Chicago, May 29, 2025—Amplify ETFs announces May income distributions for its income ETFs.

Distribution rates for BAGY: 32.25%, and BITY: 25.62% achieve stated expectations

COMMENTARY The equity market rally that began in mid-April continued into May as progress on tariff negotiations, or delays on implementation, gave investors hope that the worst was behind. By mid-May, the S&P 500 had not only recovered its earlier losses but also turned positive for the year, ultimately notching the best returns for May since 1992. The CBOE Volatility Index (a measure of uncertainty in the equity markets) continued to fall throughout the month as well, underpinning an increasing level of optimism for investors though many remain watchful of developments in trade policy and economic indicators that may influence market trajectories in the coming weeks and months.

The month brought a mix of encouraging developments including trade agreement progress alongside persistent concerns about America's fiscal position.
