Amplify ETFs has launched one of the most remarkable additions to its income-generating fund family: the Amplify CWP Growth and Income ETF (NYSE Arca: QDVO). This pioneering ETF will strike a balance between capital appreciation and strong income generation. QDVO will invest in growth-oriented U.S. equities and employ a covered call strategy in pursuit of significant growth potential and steady income streams for investors.

Introduction of QDVO

The Amplify CWP Growth and Income ETF seeks a high total return with an emphasis on capital appreciation and income. The ETF is taken to large-cap, growth-oriented U.S. equities and incorporates a tactical covered call writing strategy to enhance income. Covered calls entail selling call options against the fund's existing stock holdings to generate additional income from the sale of options.

QDVO joins Amplify's broadening suite of income-focused ETFs, including the highly rated Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (NYSE Arca: DIVO) and the Amplify CWP International Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (NYSE Arca: IDVO), all of these employ related investment strategies that, through tactical covered call writing and dividends, seek enhanced income.

2. Generation of Income: The ETF will be targeting an annual income rate of 6% to 8% to the investor, which is made up of around 4-6% from option premiums and another up to 2% from dividends. This strategy shall offer the investors a steady income stream with the maintenance of the core holding in the growth stock, balancing high income with capital appreciation.
3. Portfolio Construction: QDVO invests in an underlying portfolio of 20-40 large-cap U.S. stocks. The security selection is concentrated on companies with strong earnings, cash flow, return on equity, and solid management. The diversified sector allocation under the ETF is meant to enhance risk-adjusted returns while minimizing sector-specific volatility.
4. Management and Fees: Mgmt. and Fees Actively managed by Capital Wealth Planning (CWP), the expert hands behind strategic adjustments and oversight push the ETF toward potential performance improvements.
