Read the prospectus carefully before investing.<\/em><br \/>\n        <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <em>Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. The Fund&#8217;s return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the underlying Index.<\/em>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The Fund is subject to management risk because it is actively managed. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. A portfolio concentrated in a single industry, such as companies actively engaged in blockchain technology, makes it vulnerable to factors affecting the companies. The Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. Blockchain technology may never develop optimized transactional processes that lead to realized economic returns for any company in which the Fund invests. The Fund will invest at least 80% of the Fund\u2019s net assets in equity securities of companies actively involved in the development and utilization of blockchain technologies. Such investments may be subject to the following risks: the technology is new and many of its uses may be untested; theft, loss or destruction; competing platforms and technologies; cybersecurity incidents; developmental risk; lack of liquid markets; possible manipulation of blockchain-based assets; lack of regulation; third party product defects or vulnerabilities; reliance on the Internet; and line of business risk. The investable universe may include companies that partner with or invest in other companies that are engaged in transformational data sharing or companies that participate in blockchain industry consortiums. The Fund will invest in the securities of foreign companies. Securities issued by foreign companies present risks beyond those of securities of U.S. issuers.<\/p>\n<p>The Fund may have exposure to cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin indirectly through investment funds, including through an investment in the Bitcoin Investment Trust (\u201cGBTC\u201d), a privately offered, open-end investment vehicle. Even when held indirectly, investment vehicles like GBTC 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. Many significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of investments in cryptocurrencies are uncertain and such investments, even indirectly, may produce non-qualifying income for purposes of the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally accorded to regulated investment companies.<\/p>\n<p>Amplify Investments LLC is the Investment Adviser to the Fund, and Toroso Investments, LLC serves as the Investment Sub-Adviser.<\/p>\n<p>Amplify ETFs are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC.<\/p>\n<p>      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"__GNW8366DE3E__IMG\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/newsroom\/ti?nf=ODExMzgxMiMzODg1MzI1IzIxOTkzNzA=\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n      <br \/>\n      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"__GNW8366DE3E__IMG\" src=\"https:\/\/ml.globenewswire.com\/release\/track\/536293dd-1bf4-418c-81d1-745877873229\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"mw_contactinfo\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BLOK\u2019s portfolio of blockchain-related stocks and indirect bitcoin exposure is up 64.39% over the 1-year period CHICAGO, Dec. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Amplify ETFs is pleased to announce the Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (NYSE: BLOK) has surpassed $250 million in assets under management.
