Amplify ETFs Launches the Amplify BlackSwan ISWN ETF (NYSE Arca: ISWN)
January 26 2021 - 5:00AM
Amplify ETFs announces the launch of the Amplify BlackSwan ISWN ETF
(NYSE Arca: ISWN), an index-based ETF that seeks to hedge against
significant losses while still participating in the uncapped upside
of international equities. ISWN invests in a combination of two
low-correlated assets: U.S. Treasury securities and long-term
options (LEAPS) on the MSCI EAFE.
ISWN expands the firm’s suite of BlackSwan ETFs to include
international exposure, complementing the Amplify BlackSwan Growth
& Treasury Core ETF (NYSE Arca: SWAN). Launched in 2018, the
SWAN ETF has attracted more than $750 million in assets under
management, and has a proven track record of mitigating downside
and participating in upward markets.
“ISWN gives investors the opportunity to expand their portfolios
in markets outside of the U.S., allowing them to manage
international equity risk while staying invested,” said Christian
Magoon, CEO of Amplify ETFs. “Like never before, the past year has
demonstrated the need for risk-mitigation products that not only
seek to protect investor portfolios, but allow them to stay
invested. We’re excited to offer investors domestic and
international exposure using this proven and powerful investment
philosophy.”
ISWN seeks investment results that correspond to the S-Network
International BlackSwan Index (the Index). The Index’s strategy
seeks exposure to the MSCI EAFE (with no artificial cap), while
also protecting against significant losses. Approximately 90% of
ISWN is invested in U.S. Treasury securities with a targeted
duration of the 10-year Note, and 10% is invested in EFA ETF LEAP
options in the form of in-the-money calls.

Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives,
risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and
additional information can be found in the Fund’s statutory and
summary prospectus, which may be obtained by calling 855-267-3837
or by visiting AmplifyETFs.com.
Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of
principal. 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. The Fund's return may not
match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of
the underlying Index.
The use of derivative instruments, such as options contracts,
can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or
value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be
magnified by certain features of the derivatives. Investing in
options, including LEAP Options, and other instruments with
option-type elements may increase the volatility and/or transaction
expenses of the Fund. An option may expire without value, resulting
in a loss of the Fund’s initial investment and may be less liquid
and more volatile than an investment in the underlying securities.
Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when
interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term
debt securities. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it may
concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a
diversified fund.
Call options are financial contracts that give the option buyer
the right, but not the obligation, to buy a stock, bond, commodity
or other asset or instrument at a specified price within a specific
time period. An “in-the-money” call option contract is an option
contract with a strike price that is below the current price of the
underlying reference asset.
Amplify Investments LLC is the Investment Adviser to the Fund,
and ARGI Investment Services, LLC and Toroso Investments, LLC serve
as the Investment Sub-Advisers.
Amplify ETFs are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC.
