Amplify International Enhanced Dividend Income ETF

IDVO

Market cap $425M

Income-focused investors have plenty of options at their disposal when it comes to exchange-traded funds (ETFs). One type of ETF that is gaining a lot of traction today is option income ETFs.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amplify ETFs announces September income distributions for its income ETFs.

International dividend ETFs like IDVO and VYMI offer attractive value, income, and diversification versus US stocks, benefiting from lower valuations and potential dollar weakness. IDVO's tactical option-selling strategy provides higher income without significant principal decay, but its total returns closely mirror non-option peers like VYMI. Expense ratios matter for long-term investors; VYMI's lower fee gives it a slight edge for compounding, while IDVO is better for those prioritizing higher distributions.

I am initiating a Buy rating on IDVO for its balanced risk profile and strong performance despite currency headwinds. IDVO's tactical covered call strategy and sector allocation have driven high yields and total returns since inception, outperforming international peers like SCHY. The fund's diversified holdings, disciplined rebalancing, and income focus provide stability and a partial hedge against dollar weakness.

Despite recent U.S. market highs, global uncertainties make international diversification appealing, especially with emerging markets projected to outpace the U.S. long-term. Amplify CWP International Enhanced Dividend Income ETF offers a diversified, actively managed portfolio with a strong 5%+ yield and monthly distributions. IDVO's covered call strategy provides high, reliable income, making it ideal for retirees seeking steady cash flow in tax-advantaged accounts.

SCHY offers low-cost, stable international dividend income, ideal for conservative investors seeking reliability, tax clarity, and capital preservation in uncertain markets. IDVO provides higher monthly yield via covered calls and return of capital, suiting aggressive, income-focused investors comfortable with higher risk and NAV erosion. Both funds diversify away from U.S. market risk, which is valuable given current overvaluations and global uncertainties, but serve distinct portfolio roles.

IDVO delivers diversified international exposure with active stock selection, value and growth tilts, and tactical sector/country allocations for balanced risk. The fund combines dividend income and active call writing, targeting a robust 5-8% yield while preserving capital and enabling NAV growth. Performance outpaces comparable international and value ETFs, offering strong downside protection and effective US market diversification.

The U.S. remains the dominant global economic power, but ongoing trade tensions may threaten its long-term leadership. I continue to invest in American businesses, but believe diversifying internationally is prudent for long-term wealth building. Uncertainty from U.S. trade policies could prompt other nations to unify and reduce reliance on America, shifting global dynamics.

Coming off stellar gains from last year, many entered 2025 expecting limited upside. But upside may be even more limited following the recent rebound in equities as the tariff rhetoric cools.
