DIVO Commentary April 2026

Download PDF

 

Following a period of heightened volatility in March, markets regained momentum in April, demonstrating resilience as major indices advanced and the S&P 500 Index reached a new all-time high. Investor sentiment improved as attention shifted toward stabilizing influences, including a continued stretch of solid earnings results and a ceasefire agreement in the Iran conflict. Robust earnings helped ease concerns around elevated valuations for certain companies, while easing geopolitical tensions contributed to a moderation in volatility, which peaked in late March. At the same time, oil prices, including WTI and Brent, retraced from recent highs. While geopolitical and policy-related uncertainties remain and could reintroduce volatility if conditions deteriorate, recent market action suggests investors are increasingly weighing these risks against supportive fundamentals and a still-evolving macro backdrop.

OVERALL MORNINGSTAR™ RATING
⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑
Based on risk adjusted returns among 82 funds in the Derivative Income category (as of 3/31/26)

During the month of April, the Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (DIVO) returned 2.58% (NAV), while the benchmark, the S&P 500 Index returned 10.49%. DIVO has returned 4.56% year-to-date (YTD) while the S&P 500 Index returned 5.70% YTD. The Fund has modestly underperformed the benchmark, driven primarily by the magnitude of the broader equity market rally off the lows, which tends to limit relative returns for covered call strategies. The underperformance can also be attributed to being structurally underweight in the Information Technology sector relative to the S&P 500 given the fund's focus on dividend paying companies. The Information Technology sector was a key contributor to the S&P 500 performance for the month. The sectors that contributed most to performance were Financials (+6.26%) and Industrials (+9.36%), while Health Care (-4.96%) and Consumer Discretionary (-2.45%) were key detractors to Fund return.1 Positions that contributed the most were Caterpillar Inc (CAT), Microsoft Corp (MSFT), and Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS). The biggest detractors were RTX Corp (RTX) and Chevron Corp (CVX).

 

During the month, the Fund exited positions in Meta Platforms (META) and Medtronic (MDT); new positions in Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) and Archer-Daniels-Midland Co (ADM) were initiated. During the month calls were written against Walmart Inc (WMT), Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd (AEM), RTX Corp (RTX), American Express Co (AXP), Medtronic PLC (MDT), Caterpillar (CAT), Microsoft (MSFT) and Marathon Petroleum (MPC) at partial coverage.

 

The fund ended the month with 7 calls2 sold against positions in the fund.

Index Definitions: All indexes are unmanaged and it’s not possible to invest directly in an index. S&P 500 Total Return Index—market-capitalization-weighted index of the 500 largest U.S. publicly traded companies by market value, and assumes distributions are reinvested back into the index. It does not include fees or expenses. CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is a measure of implied volatility, based on the prices of a basket of S&P 500 Index options with 30 days to expiration.

1All percentages shown indicate total return of the sector for the month. 2A covered call refers to a financial transaction in which the investor selling call options owns an equivalent amount of the underlying security. 

THIS MATERIAL MUST BE PROCEDED OR ACCOMPANIED BY A FUND PROSPECTUS. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved. Covered call risk is the risk that the Fund will forgo, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. The Fund may invest in mid-capitalization companies. This may cause the Fund to be more vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments because such securities may be less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than those of larger, more established companies. Because the Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund.

The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete, or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. DIVO received 5 stars among 82 funds in the Derivative Income category for the overall, 4 stars among 82 funds for the 3-year, and 5 stars among 66 funds for the 5-year periods ending 3/31/26.
