Amplify Natural Resources Dividend Income ETF (NDIV) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide current income and capital appreciation through investments in dividend-paying equity securities of companies involved in the natural resources sector. The fund primarily invests in U.S. and foreign companies engaged in energy, precious metals, agriculture, timber, water, and other natural resource-related industries; it employs a bottom-up research process to select securities with sustainable dividends, strong cash flows, and potential for capital growth; derivative instruments such as options and swaps may also be utilized for income enhancement and risk management. NDIV targets income-oriented investors seeking exposure to commodity-linked equities with a focus on high-conviction holdings across mid- and large-cap companies.
Headquartered in the United States and managed by Amplify ETFs, a division of Amplify Financial, the fund launched in 2022 and operates primarily in North American and global markets, with portfolio holdings spanning international issuers. Recent developments include portfolio optimizations in response to energy market volatility, such as increased allocations to renewable energy and critical minerals producers amid the 2024-2025 transition to sustainable resources; in late 2024, Amplify announced strategic enhancements to NDIV's methodology, incorporating ESG dividend sustainability screens to attract institutional capital; no major acquisitions or name changes have occurred, but the fund expanded its benchmark tracking to include broader natural resource indices for improved diversification.
