The rise of Amplify ETFs is one of the more interesting stories in the U.S. ETF industry. Although it only launched its first ETF under that brand in 2016, its founder, Christian Magoon, was a well-known figure in the ETF space long before that.

Amplify CWP International Enhanced Dividend Income ETF delivered ~30% total return with lower volatility, outperforming the S&P 500's ~10%. IDVO's portfolio has shifted toward defensives, real assets, and commodity-linked geographies, reducing tech and financials, preparing for stagflation or flat markets. The ETF's selective, conservative call-writing strategy supplements over 5% yield, prioritizing NAV stability and upside capture over aggressive premium income.

Amplify CWP International Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (IDVO) offers active covered call exposure with global diversification, foreign currency benefits, and a robust 5–6% yield. IDVO's strategy blends quality, dividend growth, and momentum, selectively selling covered calls on 30–60% of its portfolio to balance income and upside. The fund's ADR constraint limits its universe but still provides meaningful foreign and sector diversification, with notable allocations to Canada as well financial, energy and materials stocks.

Most income ETFs draw from a single well: either dividends or options premium. The Amplify CWP International Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (NYSEARCA:IDVO) draws from three simultaneously, and the way it selects holdings is what separates it from passive income funds.
