Overview

Why Invest in BAGY ETF?

  1. Max Income Focus: BAGY seeks 30%-60% annualized option premium1 and Bitcoin price appreciation potential up to 5% each week.
  2. 4x More Options: BAGY uses weekly call options seeking to collect premiums 4x more often than monthly options, enabling the potential for compounded income and enhanced Bitcoin price returns.
  3. Harvest Volatility: When Bitcoin price volatility rises, BAGY’s option income potential increases, using volatility to help enhance premium income and total returns.

Objective & Strategy

The Amplify Bitcoin Max Income Covered Call ETF (BAGY) seeks to maximize current income through a covered call strategy tied to the investment exposure to the price return of Bitcoin. BAGY seeks 30-60% annualized option premium, while also offering upside potential, by leveraging weekly options-writing techniques to harness volatility associated with the price of Bitcoin, transforming it into valuable income opportunities.

The Fund does not invest directly in Bitcoin. The annualized option premium may be significantly higher or lower than the stated range. Beyond the first 5% increase each week the Fund would not participate in the upside.

YieldSmart™ ETFs

BAGY is part of Amplify’s YieldSmart™ suite, a family of investment solutions designed to balance attractive monthly option-based income with long-term capital appreciation, all in pursuit of compelling total return potential for today’s income investor.

1An option premium is the cost an option buyer pays to the seller for the right to trade an asset at a set price within a certain period.

2OTM means calls are written using an out of the money strategy.

Investing involves risk and possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the investment strategy will be successful. The Fund is considered to be non-diversified. The Fund is actively managed and its performance reflects the investment decisions that the Adviser makes for the Fund.

The Fund faces risks by investing in Bitcoin through the Bitcoin ETP and Bitcoin ETP Options, as bitcoin is a new and highly speculative investment. The market for Bitcoin is volatile and subject to rapid changes, regulatory actions, and numerous challenges to widespread adoption. Issues such as slow transaction processing, variable fees, and price volatility further increase these risks.

There is a lack of consensus regarding the regulation of digital assets, including Bitcoin, and their markets. Trading in shares of a Bitcoin ETP on U.S. securities exchanges may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of an exchange, make trading in shares of the Bitcoin ETP inadvisable.

Writing covered call options on the Bitcoin ETP might result in missed gains if the security’s value exceeds the strike price plus premium, and expose the Fund to losses if the security’s price falls.

Option contract prices are volatile and affected by changes in the underlying asset’s value, interest or currency rates, and expected volatility, all of which are influenced by political, fiscal, and monetary policies.

The Fund may use FLEX Options, which can be less liquid than standardized options. This may make it difficult to close out FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices.

With covered call risk, the Fund might miss out on profits if the security’s value rises above the option’s premium and strike price while still facing potential losses if the value declines.

With covered put risk, significant stock price increases can lead to substantial losses on your short position. The premium provides some income but may not fully offset the loss if the stock rallies unexpectedly.

The Fund currently expects to make distributions on a monthly basis, a portion of which may be considered return of capital. Distributions classified as return of capital, which may include option premiums, dividends, capital gains, and interest, reduce an investor’s cost basis in Fund shares. This can result in higher future taxes upon sale, even if shares are sold at a loss relative to the original investment.
