Amplify CEF High Income ETF offers diversified exposure to high-yield closed-end funds with a 50/50 equities/bonds allocation and no top-level leverage. Despite a 12% yield, YYY's long-term annualized return is under 6%, raising concerns about fee drag and real, after-inflation returns. Recent 3-year performance exceeded 12.5% annualized, but peer funds like CEFS and FOF have delivered stronger risk-adjusted results.
Amplify CEF High Income ETF (YYY) offers diversified exposure to around 60 closed-end funds, selected via a rules-based Nasdaq index. YYY emphasizes yield, discount to NAV, and liquidity, providing access to multiple asset classes. The ETF primarily replicates its index, rebalancing and reconstituting semi-annually to maintain alignment with its selection criteria.
