Competitors
Key Competitors
- BIL
- GBIL
- USFR
- SGOV
Competitive Landscape
The short-term bond ETF market is dominated by large, established ETFs like BIL. SOFR's active management is an advantage, but also poses a risk if the managers underperform. Smaller AUM and higher expense ratio are disadvantages compared to the larger ETFs.
Financial Performance
Historical Performance: Historical performance data is limited due to the ETF's recent inception. Please refer to recent performance reports from reliable sources.

Market Dynamics
Market Environment Factors
Interest rate policy, credit spreads of financial institutions, and overall economic conditions influence the ETF's performance.
Growth Trajectory
Growth depends on the demand for short-term fixed income and the ETF's ability to outperform its benchmark.
Moat and Competitive Advantages
Competitive Edge
SOFR's advantage lies in its active management strategy, aiming to outperform passive benchmarks. The ETF invests in securities issued by financial institutions, specifically targeting floating rate securities linked to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). Active management allows for adjustments based on market conditions and creditworthiness. However, its success hinges on the fund managers' skill in navigating the short-term fixed-income market. Its competitive advantage compared to other similar ETFs is that it is actively managed to maximize the best return in the short-term investment strategy.
Risk Analysis
Volatility
Expected volatility is low due to the short-term nature and investment-grade quality of the holdings.
Market Risk
Principal risk, interest rate risk, and credit risk are associated with the underlying fixed income securities. Changes in SOFR rates may affect the ETFu2019s performance.
Investor Profile
Ideal Investor Profile
Risk-averse investors seeking current income and capital preservation. Investors looking for short-term fixed income exposure may find this ETF suitable.
Market Risk

Summary
The Amplify Samsung SOFR ETF is an actively managed ETF that seeks to provide current income by investing in short-term fixed-income securities issued by financial institutions. Its active management strategy differentiates it from passive competitors. However, its relatively small AUM and limited track record are factors to consider. Ideal for risk-averse investors prioritizing income and capital preservation, it may not be suitable for those seeking high growth.
