Amplify Cybersecurity Covered Call ETF is an ETF that invests in cybersecurity company stocks held by the Amplify Cybersecurity ETF (HACK) while simultaneously selling covered call options on those securities, targeting a high distribution rate with a goal of capturing meaningful option income annually alongside capital appreciation.

How Dividend Vision calculates yield and returns
Distribution rate (14.97%) is the latest regular payout annualized by the fund's stated frequency, divided by the last close. Issuers often publish this as “Distribution Rate” on the fact sheet. Trailing-12-month yield (7.54%) is the sum of distributions paid in the last 12 months, split-adjusted, divided by the last close. It lags a recent raise or cut. We show a 30-day SEC yield when the fund publishes one. Schwab and other issuers may report a TTM distribution yield or SEC yield on a different date — all can be valid; they are not interchangeable. Fund total return uses split-adjusted close with distributions reinvested from the first stored bar on or after inception through the latest bar, compared with the same window on the benchmark. That is what the fund did, not your personal gain/loss. Figures below use Dividend Vision data as of August 19, 2026.
