Amplify ETF Trust - Amplify Samsung SOFR ETF (SOFR) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to deliver current monthly income approximating the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), as published daily by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; it principally invests at least 80% of its net assets in repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, over-the-counter interest rate swap agreements tied to SOFR, short-term notes, and high-quality collateral investments including U.S. government securities, money market funds, and investment-grade corporate debt such as commercial paper. The fund, domiciled in the United States and listed on NYSE Arca, primarily serves income-seeking investors in the fixed income market, focusing on U.S. Treasury repo transactions to minimize yield curve exposure and provide returns closely tracking SOFR before fees and expenses of 0.20%. Amplify Investments LLC acts as investment adviser, with Samsung Asset Management (New York), Inc. as sub-adviser, portfolio managers Yunjae Hwang, Woongmin Greg Chun, and Evan Richert overseeing day-to-day operations.
Launched on November 15, 2023, as the first U.S. ETF tracking SOFR, the fund builds on a strategic partnership between Amplify ETFs and Samsung Asset Management established in 2022, whereby Samsung acquired a 20% equity stake in Amplify and gained exclusive rights to distribute its products in Asia; this collaboration facilitated the SOFR ETF's development and recent monthly distributions averaging approximately $0.36 per share through November 2025, reflecting ongoing income generation amid stable repo market conditions.
Amplify ETF Trust maintains headquarters at 3333 Warrenville Rd., Suite 350, Lisle, Illinois 60532, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking low-volatility cash alternatives with SOFR-linked yields.
