchange -traded investment products registered under the 1940 Act that seek investment results that correspond to the performance of ether primarily through investments in ether futures contracts. Ethereum Futures ETFs are actively managed and invest in ether futures contracts in order to gain price exposure to ether. Additional information regarding the Ethereum ETPs is available in Additional Information Regarding the Funds Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund expects to invest in shares of the Ethereum Spot ETFs indirectly through a wholly -owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the Subsidiary).
Except as noted herein, for purposes of this Prospectus, references to the Funds investment strategies and risks include those of the Subsidiary. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (RIC) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), the size of the Funds investment in the Subsidiary will not exceed 25% of the Funds total assets at each quarter end of the Funds fiscal year. See Cayman Subsidiary below for additional information. In addition to its investments in Ethereum Spot ETFs, the Fund expects to also obtain exposure to the Ether Price by buying and selling a combination of Ethereum ETP Options that reference an Ethereum Spot ETF and/or an Ethereum Futures ETF. In general, put options give the holder (i.e., the buyer) the right to sell an asset (or deliver the cash value of the asset, in case of certain put options) and the seller (i.e., the writer) of the put has the obligation to buy the asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in case of certain put options) at a certain defined price (the strike price).
Call options give the holder (i.e., the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e., the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined strike price. The Funds options exposure to the Ethereum ETPs is considered to be synthetic. The synthetic exposure may be created through the combination of purchasing call options and selling put options generally in the same amount, at the same strike price with the same expiration. This combination synthetically creates the upside and downside participation in the Ether Price, as represented by the Ethereum ETP. The Fund will primarily gain exposure to increases in value experienced by the Ethereum ETP through the purchase of call options.
As a buyer of these options, the Fund pays a premium to the seller of the options. The Fund will primarily gain exposure to decreases in the Ether Price experienced by the Ethereum ETP through the sale of put options. As the seller of these options, the Fund receives a premium from the buyer of the options. In combination, the purchased call and sold put options generally provide exposure to the Ether Price both on the upside and downside. Alternatively, the Fund may purchase an in -the-money call option to synthetically participate in the upside and downside participation in the Ether Price as represented by the Ethereum ETP. Target Option Premium . The Fund seeks to generate the Target Option Premium by selling Ethereum ETP Options contracts. The Fund will target options contracts with a one week or less expiration.
The Fund sells call option contracts at approximately 5 -10 % above the then -current value of an Ethereum ETP, also known as out -of-the-money . In seeking to obtain the Target Option Premium, the Fund varies the size of the written call option contract attributable to the Ethereum ETP in order to generate this sought -after Target Option Premium based upon the NAV of the Fund at the time the Fund writes the call options. Factors that impact the amount of premium generated in a written call option contract include: (i) time to expiration; (ii) strike price; and (iii) volatility of the underlying asset. The Fund sells new call option contracts each week that seek the Target Option Premium upon the expiration of its sold option contract. The amount of the portfolio that the Fund writes options on will vary depending on a variety of factors, but under normal circumstances, the Fund expects to write options on 60% or less of its portfolio.
By selling out -of-the-money call options, the Fund will participate in any gains of the Ether Price up to the strike price of the sold call option contract and will forfeit any of the upside market appreciation (if any) experienced by the Ethereum ETP for which the options are written in exchange for premium received. This strategy effectively converts a portion of the potential upside Ether Price return growth into current income. In a traditional covered call strategy, an investor (such as the Fund) writes a call option on a security it owns. However, the Fund expects to derive exposure to Ethereum ETPs through the use of Ethereum ETP Options that use the Ethereum ETPs as the reference asset. This distinction causes the Funds strategy to be commonly referred to as a synthetic covered call strategy as opposed to a traditional covered call strategy, because the Fund expects to have synthetic exposure to the Ether Price through Ethereum ETP Options.
The Fund retains the flexibility to employ either the traditional covered call strategy or the synthetic covered call strategy. While the Fund seeks to generate the Target Option Premium, the actual premium earned during a one -year period will depend on the NAV of the Fund at the time the options are sold. Therefore, the actual premium income generated over a one -year period could be higher or lower than the Target Option Premium, depending on changes in the Funds NAV over time. If the NAV of the Fund remains level or decreases during any one -year period, the annualized premium generated by the Fund may be significantly less than the Target Option Premium for that time period. See Option Contracts Risk Call Option Strategy Risk and Target Option Premium Risk below for additional risks associated with the Funds call option writing strategy.
Notwithstanding any distributions of premium income or the realization of the Funds options strategies, shareholders may still experience losses if the Funds investment exposure to Ethereum ETPs performs poorly. Further, achieving the Target Option Premium does not guarantee that shareholders will realize a profit or avoid a loss. The Fund currently expects to make distributions on a monthly basis, a portion of which may be considered return of capital. Distributions in excess of the Funds current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital. Return of capital reduces a shareholders costs basis in the Funds shares and will reduce the Funds NAV per share. The Fund expects that distributions will be comprised primarily of amounts attributable to the Target Option Premium.
