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.

- 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.
- 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.
