Investment objective & strategy
As of Jan. 28, 2026 · prospectusObjective. The Amplify TLT U.S. Treasury 12% Option Income ETF seeks investment results that generally correspond to the performance (before fees and expenses) of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury 20+ Year 12% Premium Covered Call 2.0 Index (the Index).
Strategy. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities that are representative of the Index. As further described below, the Fund seeks to receive a targeted annualized option premium income of 12% (the Target Option Premium) through the implementation of the Index investments in the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (the Underlying ETF) and selling one -week expiration, at -the-money call option contracts that references the Underlying ETF. The Fund expects to make distributions of income from its investment in the Underlying ETF and the Target Option Premium on a regular basis.

As further described below, the Fund seeks to receive a targeted annualized option premium income of 12% (the Target Option Premium) through the implementation of the Index investments in the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (the Underlying ETF) and selling one -week expiration, at -the-money call option contracts that references the Underlying ETF. The Fund expects to make distributions of income from its investment in the Underlying ETF and the Target Option Premium on a regular basis. Amplify Investments LLC is the investment adviser to the Fund (Amplify or the Adviser) and Samsung Asset Management (New York), Inc., serves as the investment sub -adviser to the Fund (Samsung or the Sub -Adviser ). Bloomberg Index Services Limited (the Index Provider) developed and maintains the Index. The Index Provider is not affiliated with the Fund, the Adviser, or the Sub -Adviser . The Index measures the performance of holding the Underlying ETF and a written (sold) one -week expiration, at -the-money call option contract that references the Underlying ETF and generates the Target Option Premium. The Index is comprised of two components: (i) the Underlying ETF and (ii) a sold call option contract referencing the Underlying ETF that seeks to provide the Target Option Premium. The Underlying ETF tracks the investment results of the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index, which measures the performance of public obligations of the U.S. Treasury that have a remaining maturity greater than or equal to twenty years. See Additional Information About the Funds Strategies and Risks Underlying ETF. There is no assurance that the Index or the Fund will successfully achieve the Target Option Premium in accordance with its investment objective. Target Option Premium. The Index is designed to provide the Target Option Premium through the implementation of written (sold) call option contracts on the Underlying ETF with weekly expirations. An option contract gives the purchaser of the option, in exchange for the premium paid, the right to purchase (for a call option) the underlying asset at a specified price (the strike price) on a specified date (the expiration date). A call option contract gives the seller of the call option contract ( i.e. , the writer) the obligation to sell, in exchange for a premium received, a specified amount of an underlying security at a pre -determined price if the holder of the option contract exercises the option. The Index sells call option contracts with an expiration date of one -week that have strike prices at the then -current value of the Underlying ETF, also known as at -the-money . In seeking to the Target Option Premium, the Index varies the size of the written call option contract that is attributable to the Underlying ETF in order to generate this sought -after Target Option Premium. Factors that impact the amount of premium generated in a written call option contract include: (i) time to expiration; (ii) strike price; and (iii) volatility of the underlying asset. The Index rebalances its sold call option contract each week upon the expiration of its sold option contract by selling a new call option contract that seeks the Target Option Premium. The Fund intends to sell call FLexible EXchange Options (FLEX Options) that reference the Underlying ETF. The Fund will match the strike price (at -the-money ), expiration dates (one -week ), and notional exposure to the Underlying ETF in its sold call option contracts to generate the same premiums as the options sold by the Index. As further described below, by selling at -the-money call options, the Index will forfeit any of the upside market appreciation (if any) experienced by the Underlying ETF for which the options are written in exchange for premium received. Option contracts can either be American style or European style. The Index and the Fund utilize European style option contracts, which may only be exercised by the holder of the option contract on the expiration date of such option contract and settled in cash. Therefore, if the price of the Underlying ETF exceeds the strike price, and the option contract is exercised, the Fund will be obligated to deliver the cash value of the difference between the then current price of the Underlying ETF and the strike price for the number of shares contemplated by the option contract. Underling ETF Investment Exposure. The Fund seeks to provide exposure to the market performance and investment income provided by an investment in the Underlying ETF. The Fund expects to implement its investment in the Underlying ETF by holding a representative sampling of securities that comprise the Index. A representative sampling strategy seeks to replicate the returns of the Index, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return, and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return, and other characteristics of the Index as a whole. In seeking to replicate the returns holding the Underlying ETF, in addition to the holding the Underlying ETF, the Fund may also invest directly in U.S. Treasuries that provides substantially the same investment performance of the Underlying ETF. The Funds portfolio managers expect the mix of Underlying ETF and direct holdings of U.S. Treasuries will be dependent on pricing that may be advantageous to the Fund. It is anticipated that ordinarily the notional exposure of the sold call option contracts will be covered by the Funds direct holding of the Underlying ETF. Due to the Funds use of representative sampling, under certain market circumstances, the Fund may hold more or fewer shares of the Underlying ETF than contemplated in the corresponding sold call option contract. Accordingly, a portion of such sold call option contract may be uncovered. An option is considered uncovered when the holder does not have a direct position with which to fill the terms of the option contract should the counterparty exercise their right to the option. To the extent the Fund sells any call option contracts that are uncovered, it will directly hold U.S. Treasuries with substantially the same investment exposure as the Underlying ETF which it will utilize to cover any losses experienced by its sold call option contract that exceed its holdings of the Underlying ETF. Under certain market circumstances, up to 50% of the Funds sold option contracts may be uncovered ( i.e. , the Fund will directly hold U.S. Treasuries to cover the Funds sold options). The Funds ability to use the sale of its holdings of U.S. Treasuries to make payment on the sold option obligations is not guaranteed. See Option Contracts RiskCall Option Strategy Risk below for additional risks associated with the Funds call option writing strategy. In following the Index strategy of selling call option contracts and receiving a premium payment, the Fund, as a writer of the option, will effectively forego the upside market returns of the portion of Underlying ETF holdings in which it writes options that is beyond the strike price of each sold call option contract. Because the Index utilizes at -the-money call options, if market conditions are such all of the Funds Underlying ETF holdings are used to cover the sold call option, the Index will forego all upside potential of the Underlying ETF. If market conditions are such that the Index does not need write options contracts on all of the Funds Underlying ETF holdings to produce its Target Option Premium, the Fund will experience some, but not all, of the upside returns of the Underlying ETF (if any). The Fund will not participate in any upside returns of the Underlying ETF to the extent it holds U.S. Treasuries in lieu of holding the Underlying ETF directly; however, the Fund will also experience the market performance and income payments attributable to its U.S. Treasuries held directly. The Index, and therefore the Fund, is subject to any losses experienced by the Underlying ETF. Concentration Policy. The Fund will not concentrate its investments ( i.e. , invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets) in securities of issuers in any one industry or group of industries, except to the extent that the Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. Diversification Status. The Fund is classified as a non -diversified company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act).
