In this episode of ETF Spotlight, I speak with Christian Magoon, founder & CEO of Amplify ETFs, about strategies for investors seeking income and growth.
The Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (DIVO – Free Report) has significantly outperformed the broader indexes and doubled its assets this year. Its managers pick about 25 high-quality large-cap companies with a history of dividend growth, and then write covered calls on individual stocks for extra income.
DIVO’s current distribution rate is close to 5%. Blue-chip stocks like UnitedHealth Group (UNH – Free Report) , Microsoft (MSFT – Free Report) and McDonald’s (MCD – Free Report) are its top holdings.
The Amplify International Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (IDVO – Free Report) follows the same approach as DIVO but using international stocks. The Amplify Natural Resources Dividend Income ETF (NDIV – Free Report) comes with a 9.4% distribution rate.
The Amplify Lithium & Battery Technology ETF (BATT – Free Report) and the Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (BLOK – Free Report) have been out-of-favor this year. Should investors look at these beaten-down areas now?
As the transition to electric vehicles accelerates, battery demand is soaring, amid concerns about shortages. BATT owns a basket of green energy mining, battery tech and electric vehicle companies. Tesla (TSLA – Free Report) is among its top holdings.
Crypto-related stock ETFs have taken a beating this year. BLOK, the largest blockchain ETF, is down about 60% year-to-date. What does FTX implosion mean for blockchain companies?
Tune in to the podcast to learn more about these ETFs.
