YYY: More Funds But Less Returns
The Amplify CEF High-Income ETF (YYY) continues to receive a sell rating due to ongoing net asset value (NAV) erosion and inherent structural issues. Despite offering a high yield of 12.4%, the fund's payouts are unsustainable, leading to long-term declines in share price. A recommendation for a 30% dividend cut has been made to stabilize NAV, as the current monthly income does not justify the associated risks.
