Market Performance

October 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

Through the first three quarters of 2022, equity investors faced one of the most challenging stock market environments in decades. The US Federal Reserve continued its policy of raising interest rates aggressively to combat near record breaking inflation in the United States. While these policy moves appeared to begin to taper inflation, it significantly impacted valuations in stocks, especially those deemed to be growth oriented. Bonds, often the defensive alternative to stock market volatility, also suffered in 2022 due to rising interest rates. Adding to the downward pressure on equities in 2022 was rising geopolitical tensions. Russia’s invasion and war with Ukraine continued to keep markets on edge throughout the year due to the potential for escalation into broader conflict. In addition, China expanded its influence and presence in Hong Kong and the South China Sea, worrying the South Pacific region and allies including the US. Perhaps more controversially, the status of Taiwan became a growing wedge issue between China and the US. These tensions weighed on markets throughout 2022 and will continue to do so as these situations evolve.

The broad-based S&P 500 index declined 17.75% year to date which placed it near bear market territory after having seen even lower levels earlier in the year. Reviewing the eleven sectors that comprise the S&P 500 index shows a variety of significant performance differences through end of October 2022. In general, the more a sector had growth stock exposure, the worse it performed. On the other hand, sectors dominated by value stocks had much more attractive relative performance. Leading the pack with just over a 67% gain was the Energy sector. Energy stocks continued to see their products increase in demand as the economy worldwide ramped up from the COVID slowdown of 2020. In addition, the war in Ukraine continued to negatively impact the supply of oil due to sanctions on Russian oil. In short, it was an outstanding year for the Energy sector as it was the only positive sector in the S&P 500.

Coming in a distant second through fourth place were sectors down single digits which in 2022 was a win versus the S&P 500. Consumer Staples, Health Care, Utilities, and Industrials declined between 3.9 – 9.7% in 2022. These value focused sectors were simply less impacted than growth sectors due to lower price to earnings valuations to begin with. Moving to the sectors that were down mid double digits were the Financial sector off 11.73% and the Materials sector off 16.92%. These sectors were the buffer between the single digit losers and the rest of the S&P 500 sectors which lost 25% or more for the year. Technology, Real Estate, Consumer Discretionary and Communications sectors lost between 25 – 37% in 2022.

Looking forward to 2023, US investors will be watching the Federal Reserve’s pace of interest rate increases, inflation data and geopolitical tensions with nations including China, Iran, and Russia. It would not be surprising to see equity market volatility remain at increased levels in 2023.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Investing involves risk; Principal loss is possible.

(a)   Fund commenced operations on June 11, 2012.

(b)   Reflects performance of Sustainable North American Oil Sands Index® through June 20, 2013 and ISE High Income Index thereafter.

(c)   This figure represents performance of the ISE High Income IndexTM after the change in the index strategy utilized by the Fund beginning on June 20, 2013, and not during the previous 10 years or since inception.

The Fund is the successor to the investment performance of the YieldShares High Income Fund (the “Predecessor High Income Fund”) as a result of the reorganization of the Predecessor High Income Fund into the Fund on October 7, 2019. Accordingly, the performance information shown in the chart and table above for periods prior to October 7, 2019 is that of the Predecessor High Income Fund’s Shares for the Fund. The Predecessor High Income Fund was managed by the same portfolio managers as the Fund and had substantially the same investment objectives, policies, and strategies as the Fund.

The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed or sold in the market, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Prior to June 20, 2013, the Fund sought to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, corresponded generally to the price and yield performance of the SWM Index. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and should not be considered as a representation of the future results of the Fund. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and all capital gains. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike a Fund’s returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees and expenses were included in the index returns, the performance would have been lower. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.

There are no assurances that the Fund will meet its stated objectives.

The Fund’s holdings and allocations are subject to change and should not be considered recommendations to buy individual securities.

Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed or sold in the market, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and should not be considered as a representation of the future results of the Fund. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and all capital gains. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike a Fund’s returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees and expenses were included in the index returns, the performance would have been lower. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.

There are no assurances that the Fund will meet its stated objectives.

The Fund’s holdings and allocations are subject to change and should not be considered recommendations to buy individual securities.

Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

(a)   For the period January 1, 2019 to October 1, 2019. See Note 1 to the Financial Statements.

(b)   Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

(c)   Realized and unrealized gains and losses per share in this caption are balancing amounts necessary to reconcile the change in net asset value per share for the period and may not reconcile with the aggregate gains and losses in the statement of operations due to share transactions for the year.

(d)   Total Return on Net Asset Value is based on the change in net asset value (“NAV”) of a share during the period and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions at NAV. Total Return on Net Asset Value is for the period indicated and has not been annualized. The return shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares.

(e)   These ratios exclude the impact of expenses of underlying security holdings as represented in the Schedule of Investments. Recognition of net investment income by the Fund is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying closed-end investment companies in which the Fund invests.

(f)   Annualized.

(g)   Excludes the impact of in-kind transactions.

(h)   Not Annualized.

(i)   Less than $0.005.

The Funds list and principally trade their shares on the New York Stock Exchange Arca (“NYSE”) (“Exchange”). Shares of the Funds trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at, or above the Funds’ net asset value (“NAV”). YYY, IBUY, DIVO, BLOK, BATT, and CNBS, will issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares, typically 50,000 shares, called “Creation Units.” SWAN will issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in creation units of, typically 10,000 shares. EMFQ, ISWN, MVPS, BIDS, QSWN, IWIN, NDIV, and IDVO will issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in creation units of, typically 25,000 shares. Creation Units will be issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally will trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in quantities less than a Creation Unit. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed an Authorized Participant Agreement with Foreside

84

Amplify ETF Trust

  

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

Fund Services, LLC (“the Distributor”). Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

A creation unit will generally not be issued until the transfer of good title of the deposit securities to CNBS and the payment of any cash amounts have been completed. To the extent contemplated by the applicable authorized participant agreement, Creation Units of CNBS will be issued to such authorized participant notwithstanding the fact that CNBS deposits have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the authorized participant to deliver the missing deposit securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by such authorized participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars immediately available funds having a value (marked to market daily) at least equal to 105% of the value of the missing deposit securities.

Each Fund currently offers one class of shares, which has no front end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. A purchase or redemption (i.e. creation or redemption) transaction fee of $500 is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or redemption of Creation Units for YYY, IBUY, DIVO, BLOK, CNBS, and IWIN. A purchase or redemption transaction fee of $1,000 is imposed for BATT. A purchase or redemption transaction fee of $300 is imposed for SWAN, ISWN, QSWN, NDIV, and IDVO. A purchase or redemption transaction fee of $750 is imposed for EMFQ and BIDS. A purchase or redemption transaction fee of $1,500 is imposed for MVPS. The Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with par value of $0.01 per share. All shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

CONSOLIDATION OF SUBSIDIARY

IWIN’s portfolio managers expect to obtain commodities exposure primarily through investments in commodity futures contracts via a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund, Amplify Inflation Fighter (Cayman) Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary, which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, is designed to enhance the ability of the Fund to obtain exposure to the commodities markets consistent with the limits of the U.S. federal tax law requirements applicable to registered investment companies. The Fund is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary, which will not be sold or offered to other investors. The Subsidiary is overseen by its own board of directors. The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary may not exceed 25% of the Fund’s total assets at each quarter-end of the Fund’s fiscal year end. The consolidated financial statements of the Fund include the financial statements of the Subsidiary. The Fund consolidates the results of subsidiaries in which the Fund holds a controlling financial interest. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. As of the end of the reporting period, the net assets of the Subsidiary were $2,370,422 which represented 21.19% of the Fund’s net assets.

SECURITY VALUATION

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The following describes the levels of the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;

85

Amplify ETF Trust

  

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 – Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value for the year ended October 31, 2022 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

For the year ended October 31, 2022, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.

Common stocks, preferred stock, and other equity securities listed on any national or foreign exchange (excluding Nasdaq) and the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”) will be valued at the last price on the exchange on which they are principally traded or, for Nasdaq and AIM securities, the official closing price. Securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Foreign securities and other assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, which approximates fair value. Redeemable securities issued by open-end investment companies shall be valued at the investment company’s applicable NAV, with the exception of exchange-traded open-end and closed-end investment companies which are priced as equity securities. Exchange-traded options will be valued at the current mean price where such contracts are principally traded. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the mean of the bid and the asked price, if available, and otherwise at their closing bid price. Fixed income securities will be valued at the mean price. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less when purchased will be valued at the current market price. If there is no current market available then the securities will be valued at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretions of discounts. Swaps will be valued by using the market close price of the underlying holdings. Futures contracts will be valued at the settlement price. If there is no current market price available, then the securities will be valued at the last trade price.

The Trust’s Valuation Procedures provide for the designation of the Adviser as “Valuation Designee”. If no quotation is available from either a pricing service, or one or more brokers or there is reason to question the reliability or accuracy of a quotation supplied, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith, by the Valuation Designee pursuant to procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”).

The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of October 31, 2022:

OPTION WRITING

DIVO and IDVO will each employ an option strategy in which they will write U.S. exchange-traded covered call options on equity securities in the portfolios in order to seek additional income (in the form of premiums on the options) and selective repurchase of such options. A call option written (sold) by DIVO or IDVO will give the holder (buyer) the right to buy a certain equity security at a predetermined strike price from DIVO or IDVO. A premium is the income received by an investor who sells or writes an option contract to another party. DIVO and IDVO seek to lower risk and enhance total return by tactically selling short-term call options on some, or all, of the equity securities in the portfolio. Specifically, DIVO seeks to provide gross income of approximately 2-3% from dividend income and 2-4% from option premium, plus the potential for capital appreciation. IDVO seeks to provide gross income of approximately 3-4% from dividend income and 2-4% from option premium, plus the potential for capital appreciation. Unlike a systematic covered call program, DIVO and IDVO are not obligated to continuously cover each individual equity position. When one of the underlying stocks demonstrates strength or an increase in implied volatility, DIVO and IDVO identify that opportunity and sell call options tactically, rather than keeping all positions covered and limiting potential upside.

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

When DIVO or IDVO write an option, an amount equal to the premium received by DIVO or IDVO, respectively is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by DIVO and IDVO on the expiration date as realized gains from options written. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether DIVO or IDVO has realized a gain or loss. DIVO and IDVO, as writers of an option, bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. During the period, DIVO and IDVO used written covered call options in a manner consistent with the strategy described above.

SWAN, ISWN, and QSWN’s investments in options contracts will primarily be long-term equity anticipation securities known as LEAP Options. LEAP Options are long-term exchange-traded call options that allow holders the opportunity to participate in the underlying securities’ appreciation in excess of a specified strike price without receiving payments equivalent to any cash dividends declared on the underlying securities. A holder of a LEAP Option will be entitled to receive a specified number of shares of the underlying stock upon payment of the exercise price, and therefore the LEAP Option will be exercisable at any time the price of the underlying stock is above the strike price. However, if at expiration the price of the underlying stock is at or below the strike price, the LEAP Option will expire and be worthless.

SWAP AGREEMENTS

CNBS may enter into total return swaps for investment purposes. Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. For example, the agreement to pay a predetermined or fixed interest rate in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of a referenced index or instrument exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, a Fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, a Fund will make a payment to the counterparty. The marked-to-market value less a financing rate, if any, is recorded in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. At termination or maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged where the total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying reference asset less a financing rate, if any, and is recorded in net realized gain (loss) on swaps on the Statements of Operations. To the extent the marked-to market value of a total return swap appreciates to the benefit of a Fund and exceeds certain contractual thresholds, a Fund’s counterparty may be contractually required to provide collateral. If the marked-to-market value of a total return swap depreciates in value to the benefit of a counterparty and exceeds certain contractual thresholds, a Fund would generally be required to provide collateral for the benefit of its counterparty. Assets provided by the Funds as collateral are reflected as a component of investments in unaffiliated securities at value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are noted on the Schedules of Investments. Assets provided to a Fund by a counterparty as collateral are not assets of the Fund and are not a component of a Fund’s net asset value.

FUTURES CONTRACTS

IWIN may use futures contracts to seek to enhance return, to hedge some of the risk of its investments in securities, as a substitute for a position in the underlying asset, to reduce transaction costs, to maintain full market exposure (which means to adjust the characteristics of their investments to more closely approximate those of the markets in which it invests), to manage cash flows, to limit exposure to losses due to changes to non-U.S. currency exchange rates or to preserve capital.

OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Funds are subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow the Funds to close out and net their total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and type of Master Netting Arrangement.

SHORT POSITIONS

When a Fund sells a security it does not own (known as a “short” position), it must buy or borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale. For financial statement purposes, cash proceeds from securities sold short, if any, are included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as deposits at broker for securities sold short. The amount of the securities sold short, shown as a liability, is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the short positions. Subsequent

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

fluctuations in the market prices of securities sold short may require purchasing the securities at prices which could differ from the amount reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A Fund is liable for any dividends or interest payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. Dividend and interest expense paid by the Funds, if any, are displayed in the Expenses section of the Statements of Operations. The Funds do not generally expect to engage in short sales.

SHARE VALUATION

The NAV per share of the Funds is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Funds, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for the Funds is equal to the Funds’ NAV.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments and currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains (loss) on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on foreign currency transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income or separately disclosed, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the security received. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method.

Paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the par value of the securities received. PIK accrues to cost and principal on a current basis but is generally not paid in cash until maturity or some other determined payment date.

Distributions received from YYY’s investments in closed-end funds (“CEFs”) are recorded as ordinary income, net realized capital gain or return of capital based on information reported by the CEFs and management’s estimates of such amounts based on historical information. These estimates are adjusted with the tax returns after the actual source of distributions has been disclosed by the CEFs and may differ from the estimated amounts.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually by the Funds. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

94

Amplify ETF Trust

  

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to distributable earnings/ (accumulated deficit) and paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect risk of loss to be remote.

ORGANIZATIONAL AND OFFERING COSTS

All organizational costs incurred to establish the Funds were paid by the Adviser and are not subject to reimbursement.

3.    AGREEMENTS

The Adviser serves as investment adviser to the Funds. Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Adviser, the Adviser provides investment advice to the Funds and oversees the day-to-day operations of the Funds, subject to the direction and control of the Board and the officers of the Trust.

Under the Management Agreement, the Funds will pay the following investment advisory fees to the Adviser as compensation for the services rendered, facilities furnished, and expenses paid by it (with the exception of CNBS), including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other service and license fees, but excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution and service fees payable pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 Plan, if any, and extraordinary expenses.

The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees and earn interest on the non-cash and cash collateral. Due to timing issues of when a security is recalled from loan, the financial statements may differ in presentation. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. The Funds continue to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss in the value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right under the terms of the securities lending agreements to recall the securities from the borrower on demand.

As of October 31, 2022, YYY, IBUY, BLOK, BATT, EMFQ, CNBS, MVPS, BIDS, and IWIN had loaned securities and received cash collateral for the loans. The cash collateral is invested by the Securities Lending Agents in accordance with approved investment guidelines. Those guidelines require the cash collateral to be invested in readily marketable, high quality, short-term obligations; however, such investments are subject to risk of payment delays or default on the part of the issuer or counterparty or otherwise may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated with securities lending. The Funds could also experience delays in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Funds are indemnified from this risk by contract with the Securities Lending Agents.

As of October 31, 2022, the values of the securities on loan and payable for collateral due to brokers were as follows:

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

During the year ended October 31, 2022, the Funds realized the following net capital gains (losses) resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund shares for securities held by the Funds rather than for cash. Because such gains (losses) are not taxable to the Funds, and gains are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from total distributable earnings (accumulated deficit) to paid-in capital.

8.    PRINCIPAL RISKS

BITCOIN FUTURES RISK (IWIN only)

The market for bitcoin futures may be less developed, less liquid and more volatile than more established futures markets. While the bitcoin futures market has grown substantially since bitcoin futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. Bitcoin futures are subject to collateral requirements and daily limits may impact the Fund’s ability to achieve the desired exposure. If the Fund is unable to meet its investment objective, the Fund’s returns may be lower than expected. Additionally, these collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its position when it otherwise would not do so. The Fund’s investment decisions may need to be modified, and commodity contract positions held by the Fund may have to be liquidated at disadvantageous times or prices, to avoid exceeding any applicable position limits established by the CME or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), potentially subjecting the Fund to substantial losses. Bitcoin and bitcoin futures contracts are a relatively new asset class and are subject to unique and substantial risks, including the risk that the value of the Fund’s investments could decline rapidly, including to zero.

Margin levels for Bitcoin futures contracts are substantially higher than the margin requirements for more established futures contracts. Additionally, the FCMs utilized by the Fund may impose margin requirements in addition to those imposed by the exchanges. Margin requirements are subject to change and may be raised in the future by the exchanges and the FCMs. High margin requirements could prevent the Fund from obtaining sufficient exposure to Bitcoin futures and may adversely affect its ability to achieve its investment objective. Further, FCMs utilized by the Funds may impose limits on the amount of exposure to futures contracts the Fund can obtain through such FCMs. If the Fund cannot obtain sufficient exposure through its FCMs, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective.

BITCOIN RISK (BLOK and IWIN only)

The Fund expects to have market exposure to cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies are often referred to as a “virtual currency” or “digital currency,” and operate as a decentralized, peer-to-peer financial exchange and value storage that can be used like money. A cryptocurrency operates without central authority or banks and is not backed by any government. A cryptocurrency is also not a legal tender. Federal, state or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange of a cryptocurrency, and regulation in the U.S. is still developing. Even when held indirectly, investment vehicles may be affected by the high volatility associated with cryptocurrency exposure. Holding a privately offered investment vehicle in its portfolio may cause the Fund to trade at a premium or discount to NAV.

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

Bitcoin is a relatively new financial innovation and the market for bitcoin is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. The further development of the network involved in maintaining the ledger of bitcoin ownership and the acceptance and use of bitcoin are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Bitcoin Network or the acceptance of bitcoin may adversely affect the price of bitcoin. Bitcoin is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact bitcoin trading venues. Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, bitcoin and bitcoin trading venues are largely unregulated. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation and investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Bitcoin Network or restrict the use of bitcoin. The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of bitcoin and consequently a reduction in the value of bitcoin, bitcoin futures, and the Fund.

BLOCKCHAIN INVESTMENTS RISK (BLOK only)

An investment in companies actively engaged in blockchain technology may be subject to the following risks:

The technology is new and many of its uses may be untested. The mechanics of using distributed ledger technology to transact in other types of assets, such as securities or derivatives, is less clear. There is no assurance that widespread adoption will occur. A lack of expansion in the usage of blockchain technology could adversely affect an investment in the Fund.

Theft, loss or destruction. Transacting on a blockchain depends in part specifically on the use of cryptographic keys that are required to access a user’s account (or “wallet”). The theft, loss or destruction of these keys impairs the value of ownership claims users have over the relevant assets being represented by the ledger (whether “smart contracts,” securities, currency or other digital assets).

Cyber security incidents. Cyber security incidents may compromise an issuer, its operations or its business. Cyber security incidents may also specifically target user’s transaction history, digital assets, or identity, thereby leading to privacy concerns. In addition, certain features of blockchain technology, such as decentralization, open source protocol, and reliance on peer-to-peer connectivity, may increase the risk of fraud or cyber-attack by potentially reducing the likelihood of a coordinated response.

Developmental risk. Blockchain technology may never develop optimized transactional processes that lead to realized economic returns for any company in which the Fund invests. Companies that are developing applications of blockchain technology applications may not in fact do so or may not be able to capitalize on those blockchain technologies. The development of new or competing platforms may cause consumers and investors to use alternatives to blockchains.

Intellectual property claims. A proliferation of recent startups attempting to apply blockchain technology in different contexts means the possibility of conflicting intellectual property claims could be a risk to an issuer, its operations or its business. This could also pose a risk to blockchain platforms that permit transactions in digital securities. Regardless of the merit of any intellectual property or other legal action, any threatened action that reduces confidence in the viability of blockchain may adversely affect an investment in the Fund.

Lack of liquid markets, and possible manipulation of blockchain-based assets. Digital assets that are represented and trade on a blockchain may not necessarily benefit from viable trading markets. Stock exchanges have listing requirements and vet issuers, and perhaps users. These conditions may not necessarily be replicated on a blockchain, depending on the platform’s controls and other policies. The more lenient a blockchain is about vetting issuers of digital assets or users that transact on the platform, the higher the potential risk for fraud or the manipulation of digital assets. These factors may decrease liquidity or volume or increase volatility of digital securities or other assets trading on a blockchain.

Lack of regulation. Digital commodities and their associated platforms are largely unregulated, and the regulatory environment is rapidly evolving. Because blockchain works by having every transaction build on every other transaction, participants can self-police any corruption, which can mitigate the need to depend on the current level of legal or government safeguards to monitor and control the flow of business transactions. As a result, companies engaged in such blockchain activities may be exposed to adverse regulatory action, fraudulent activity or even failure.

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

Reliance on the Internet. Blockchain functionality relies on the Internet. A significant disruption of Internet connectivity affecting large numbers of users or geographic areas could impede the functionality of blockchain technologies and adversely affect the Fund. In addition, certain features of blockchain technology, such as decentralization, open source protocol, and reliance on peer-to-peer connectivity, may increase the risk of fraud or cyber-attack by potentially reducing the likelihood of a coordinated response.

BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANIES RISK (CNBS only)

A biotechnology company’s valuation can often be based largely on the potential or actual performance of a limited number of products and can accordingly be greatly affected if one of its products proves, among other things, unsafe, ineffective or unprofitable. Biotechnology companies are subject to regulation by, and the restrictions of, the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, state and local governments, and non-U.S. regulatory authorities.

CANNABIS INDUSTRY RISK (CNBS only)

Companies involved in the cannabis industry face competition, may have limited access to the services of banks, may have substantial burdens on company resources due to litigation, complaints or enforcement actions, and are heavily dependent on receiving necessary permits and authorizations to engage in medical cannabis research or to otherwise cultivate, possess or distribute cannabis. Since the use of cannabis is illegal under U.S. federal law, federally regulated banking institutions may be unwilling to make financial services available to growers and sellers of cannabis.

CONCENTRATION RISK (YYY, EMFQ, MVPS, and BIDS only)

To the extent that the Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, the Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. The Fund may be susceptible to loss due to adverse occurrences to the extent that the Fund’s investments are concentrated in a particular issuer or issuers, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.

COMMODITIES RISK (IWIN only)

Commodity prices can have significant volatility, and exposure to commodities can cause the value of a Fund’s shares to decline or fluctuate in a rapid and unpredictable manner. The values of commodities may be affected by changes in overall market movements, real or perceived inflationary trends, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates or currency exchange rates, population growth and changing demographics, international economic, political and regulatory developments, and factors affecting a particular region, industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, or other weather conditions, livestock disease, changes in storage costs, trade embargoes, competition from substitute products, transportation bottlenecks or shortages, fluctuations in supply and demand, and tariffs. A liquid secondary market may not exist for certain commodity investments, which may make it difficult for the Fund to sell them at a desirable price or at the price at which it is carrying them. The commodity markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to, among other factors, lack of liquidity, the participation of speculators, and government regulation and other actions. The Fund is subject to the risk that a commodity price will change from one level to another between periods of trading. Usually such movements occur when there are adverse news announcements, which can cause a commodity price to drop substantially from the previous day’s closing price.

COMMODITY REGULATORY RISK (IWIN only)

The Fund’s investment decisions may need to be modified, and commodity contract positions held by the Fund may have to be liquidated at disadvantageous times or prices, to avoid exceeding any applicable position limits established by the CFTC, potentially subjecting the Fund to substantial losses. The regulation of commodity transactions in the United States is subject to ongoing modification by government, self-regulatory and judicial action. The effect of any future regulatory change with respect to any aspect of the Fund is impossible to predict, but could be substantial and adverse to the Fund.

105

Amplify ETF Trust

  

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

COMMODITY-LINKED DERIVATIVES RISK (IWIN only)

Investments linked to the prices of commodities may be considered speculative. Significant investment exposure to commodities may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Therefore, the value of such instruments may be volatile and fluctuate widely based on a variety of macroeconomic factors or commodity-specific factors. At times, price fluctuations may be quick and significant and may not correlate to price movements in other asset classes. A liquid secondary market may not exist for certain commodity-linked derivatives, which may make it difficult for the Fund to sell them at a desirable price or at the price at which it is carrying them.

CONSTRUCTION AND HOMEBUILDING COMPANIES RISK (IWIN only)

Construction and homebuilding companies may be significantly affected by changes in demand for their specific products or services, government spending, zoning laws, general economic conditions, commodity prices, consumer confidence and spending, taxation, demographic patterns, real estate values, labor relations and government regulations. Such companies can also be significantly affected by the national, regional and local real estate markets. This industry is also sensitive to interest rate fluctuations which can cause changes in the availability of mortgage capital and directly affect the purchasing power of potential homebuyers. The building industry can be significantly affected by changes in government spending, consumer confidence, demographic patterns and the level of new and existing home sales.

COUNTERPARY RISK (CNBS only)

The Fund may invest in financial instruments involving counterparties that attempt to gain exposure to a particular securities without actually purchasing those securities. The Fund’s use of such financial instruments, including swap arrangements, involves risks that are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. For example, if a swap agreement counterparty defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, this default will cause the value of your investment in the Fund to decrease.

COVERED CALL RISK (DIVO and IDVO only)

Covered call risk is the risk that the Fund will forgo, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call, but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. In addition, as the Fund writes covered calls over more of its portfolio, its ability to benefit from capital appreciation becomes more limited. The writer of an option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligation as a writer of the option. Once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying security at the exercise price.

DIGITAL ASSET RISK (BIDS only)

While the Fund will not directly invest in digital assets, certain of the Fund’s investments may be subject to the risks associated with investing in digital assets. The technologies underpinning digital assets are highly disruptive, and the future successes of such technologies are highly uncertain. Further, because the development of digital asset technologies is in a nascent stage, digital asset companies may be rapidly eclipsed by newer and more disruptive technological advances that render current digital assets or technologies outdated or undesirable. Because of the uncertainty of digital asset technologies, the values of the securities of these companies may be highly volatile. Digital assets may be traded on exchanges that are unregulated and often located outside the United States. Digital asset exchanges may stop operating or permanently shut down due to fraud, theft, disruption, technical glitches, hackers, malware or security compromises or failures in the underlying blockchain, ledger or software. Further, digital assets are not maintained in traditional custodial arrangements, and instead are typically held in “wallets,” which are public digital addresses accessible only by “private keys.” If a private key is stolen, lost, damaged or destroyed, the digital assets attributable to such private key may be irreversibly lost without the possibility of recovery. Over their short history, digital assets have experienced tremendous price volatility compared to traditional asset classes and may experience significant illiquidity in stressed market conditions. The values of digital assets should not be expected to be connected or correlated to traditional economic or market forces, and the value of the investments in digital assets could decline rapidly, including to zero, as a digital asset may decline in popularity, acceptance or use, thereby impairing its price.

106

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

Many companies often employ the technology surrounding digital assets to optimize their business practices, whether by using the technology within their business or operating business lines involved in the operation of the technology. There are currently relatively few companies for which digital assets represent an attributable and significant revenue stream. Because of this, the financial strength of companies associated with digital assets and the digital assets market may not be a reflection of their actual connection and exposure to digital assets, but rather a result of other business operations.

FINANCIAL COMPANIES RISK

Financial companies, such as retail and commercial banks, insurance companies and financial services companies, are especially subject to the adverse effects of economic recession, currency exchange rates, extensive government regulation, decreases in the availability of capital, volatile interest rates, portfolio concentrations in geographic markets, industries or products (such as commercial and residential real estate loans) and competition from new entrants and blurred distinctions in their fields of business.

FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY (“FINTECH”) RISK (EMFQ only)

FinTech companies may be adversely impacted by government regulations, economic conditions and deterioration in markets. These companies may have significant exposure to consumers and businesses, including small businesses, in the form of loans and other financial products or services. FinTech companies typically face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence. In addition, many FinTech companies store sensitive consumer information and could be the target of cybersecurity attacks and other types of theft, which could have a negative impact on these companies. Many FinTech companies currently operate under less regulatory scrutiny than traditional financial services companies and banks, but there is significant risk that regulatory oversight could increase in the future. Higher levels of regulation could increase costs and adversely impact the current business models of some FinTech companies. These companies could be negatively impacted by disruptions in service caused by hardware or software failure, or by interruptions or delays in service by third-party data center hosting facilities and maintenance providers. FinTech companies, especially smaller companies, tend to be more volatile than companies that do not rely heavily on technology. The customers and/or suppliers of FinTech companies may be concentrated in a particular country, region or industry. Any adverse event affecting one of these countries, regions or industries could have a negative impact on FinTech companies.

FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISK

Securities issued by Non-U.S. companies present risks beyond those of securities of U.S. issuers. Risks of investing in the securities of foreign companies include: different accounting standards; expropriation, nationalization or other adverse political or economic developments; currency devaluation, blockages or transfer restrictions; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; taxes; restrictions on foreign investments and exchange of securities; and less government supervision and regulation of issuers in foreign countries. Prices of foreign securities also may be more volatile.

FUTURES CONTRACT RISK (IWIN only)

Risks of futures contracts include: (i) an imperfect correlation between the value of the futures contract and the underlying asset; (ii) possible lack of a liquid secondary market; (iii) the inability to close a futures contract when desired; (iv) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which may be unlimited; (v) an obligation for the Fund to make daily cash payments to maintain its required margin, particularly at times when the Fund may have insufficient cash; and (vi) unfavorable execution prices from rapid selling. Unlike equities, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, futures contracts normally specify a certain date for settlement in cash based on the reference asset. As the futures contracts approach expiration, they may be replaced by similar contracts that have a later expiration. This process is referred to as “rolling.” If the market for these contracts is in “contango,” meaning that the prices of futures contracts in the nearer months are lower than the price of contracts in the distant months, the sale of the near-term month contract would be at a lower price than the longer-term contract, resulting in a cost to “roll” the futures contract. The actual realization of a potential roll cost will be dependent upon the difference in price of the near and distant contract. The costs associated with rolling bitcoin futures typically are substantially higher than the costs associated with other futures contracts and may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Because the margin requirement for futures contracts is less than the value of the assets underlying the futures contract, futures trading involves a degree of leverage. As a result, a relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result in

107

Amplify ETF Trust

  

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

immediate and substantial loss, as well as gain, to the investor. Thus, a purchase or sale of a futures contract may result in losses in excess of the amount initially invested in the futures contract. However, the Fund would presumably have sustained comparable losses if, instead of investing in the futures contract, it had invested in the underlying financial instrument and sold it after the decline.

FUND OF FUNDS RISK (YYY only)

Because the Fund is a fund of funds, its investment performance largely depends on the investment performance of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. An investment in the Fund is subject to the risks associated with the Underlying Funds that comprise the Index. The Fund will pay indirectly a proportional share of the fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests, including their investment advisory and administration fees, in addition to its own fees and expenses. In addition, at times certain segments of the market represented by constituent Underlying Funds may be out of favor and underperform other segments.

HEALTH CARE COMPANIES RISK (CNBS only)

Health care companies are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines, and an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services. Health care companies are heavily dependent on obtaining and defending patents, which may be time consuming and costly, and the expiration of patents may also adversely affect the profitability of the companies. Health care companies are also subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. In addition, their products can become obsolete due to industry innovation, changes in technologies, or other market developments. Many new products in the health care field require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals, all of which may be time consuming and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES RISK (IBUY, BLOK, EMFQ, and BIDS only)

Information technology companies are generally subject to the following risks: rapidly changing technologies; short product life cycles; fierce competition; aggressive pricing and reduced profit margins; the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections; cyclical market patterns; evolving industry standards; and frequent new product introductions. Information technology companies may be smaller and less experienced companies, with limited product lines, markets or financial resources and fewer experienced management or marketing personnel. Information technology company stocks, especially those which are internet related, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to their operating performance.

LEVERAGE RISK (YYY only)

Leverage may result from ordinary borrowings or may be inherent in the structure of certain Underlying Fund investments such as derivatives. If the prices of those investments decrease, or if the cost of borrowing exceeds any increase in the prices of those investments, the NAV of the Underlying Fund’s shares will decrease faster than if the Underlying Fund had not used leverage. To repay borrowings, an Underlying Fund may have to sell investments at a time and at a price that is unfavorable to the Underlying Fund. Interest on borrowings is an expense the Underlying Fund would not otherwise incur. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss. If an Underlying Fund uses leverage, there can be no assurance that the Underlying Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.

MARKET EVENTS RISK

Turbulence in the economic, political and financial system has historically resulted, and may continue to result, in an unusually high degree of volatility in the capital markets. Both domestic and foreign capital markets have been experiencing increased volatility and turmoil, with issuers that have exposure to the real estate, mortgage and credit markets particularly affected, and t is uncertain whether or for how long these conditions could continue. Reduced liquidity in equity, credit and fixed-income markets may adversely affect many issuers worldwide. This reduced liquidity may result in less money being available to purchase raw materials, goods and services from emerging markets, which may, in turn, bring down the prices of these economic staples. It may also result in small or emerging market issuers having more difficulty obtaining financing, which may, in turn, cause a decline in their security prices. These events and possible continued market turbulence may have an adverse effect on the Fund.

108

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant negative impact on a Fund and its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. Such events could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of a Fund’s portfolio securities or other instruments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets. Any of such circumstances could have a materially negative impact on the value of a Fund’s Shares and result in increased market volatility. During any such events, a Fund’s Shares may trade at increased premiums or discounts to their NAV.

Health crises caused by the outbreak of infectious diseases or other public health issues, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. The impact of any such events, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries or regions, the financial performance of individual companies, sectors and industries, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which a Fund invests and negatively impact a Fund’s investment return.

For example, an outbreak of a respiratory disease designated as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in international, national and local border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and customer activity, event cancellations and restrictions, service cancellations, reductions and other changes, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, and quarantines, as well as general concern and uncertainty that has negatively affected the economic environment. These impacts also have caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for investors. The impact of this COVID-19 pandemic may be short term or may last for an extended period of time, and in either case could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession.

In addition, the operations of a Fund, the Adviser and a Fund’s other service providers may be significantly impacted, or even temporarily or permanently halted, as a result of government quarantine measures, voluntary and precautionary restrictions on travel or meetings and other factors related to a public health emergency, including its potential adverse impact on the health of any such entity’s personnel.

MARKET PRICE DISCOUNT FROM/PREMIUM TO NET ASSET VALUE RISK (YYY only)

The shares of the Underlying Funds may trade at a discount or premium to their NAV. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that an Underlying Fund’s NAV could decrease as a result of investment activities. Whether investors, such as the Fund, will realize gains or losses upon the sale of shares will depend not on the Underlying Funds’ NAVs, but entirely upon whether the market price of the Underlying Funds’ shares at the time of sale is above or below an investor’s purchase price for shares.

METALS AND MINING COMPANIES RISK (BATT and NDIV only)

The Fund will invest in securities that are issued by and/or have exposure to, companies primarily involved in the metals and mining industry. Investments in metals and mining companies may be speculative and subject to greater price volatility than investments in other types of companies. The profitability of companies in the metals and mining industry is related to, among other things, worldwide metal prices and extraction and production costs. Worldwide metal prices may fluctuate substantially over short periods of time, and as a result, the Fund’s Share price may be more volatile than other types of investments. In addition, metals and mining companies may be significantly affected by changes in global demand for certain metals, economic developments, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, changes in exchange rates, interest rates, economic conditions, tax treatment, trade treaties, and government regulation and intervention, and events in the regions that the companies to which the Fund has exposure operate (e.g., expropriation, nationalization, confiscation of assets and property, the imposition of restrictions on foreign investments or repatriation of capital, military coups, social or political unrest, violence and labor unrest). Metals and mining companies may also be subject to the effects of competitive pressures in the metals and mining industry.

MINERAL MINING RISK (IWIN only)

The Fund is subject to certain risks associated with companies involved in mining. Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial condition of such companies. Mining companies are highly dependent on the price of the underlying metal or element. These prices may fluctuate substantially over short periods of time so the Fund’s Share price may be more volatile than other types of investments. In particular, a drop in the price of green metals would particularly adversely affect the profitability of small- and medium-capitalization

109

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

mining companies and their ability to secure financing. Furthermore, companies that are only in the exploration stage are typically unable to adopt specific strategies for controlling the impact of such price changes. A significant amount of the companies may be early stage mining companies that are in the exploration stage only or that hold properties that might not ultimately produce these metals. Exploration and development involves significant financial risks over a significant period of time which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. Few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenditures may be required to establish reserves by drilling and to construct mining and processing facilities at a site. In addition, many early stage miners operate at a loss and are dependent on securing equity and/or debt financing, which might be more difficult to secure for an early stage mining company than for a more established counterpart.

OPTIONS RISK (SWAN, ISWN, and QSWN only)

Investing in options, including LEAP Options, and other instruments with option-type elements may increase the volatility and/or transaction expenses of the Fund. An option may expire without value, resulting in a loss of the Fund’s initial investment and may be less liquid and more volatile than an investment in the underlying securities. The Fund’s ability to close out its position as a purchaser of a call option is dependent, in part, upon the liquidity of the options market. There are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation among these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objectives. The Fund may also purchase over-the-counter call options, which involves risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with exchange-listed call options. In some instances, over-the-counter call options may expose the Fund to the risk that a counterparty may be unable to perform according to a contract, and that any deterioration in a counterparty’s creditworthiness could adversely affect the instrument. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to a risk that losses may exceed the amount originally invested.

PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES RISK (CNBS only)

Companies in the pharmaceutical industry can be significantly affected by, among other things, government approval of products and services, government regulation and reimbursement rates, product liability claims, patent expirations and protection of intense competition.

POOLED INVESTMENT VEHICLE RISK (BLOK and IWIN only)

The Fund may invest in Commodity-Linked Instruments, including ETFs and shares of other pooled investment vehicles. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying pooled investment vehicle. Pooled investment vehicles that invest in commodities are subject to the risks associated with direct investments in those commodities. The price and movement of a pooled investment vehicle designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. Certain pooled investment vehicles traded on exchanges may be thinly traded and experience large spreads between the “ask” price quoted by a seller and the “bid” price offered by a buyer. Certain pooled investment vehicles may also not have the protections applicable to other types of investments under federal securities or commodities laws and may be subject to counterparty or credit risk.

The Fund may obtain exposure to bitcoin through the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (“GBTC”). GBTC is a private investment fund that is not regulated under the 1940 Act. The shares of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust may trade at a premium or discount, may not directly correspond to the price of Bitcoin, and are highly volatile. The Fund may also obtain exposure to bitcoin by investing in U.S. listed instruments. These instruments may be subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which would be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in these instruments and may be higher than other funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds.

ONLINE RETAIL RISK (IBUY only)

Companies that operate in the online marketplace, retail and travel segments are subject to fluctuating consumer demand. Unlike traditional brick and mortar retailers, online marketplaces and retailers must assume shipping costs or pass such costs to consumers. Consumer access to price information for the same or similar products may cause companies that operate in the online marketplace, retail and travel segments to reduce profit margins in order to compete. Profit margins in the travel industry are particularly sensitive to seasonal demand, fuel costs and consumer perception of various risks associated with travel to various destinations. Due to the nature of their business models, companies that operate in the online marketplace, retail and travel segments may also be subject to

110

Amplify ETF Trust

  

Notes to the Financial Statements

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

heightened cybersecurity risk, including the risk of theft or damage to vital hardware, software and information systems. The loss or public dissemination of sensitive customer information or other proprietary data may negatively affect the financial performance of such companies to a greater extent than traditional brick and mortar retailers. As a result of such companies being web-based and the fact that they process, store, and transmit large amounts of data, including personal information, for their customers, failure to prevent or mitigate data loss or other security breaches, including breaches of vendors’ technology and systems, could expose companies that operate in the online marketplace, retail and travel segments or their customers to a risk of loss or misuse of such information, adversely affect their operating results, result in litigation or potential liability, and otherwise harm their businesses.

RARE EARTH METAL COMPANIES RISK (BATT only)

Rare earth metals have more specialized uses and are often more difficult to extract. The use of strategic metals in modern technology has increased dramatically over the past years. Consequently, the demand for these metals has strained supply, which has the potential to result in a shortage of such materials which could adversely affect the companies in the Fund’s portfolio. Companies involved in the various activities that are related to the mining, refining and/or manufacturing of rare earth metals tend to be small-, medium- and micro-capitalization companies with volatile share prices, are highly dependent on the price of rare earth metals, which may fluctuate substantially over short periods of time. The value of such companies may be significantly affected by events relating to international, national and local political and economic developments, energy conservation efforts, the success of exploration projects, commodity prices, tax and other government regulations, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. The mining, refining and/or manufacturing of rare earth metals can be capital intensive and, if companies involved in such activities are not managed well, the share prices of such companies could decline even as prices for the underlying rare earth metals are rising. In addition, companies involved in the various activities that are related to the mining, refining and/or manufacturing of rare earth metals may be at risk for environmental damage claims.

9.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. The evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosure and/or adjustment other than the following:

On December 21, 2022, Core Scientific, Inc., a holding within BLOK, formally filed for Chapter 11 protection. A proposal has been offered to note holders; however, the process remains ongoing, and nothing has been formally accepted as of the date the financial statements were issued. The Adviser continues to monitor and follow the developing situation and an estimate of additional financial effect, if any, cannot be made.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of
Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement

October 31, 2022

AMPLIFY HIGH INCOME ETF

Pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), at a meeting held on September 13, 2022, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Amplify ETF Trust (the “Trust”) considered the approval of, and approved, the following agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”): (1) an Investment Management Agreement between Amplify Investments LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Amplify YieldShares High Income ETF (the “Fund”) and (2) an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and Penserra Capital Management LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), on behalf of the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”).

The Fund was originally approved by the Board and its Independent Trustees on or about December 11, 2018 for an initial two-year term. Thus, a meeting was held on November 5, 2015, to discuss and review the Agreements with respect to the Fund. In preparation for the meeting regarding the initial two year term, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of information from the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. At the December 11, 2018 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, approved the retention of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the Agreements for the initial two-year term.

After their initial two-year term, the Agreements must be approved: (i) by the vote of the Trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the Fund; and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Agreements or “interested persons” of any party thereto, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval for an additional one year term. In preparation for the meetings regarding the additional one year term, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of information from the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. Thus, a meeting was held on September 15, 2020, to discuss and review the Agreements with respect to the Fund. At the September 15, 2020 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, approved the retention of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the Agreements for an additional one-year term. Subsequently, the Board held meetings on September 14, 2021 and September 13, 2022 to discuss and review the Agreements with respect to the Fund for the additional one year term following the previous approval. At these meetings, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, after reviewing the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, approved the retention of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the Agreements for an additional one-year term.

Prior to the meeting held on September 13, 2022, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed written materials from the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser regarding, among other things: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to fund shareholders by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser; (ii) the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser’s costs and profits expected to be realized in providing their services, including any fall-out benefits expected to be enjoyed by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser; and (iii) the existence, or anticipated existence, of economies of scale.

Prior to and at the meeting held on September 13, 2022, representatives from the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, along with other service providers of the Fund, presented additional oral and written information to help the Board evaluate the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser’s fees and other aspects of the Agreements. Among other things, representatives from the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser provided overviews of their advisory businesses, including investment personnel and investment processes. The representatives also discussed the rationale for launching the Fund, the Fund’s fees and fee structures of comparable investment companies. The Board then discussed the written materials that it received before the meeting and the Adviser and Sub-Adviser’s oral presentations and any other information that the Board received at the meeting, and deliberated on the approval of the Agreements in light of this information. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single piece of information discussed below that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees considered information concerning the functions to be performed by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the personnel and resources of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including the investment management team that will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the portfolio manager responsible for investing the portfolio of the Fund. The Trustees considered statements by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser regarding their respective financial conditions, that each was financially stable and could support its performance of the services under its Agreement. The Trustees also considered the services to be provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Fund’s service providers.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of
Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser to the Fund under the respective Agreement were expected to be appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees discussed the information provided by the Adviser on the Fund’s proposed investment management fee of 0.50% as compared to information provided by the Adviser on other similar products. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser had managed this Fund to the Board’s satisfaction over the course of the previous four years. The Trustees noted that the proposed annual investment management fee to be charged to the Fund was a unitary fee, and that the Adviser has agreed to pay all other expenses of the Fund, including fees payable to the Sub-Adviser, except brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, taxes, interest, distribution and service fees payable pursuant to a 12b-1 Plan, if any, and extraordinary expenses. The Board concluded that the unitary investment management fee to be charged to the Fund is reasonable and appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. In conjunction with their review of the unitary investment management fee, the Trustees considered information provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser on their costs to be incurred in connection with the proposed Agreement and their estimated profitability and that any profitability would not be excessive. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profits to be realized by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Fund appeared to be reasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether the Fee Level Reflects These Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether the fee level reflects economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Fund would be enjoyed by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, but that a unitary fee provides a level of certainty in expenses for the Fund. The Trustees considered whether the proposed advisory fee rate for the Fund is reasonable in relation to the projected asset size of the Fund. The Trustees noted the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s views on their expectations for growth, noting that, initially, the Adviser did not anticipate any material economies of scale. The Trustees concluded that the flat investment management fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it would derive from its relationship with the Fund, and had noted that it will not, initially, have any soft dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, have determined to approve the Agreements for the Fund.

Pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), at a meeting held on September 13, 2022, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Amplify ETF Trust (the “Trust”) considered the approval of, and approved, the following agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”): (1) an Investment Management Agreement between Amplify Investments LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Amplify International BlackSwan Core ETF (the “Fund”) and (2) an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and Toroso Investments, LLC (“Toroso”) and (3) an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and ARGI Investment Services, LLC (hereinafter referred to as “ARGI”. Toroso and ARGI will be collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Sub-Advisers”), on behalf of the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”).

The Fund was originally approved by the Board and its Independent Trustees on or about December 8, 2020 for an initial two year term. Thus, a meeting was held on December 8, 2020, to discuss and review the Agreements with respect to the Fund. In preparation for the meeting regarding the initial two year term, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of information from the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. At the December 8, 2020 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, approved the retention of the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers and the Agreements for the initial two-year term.

After their initial two-year term, the Agreements must be approved: (i) by the vote of the Trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the Fund; and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Agreements or “interested persons” of any party thereto, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval for an additional one year term. In preparation for the meeting regarding the additional one year term, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of information from the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. Thus, a meeting was held on September 13, 2021, to discuss and review the Agreements with respect to the Fund. At the September 13, 2021 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, after reviewing the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, approved the retention of the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers and the Agreements for an additional one-year term.

Prior to the meeting held on September 13, 2022, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed written materials from the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers regarding, among other things: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to fund shareholders by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers; (ii) the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers’ costs and profits expected to be realized in providing their services, including any fall-out benefits expected to be enjoyed by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers; and (iii) the existence, or anticipated existence, of economies of scale.

Prior to and at the meeting held on September 13, 2022, representatives from the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, along with other service providers of the Fund, presented additional oral and written information to help the Board evaluate the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers’ fees and other aspects of the Agreements. Among other things, representatives from the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers provided overviews of their advisory businesses, including investment personnel and investment processes. The representatives also discussed the rationale for launching the Fund, the Fund’s fees and fee structures of comparable investment companies. The Board then discussed the written materials that it received before the meeting and the Adviser and Sub-Advisers’ oral presentations and any other information that the Board received at the meeting, and deliberated on the approval of the Agreements in light of this information. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single piece of information discussed below that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees considered information concerning the functions to be performed by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers and the personnel and resources of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, including the investment management team that will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the portfolio manager responsible for investing the portfolio of the Fund. The Trustees also considered statements by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers regarding their respective financial conditions, that each was financially stable and could support its performance of the services under its Agreement. The Trustees also considered the services to be provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Fund’s service providers.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to the Fund under the respective Agreement were expected to be appropriate and reasonable.

Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement

October 31, 2022 (Continued)

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees discussed the information provided by the Adviser on the Fund’s proposed investment management fee of 0.49% as compared to information provided by the Adviser on other similar products. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser and Sub-Advisers had managed this Fund to the Board’s satisfaction over the course of the previous two years. The Trustees noted that the proposed annual investment management fee to be charged to the Fund was a unitary fee, and that the Adviser has agreed to pay all other expenses of the Fund, including fees payable to the Sub-Advisers, except brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, taxes, interest, distribution and service fees payable pursuant to a 12b-1 Plan, if any, and extraordinary expenses. The Board concluded that the unitary investment management fee to be charged to the Fund is reasonable and appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers. In conjunction with their review of the unitary investment management fee, the Trustees considered information provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers on their costs to be incurred in connection with the proposed Agreement and their estimated profitability and that any profitability would not be excessive. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profits to be realized by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers with respect to the Fund appeared to be reasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether the Fee Level Reflects These Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers as to the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether the fee level reflects economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Fund would be enjoyed by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, but that a unitary fee provides a level of certainty in expenses for the Fund. The Trustees considered whether the proposed advisory fee rate for the Fund is reasonable in relation to the projected asset size of the Fund. The Trustees noted the Adviser’s and Sub-Advisers’ views on their expectations for growth, noting that, initially, the Adviser did not anticipate any material economies of scale. The Trustees concluded that the flat investment management fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser and Sub-Advisers had not identified any further benefits that it would derive from its relationship with the Fund, and had noted that they will not, initially, have any soft dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, have determined to approve the Agreements for the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser had managed this Fund to the Board’s satisfaction over the course of the previous four years. The Trustees noted that the proposed annual investment management fee to be charged to the Fund was a unitary fee, and that the Adviser has agreed to pay all other expenses of the Fund, including fees payable to the Sub-Adviser, except brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, taxes, interest, distribution and service fees payable pursuant to a 12b-1 Plan, if any, and extraordinary expenses.

AMPLIFY INTERNATIONAL ENHANCED DIVIDEND INCOME ETF

Pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), at a meeting1 held on June 7, 2022, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Amplify ETF Trust (the “Trust”) considered the approval of, and approved, the following agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”): (1) an Investment Management Agreement between Amplify Investments LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Amplify International Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (the “Fund”), (2) the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and Penserra Capital Management LLC (“Penserra”), and (3) between the Adviser and Capital Wealth Planning LLC (“CWP”) on behalf of the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”).

Disclosure of Fund Expenses

October 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

All Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs and transaction fees, which include costs for ETF management and other Fund expenses. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.

Operating expenses such as these are deducted from an ETF’s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the ETF’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the ETF’s expense ratio.

The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples are based on investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the periods shown below.

The table below illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:

ACTUAL FUND RETURN

This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your fund incurred over the period shown. “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.

You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid during the period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”

HYPOTHETICAL 5% RETURN

This section helps you compare your fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the “Annualized Expense Ratio” for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Commission requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result of your fund under “Expenses Paid During Period” with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.

NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes - NOT your fund’s actual return - the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

The Market Price of the Fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

In broad terms, we use cookies on our Websites for the following purposes:

     Analytical purposes: Analytical cookies allow us to recognize measure and track visitors to our Websites. This helps us to improve and develop the way our Websites work, for example, by determining whether site visitors can find information easily, or by identifying the aspects of websites that are of the most interest to them.

     Usage preferences: Some of the cookies on our Websites are activated when visitors to our sites make a choice about their usage of the site. Our Websites then ‘remember’ the settings preferences of the user concerned. This allows us to tailor aspects of our sites to the individual user.

     Terms and conditions: We use cookies on our Websites to record when a site visitor has seen a policy, such as this one, or provided consent, such as consent to the terms and conditions on our Websites.
