Three Trends to Know. One of the few certainties of investing is that markets don’t like uncertainty. And one of the biggest uncertainties always surrounds elections and their potential impact on the market outlook. Sometimes that impact is significant, sometimes less so, but it is often very difficult to forecast accurately.

August 14, 2024 – Chicago, IL—Amplify ETFs, a leading provider of exchange traded funds, today announced the scheduled liquidation of three ETFs (the “Funds”).

Blockchain: No More Lines at the DMV BLOK closed July with a positive NAV return of 3.52% and YTD performance of positive 22.83% (see standardized performance). Then August hit, and market volatility erupted. This, of course, has had a negative effect on the price action of Bitcoin, ETF flows, and many of the stocks in the portfolio that tend to be high beta. However, while the correction in price is a challenge to watch, it does not change the momentum of the infrastructure buildout in Blockchain or, according to our research, the long-term trend around Bitcoin adoption.

New growth-oriented covered call ETF seeks to lower volatility and pay high current income on a monthly basis.
