Financial journalist opinion

SWAN: Tail Risk ETF With A Mixed Track Record

SWAN participates in SPY's upside with LEAP call options while protecting capital from fast market crashes with a buffer of treasuries. The fund has delivered lower returns and similar drawdowns to SPY, but with significantly reduced volatility since inception. While SWAN is effective during sharp market crashes, it offers limited protection in slow downturns.

Legal & General praised for 'swan-like' turnaround but shares still under water

Legal & General Group PLC (LSE:LGEN) shares fell 1.7% despite the life insurer unveiling a larger than expected £500 million buyback, with analysts pointing out a few niggles in the numbers but its overall "swan-like" performance. The recent streamlining of the business into three core areas – Institutional Retirement, Asset Management and UK Retail – resulted in non-core sales during the year of its US Protection business for £1.8 billion and Cala Homes for £1.35 billion, which will result in a further share buyback of £1 billion when the former is completed, in addition to the one announced today.

SWAN: How The ETF May Perform Amid A Tariff Selloff

The 2025 trade war is causing significant market volatility, making risk-balanced ETFs like Amplify BlackSwan Growth & Treasury Core ETF appealing. SWAN balances risk by allocating more to US government bonds and using in-the-money options for S&P 500 exposure, capping downside risk. SWAN's bond holdings are conservative, benefiting from economic slowdowns but vulnerable to rising yields and potential positive stock-bond correlations.

SWAN: An Interesting Allocation Fund For A Tail Risk Event

The Amplify BlackSwan Growth & Treasury Core ETF aims to hedge against market drops while allowing for potential stock market gains through a 90% Treasuries and 10% S&P 500 LEAP options mix. SWAN's unique allocation leverages the inverse relationship between Treasuries and equities, cushioning losses during downturns and increasing equity exposure as markets rise. Despite a poor performance in 2022 due to an unprecedented bear market in Treasuries, SWAN remains a compelling option for risk-adjusted returns across varying market conditions.

SWAN: Hedged Equity Vehicle Looking Appealing

The Amplify BlackSwan Growth & Treasury Core ETF aims to hedge investor returns during unexpected market dislocations. The fund is composed of long-dated S&P 500 options and a ladder of treasury bonds. The fund has performed well in 2024, being up over 6%, outperforming the iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF and providing an embedded hedge.

SWAN: Solid 2024 And Great Prospects, But Here's The Catch

Amplify BlackSwan Growth & Treasury Core ETF has had a decent performance in 2024, up 4% YTD and 19% since October 2023. The Fund is a diversified stock-and-government bond fund that uses leverage to increase expected returns. While SWAN's losses are capped, there are still risks associated with a decline in the S&P 500 and treasury prices.

SWAN Vs. IGLB: Which Helped You Sleep Better At Night?

We had previously suggested IGLB as the better choice to Sleep Well At Night over SWAN. We examine the performance of the two since our last article. We tell you why we think outlook for both funds has deteriorated.

SCHD is an absolute SWAN ETF: COWZ is even better

I wrote about the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) last week and noted that it was one of the best Sleep Well at Night (SWAN) funds in the market. It combines strong dividend growth and high yield, which explains why it has grown its total assets to over $49 billion.
