MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pacer ETFs cuts fees on Swan SOS ETFs and launches eight new Moderate Buffer ETFs, expanding access to structured outcome strategies.

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 BlackSwan Growth & Treasury Core ETF (SWAN) has underperformed SPY since inception but could outperform in 2026 under certain macro conditions. SWAN employs a leveraged 40/60 stock-to-bond allocation using call options, aiming for better risk balance and downside protection than traditional 60/40 portfolios. Key risks include lack of protection against fixed-income declines and no exposure to alternative assets like gold, which have hindered recent performance.

Though the stock market has generally continued its upward trend so far in 2026, cracks may be appearing. A slowing labor market, the risk of an AI bubble collapse, and a Cyclically Adjusted Price-to-Earnings (CAPE) ratio around 40 all suggest that a crash may be looming for a market that is potentially overvalued.

Amplify ETFs today announced that the net asset value (NAV) of the Amplify BlackSwan Growth & Treasury Core ETF (SWAN) was decreased by $1.2713 per share.

Super Micro Computer (SMCI) is upgraded to Buy due to its extremely attractive 0.5x FY26 revenue multiple, despite ongoing margin pressures. SMCI faces volatile gross margins, intense competition from OEMs and ODMs, and management's inconsistent guidance, leading to market skepticism. Despite projected 65% FY26 revenue growth, SMCI's gross margin-adjusted revenue growth is estimated at only 11%, reflecting industry-wide margin compression.

Nobody can predict when the next major market downturn, or what finance academician Nassim Taleb calls a “black swan event,” will occur. For a portfolio that's ill-equipped to handle the next major market event, it could be its swan song when (not if) that takes place.

Amplify BlackSwan Growth & Treasury Core ETF (SWAN) offers a unique 60/90 leveraged portfolio, flipping traditional 60/40 allocations for risk balancing. SWAN primarily invests in short-to-medium duration US Treasuries and uses S&P 500 call options for equity exposure, capping downside risk. Current market conditions—attractive Treasury yields and elevated S&P 500 valuations—make SWAN appealing for both growth and defensive positioning.

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.
