Amplify HACK Cybersecurity Covered Call 

The Amplify HACK Cybersecurity Covered Call ETF (HAKY) employs a two-pronged investment strategy, blending a thematic equity focus with an income-generating options overlay. The fund primarily allocates its capital to the same cybersecurity companies found within the Amplify Cybersecurity ETF. These companies are carefully selected for deriving a substantial portion of their income from offering cybersecurity products and services, encompassing both foundational infrastructure and direct service providers. To generate current income, HAKY systematically sells exchange-traded covered call options. These options generally have short durations, often expiring in less than a month, and are written against the fund's individual stock holdings or, at times, against the underlying cybersecurity ETF itself. The premiums received from these option sales are intended to support regular monthly distributions to investors. However, the exact payout amounts may vary, and a portion could be categorized as a return of capital. By selling these call options, the fund's potential to benefit from stock price increases above the option strike prices is limited, in exchange for the ongoing income stream. Under specific market conditions, the fund has the flexibility to utilize covered call spreads, a strategy designed to capture more upside potential in its equity holdings while still producing net income from its options trading activities.
