Overview

The Amplify Cybersecurity ETF, trading under the ticker HACK, is a technology sector fund managed by Amplify ETFs with $2.59 billion in assets under management. It currently holds an overall rank of #286 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of C with a score of 57.5 out of 100. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.6% and offers a dividend yield of 0.06%. With a current share price of $105.71, the fund's substantial asset base suggests significant investor adoption within the 17 ETFs tracked in its specific category. The combination of a mid-tier grade and a relatively high expense ratio contrasts with its large asset size, indicating a mature but competitively priced product in a crowded sector. Investors in this fund are exposed to the technology category while navigating a cost structure that is higher than the average for many passive index funds.

The fund's return profile shows a distinct acceleration over longer time horizons, starting with a -0.20% decline over one day and a -2.03% drop over one week. Monthly performance turned positive at +7.16%, which expanded significantly to +32.95% over three months and +31.79% over six months. Year-to-date returns reached +33.32%, while the one-year return stands at +22.45%, suggesting a recent consolidation after a period of rapid growth. The three-year return is notably higher at +106.48%, indicating strong cumulative performance over the longer term despite recent short-term volatility. This pattern highlights a divergence where short-term fluctuations are overshadowed by substantial gains over the past three years. The data reflects a trajectory where recent monthly and quarterly gains have driven the year-to-date and one-year figures to robust levels.

This ETF carries a High volatility label and a beta of 0.82, indicating that while its price swings are significant, they are slightly less sensitive to broad market movements than the average asset. The Sharpe ratio of 0.64 suggests the fund has generated a moderate amount of excess return per unit of risk taken over the measured period. A maximum drawdown of -21.90% reveals the extent of potential losses during market downturns, highlighting the risk of substantial temporary declines. The combination of high volatility and a beta below 1.0 implies the fund experiences large price movements that are somewhat dampened relative to the broader market. Investors should expect periods of sharp price action where the fund's downside risk, as seen in the drawdown, is a key consideration alongside its return generation.

HACK Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is — and average daily volume is 173K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $2.59B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: HACK is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
