Amplify ETFs Earns Four Nominations for With Intelligence Mutual Fund and ETF Awards

Innovative ETF provider recognized for their industry leadership and creativity

Amplify ETFs, a leading provider of innovative exchange-traded funds, is proud to announce its nominations in four categories at this year's With Intelligence Mutual Fund and ETF Awards.

Amplify funds are being recognized in the following categories:

• ETF Innovation of the Year: Amplify Samsung SOFR ETF (SOF) - the first ETF aimed to deliver the closely-watched Secured Overnight Financing Rate yield to investors.
• Digital Assets ETF of the Year: Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (BLOK) - the first actively-managed ETF focused on companies involved in blockchain and crypto.
• Thematic ETF of the Year: Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (BLOK)
• Fund Leader of the Year: Christian Magoon, Founder & CEO, Amplify ETFs

Amplify remains proactive in seeking out and capitalizing on opportunities to broaden its range of products and market presence. In 2023, Amplify ETFs entered into a definitive agreement to purchase 14 ETFs holding $3.6 billion from another US based ETF Sponsor. That acquisition closed in January of 2024. In addition, the firm recently launched the first index-based ETF to target weight loss drug and treatment stocks (THNR). 

"Being shortlisted for these awards is an incredible honor after an eventful year filled with pursuing a major acquisition and launching new funds," said Magoon. "The recognition highlights our hard work and ongoing commitment to provide valuable products to investors and advisors. We are motivated to continue pioneering innovative developments in ETFs."

The winners of the With Intelligence Mutual Fund and ETF Awards will be announced on June 18 in New York City.
