Written by Amplify ETFs | Oct 27, 2025 3:07:44 PM

The Amplify Samsung SOFR ETF (SOFR) is an actively managed strategy aimed to provide current monthly income. SOFR ETF seeks to closely replicate the performance of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.1

During the third quarter of 2025, the Federal Reserve implemented its first rate cut of the year, lowering the federal funds target range to 4.00%–4.25% at its September meeting. This policy shift reflected signs of a slowing labor market and moderating yet persistent inflation, as the Fed sought to balance rising employment risks against ongoing price pressures. The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), which the Fund seeks to replicate, moved lower in response to the Federal Reserve's rate cut, closing the quarter at 4.24% This modest decline in short-term rates supported steady income generation while maintaining robust liquidity in the funding markets.

Amid this policy transition, the Amplify Samsung SOFR ETF delivered steady performance and consistent monthly income. During the quarter, the Fund's NAV posted a 1.07% return, bringing its year-to-date not annualized gain to 3.23%. We believe these results underscore the Fund’s ability to generate meaningful income and capital stability, reinforcing its role as a cash-equivalent allocation in a shifting interest-rate environment.

Looking ahead, the SOFR ETF remains positioned to capture short-term rate trends while preserving principal stability. With its low-duration structure and active management, the Fund continues to offer investors a reliable source of income potential and lower interest-rate sensitivity. As the Federal Reserve moves cautiously toward potential additional rate cuts, the SOFR ETF is expected to maintain its attractive yield profile and defensive characteristics, reinforcing its role as a core income-oriented allocation.
