HAKY targets 15% or greater annualized option income and capital appreciation via cybersecurity companies
January 21, 2026 – Chicago – Amplify ETFs, leading provider of breakthrough ETF solutions, announces the launch of the Amplify HACK Cybersecurity Covered Call ETF (HAKY). HAKY seeks to balance high income, targeting 15% or greater annualized option premium income, and capital appreciation through investment exposure to cybersecurity companies using a covered call writing strategy.
HAKY intends to invest primarily in the equity securities of the $2 billion Amplify Cybersecurity ETF (HACK) and sell call options on that exposure to generate option premium income. HAKY prioritizes a balanced covered call strategy to pursue income from option premiums and upside participation. HAKY aims to pay monthly distributions that include targeted option premiums. Covered calls in HAKY may provide an income cushion in volatile markets and enhance diversification beyond traditional fixed-income or broad equity income sources.
As cyber threats increase and regulatory requirements shift, demand for cybersecurity solutions is expanding across both public and private sectors, driving sustained investment in cybersecurity infrastructure. The global cybersecurity market is expected to exceed $1 trillion by 2031, growing at an estimated 15% compound annual growth rate, according to industry estimates.1 Structural tailwinds for the sector include increased adoption of artificial intelligence and heightened geopolitical risk.
“Cybersecurity is now mission-critical infrastructure as organizations confront escalating digital threats,” said Christian Magoon, CEO of Amplify ETFs. “HAKY builds on our long-standing HACK exposure with an income-focused approach—aiming to provide investors access to the sector’s growth potential with attractive monthly income potential.”
HAKY is the latest addition to Amplify’s growing YieldSmart™ ETFs suite—a family of advanced covered call options-based ETFs focused on balancing income and capital appreciation.
