The Amplify CEF High Income ETF invests in 60 CEFs, selected based on their yield, discount, and liquidity. The YYY fund offers investors a strong, stable 13.3% distribution yield. It compares unfavorably to peers, with significant, consistent underperformance.
The Amplify CEF High Income ETF offers a 12.81% distribution rate, but its 10-year NAV total return is only 5.11% annualized. Several major credit-oriented holdings use substantial leverage, while tight high-yield spreads leave limited room for error if credit conditions normalize. YYY's underlying CEF discount has narrowed from 7.9% at June-end to 5.27%, reducing the valuation cushion available to investors.
