The Amplify Energy & Natural Resources Covered Call ETF (NDIV) combines high-dividend energy stocks with a covered call strategy to target over 10% annual income, currently yielding around 5%. Income comes from dividends in oil, gas, and chemical sectors and premiums from selling call options. However, income fluctuates with market volatility, as seen in a recent spike in March 2026 distributions linked to a VIX surge. While oil prices remain strong supporting dividends, some chemical holdings face financial strain, and normalized volatility suggests future income may decline from recent highs. NDIV has delivered strong total returns but investors should expect income closer to the 2024-2025 baseline rather than the elevated March payout.
