CHICAGO, Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amplify ETFs, a leading provider of breakthrough ETF solutions, announces the filing for the Amplify HACK Cybersecurity Covered Call ETF (HAKY).
The Amplify HACK Cybersecurity Covered Call ETF seeks to balance high income and capital appreciation through investment exposure to cybersecurity companies and a covered call strategy. The Fund intends to invest primarily in the equity securities in the Amplify Cybersecurity ETF (HACK) and sell call options on that exposure to generate option premium income. The Fund’s covered call strategy seeks to generate approximately 15% or greater annualized gross income from premiums received from selling option contracts (i.e., aims to achieve approximately 15% or more in annual gross income from premiums received), however the amount of income generated by the Fund’s implementation of the covered call option strategy will vary based on factors such as market prices, volatility and interest rates.
“The cybersecurity sector continues to represent one of the most important and resilient growth stories in technology,” said Christian Magoon, CEO of Amplify ETFs. “With the filing of HAKY, we’re building on the strong foundation of our first-to-market cybersecurity ETF, HACK, while providing enhanced income potential by applying our YieldSmart™ options-based approach.”
Pending regulatory approval, HAKY will join Amplify’s growing suite of YieldSmart™ ETFs, a lineup of advanced covered call options-based ETFs spanning the cryptocurrency, commodity, and equity sectors.

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
The principal risks of investing in the Funds are summarized below. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Funds. There is no guarantee the investment strategy will be successful. The Funds are considered to be non-diversified. The Funds are actively managed and its performance reflects the investment decisions that the Adviser makes for the Funds.
Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. The fund is concentrated in technology-related companies that face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on profit margins. Such companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of such companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates, competition for the services of qualified personnel, and competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
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 Funds currently expect 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. There is no guarantee that distributions will be made.
