CHICAGO, Oct. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amplify ETFs announces the launch of the Amplify Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Target High Income ETF (CBOE: TLTP). TLTP allows investors to tap into the stability of U.S. Treasuries while seeking to generate high, consistent levels of income through a dynamic rules-based covered call* option strategy.
TLTP seeks to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury 20+ Year 12% Premium Covered Call 2.0 Index, which is designed to provide a targeted annualized option premium income of 12% through writing weekly covered call options. This approach seeks to generate higher levels of income from targeted 12% option premium income as well as the underlying U.S. Treasuries. The Fund has a monthly distribution frequency.
"Investors are increasingly seeking diversified income streams and portfolio stability," said Christian Magoon, CEO of Amplify ETFs. "TLTP’s innovative use of a weekly covered call strategy in fixed income offers a multi-use solution for consistent high-income potential and a defensive position, making it a compelling option for a range of portfolio strategies."
The portfolio management team from Samsung Asset Management in New York brings extensive experience in managing U.S. Treasury and options strategies.
"TLTP offers an effective way for investors to access a fixed income covered call strategy from U.S. Treasuries through a single ticker," said Yunjae Hwang, lead portfolio manager of TLTP. "We’re excited to bring this solution to the market, especially for those looking for a more diversified and resilient approach to their portfolios."
TLTP is Amplify ETFs' second ETF with its strategic partner Samsung Asset Management.

Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund’s statutory and summary prospectuses, which may be obtained at AmplifyETFs.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved. Interest Rate Risk is the risk when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Conversely, very low or negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with the Underlying Funds specifically U.S. Treasury Securities Risk. The Fund bears its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses.
The Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in individual securities than a diversified fund; changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a diversified fund. Covered call risk is the risk that the Fund will forgo, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call, but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. The Fund will also utilize FLEX Options and is subject to the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. The Fund currently expects to make distributions on a regular basis, a portion of which may be considered return of capital.
Amplify Investments LLC is the Investment Adviser to the Fund, and Samsung Asset Management (New York), Inc. serves as the Investment Sub-Adviser.
Amplify ETFs are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC.
