Introducing the Amplify LQD Investment Grade 12% Target Income ETF (LQDM) &
Amplify HYG High Yield 10% Target Income ETF (HYGM)
CHICAGO, April 21, 2026 – Amplify ETFs, a leading provider of breakthrough ETF solutions, announces the launch of two new fixed income ETFs: the Amplify LQD Investment Grade 12% Target Income ETF (CBOE: LQDM) and the Amplify HYG High Yield 10% Target Income ETF (CBOE: HYGM). LQDM and HYGM are designed to deliver high targeted income and attractive total return potential by combining systematic weekly covered call strategies with diversified investment‑grade and high‑yield bond exposure.
LQDM and HYGM seek to generate income through a combination of option premiums and bond interest, targeting 12% and 10% annualized income, respectively. By utilizing short-dated weekly options, the funds aim to create more frequent opportunities to collect premiums and adjust coverage while maintaining exposure to their underlying bond markets.
These launches expand Amplify’s fixed income covered call offerings, joining the existing Amplify TLT U.S. Treasury 12% Option Income ETF (TLTP), which has a 13.56% distribution rate and a 4.39% SEC yield as of 3/31/26.1
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Distributions may include income, capital gains, or return of capital and may change during the year. Details are provided in the Fund’s Form 19a‑1.
“Income generation in fixed income is developing beyond traditional bond strategies,” said Christian Magoon, CEO of Amplify ETFs. “As traditional fixed income alone may fall short of investors’ evolving needs, LQDM and HYGM complement our TLTP ETF by introducing differentiated approaches. By pairing options strategies with investment‑grade and high‑yield bond exposures, these funds expand how investors can seek income within fixed income allocations.”
Both funds join Amplify ETFs’ YieldSmart™ suite, a family of advanced covered call options-based ETFs focused on balancing income and capital appreciation.

There is no guarantee that the Funds will meet their investment objectives or Target Income. The Funds are not actively managed and the Fund’s return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the Indexes. The Funds are non diversified and may be concentrated, which can increase volatility. The Funds are subject to market risk, interest rate risk, inflation risk, credit risk, and underlying funds risk. LQDM has risks associated with corporate bonds and high yield securities. HYGM has risks associated with high yield corporate bonds and high yield securities. Rising interest rates generally reduce the value of fixed income investments.
Covered call strategies may limit upside potential while still exposing the Funds to downside risk. Covered puts can incur substantial losses if the underlying asset rises sharply, with premiums offering limited protection. The use of FLEX Options and other derivatives involves additional risks. Monthly distributions may include return of capital, which lowers the investor’s cost basis and could result in higher loss.
