Understanding the AMPLIFY BLOOMBERG AI VALUE CHAIN ETF (AIVC)

The AMPLIFY BLOOMBERG AI VALUE CHAIN ETF (ticker: AIVC) is an exchange-traded fund designed to invest in companies related to the artificial intelligence value chain. As of October 2, 2026, this ETF is trading at $119.13.

What this ETF is trying to do

This ETF focuses on the companies involved in the AI industry. Instead of just looking at one type of company, it looks at various parts of the "value chain" that make AI work. Its Top Holdings include companies like Atlassian Corp Class A (4.45%), Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co (3.22%), Dell Technologies Inc (2.84%), Lumentum Holdings Inc (2.77%), and Microsoft Corp (2.73%). Because the list of holdings is partial, these are just some of the largest companies in the fund.

What the numbers show

The performance data shows significant growth over different time periods:

• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is approximately 75.68%.

• One-Year: The share-price return (price return) was approximately 81.43%. When including distributions, the one-year total return was approximately 81.74%.

• Three-Year: The share-price return was approximately 239.99%, while the total return was approximately 241.28%.

It is important to remember that "price return" only tracks the change in the share price, while "total return" includes the value of any distributions paid out.

Income and distribution explanation

AIVC has a distribution yield of approximately 0.10%. The trailing distributions were $0.116. The fund's distribution frequency is described as "irregular" or "less frequent," with only one payout recorded in the last 12 months. While some investors look for regular cash payments, this fund's primary focus appears to be on price growth rather than high income.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV erosion" refers to a decline in the Net Asset Value (the actual value of the assets held by the fund). The supplied data is sufficient to evaluate price erosion, but it does not include enough historical NAV-per-share data to confirm or rule out NAV erosion.

However, regarding price-based evidence, the fund has an erosion score of 100, which is labeled as "No price erosion detected." There is no severe erosion-risk flag for this ETF.

Pros

• Strong Growth: The fund has shown very high price returns over the last year and three years.

• Low Erosion Risk: The current erosion-risk measurement is rated as "good."

Cons

• Low Income: The distribution yield is very low, which may not appeal to investors seeking regular cash flow.

• Irregular Payouts: Distributions do not happen on a regular, predictable schedule.

Beginner takeaway

AIVC is an ETF focused on the AI industry that has experienced significant share-price growth recently. While it provides some distributions, they are infrequent and small compared to the overall price movement. Investors should distinguish between the rising share price and the much smaller distribution yield when looking at how the fund performs.
