Key Takeaways: 

 

  • Eyes on Japan: there is excitement regarding Japan’s new prime minister, possibly more deficit spending and a potentially bullish economy. IDVO tends to be overweight in Japan.
  • Global and European Money Center Banks are increasingly viewed just as interesting as their U.S. counterparts. Recent earnings reports from some of the biggest banks across Europe strengthen our conviction that these institutions are core long-term holdings in the portfolio.
  • U.S. market concentration risks: while the U.S. market’s growth has arguably been heavily influenced by a handful of major tech companies, this may pose volatility and concentration risks. International investing can potentially help diversify portfolios and allow investors opportunities to pursue similar growth themes globally.

This and other information can be found in the Fund’s statutory and summary prospectuses, which may be obtained at AmplifyETFs.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the Fund.  There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved.

The Fund is subject to management risk because it is actively managed. 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.

Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic, and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Investments in emerging market issuers are subject to a greater risk of loss than investments in issuers located or operating in more developed markets.

There is no guarantee that a company will pay or continually increase its dividends. The Fund intends to estimate annual income and pay in monthly installments. In doing so, some portion of the distribution could be considered a return of capital for tax purposes.

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.
