AMZY: Not A Forever Strategy, But Works For This Amazon Moment

  • AMZY is best used tactically when Amazon is consolidating, as the option-writing strategy thrives in flat or slow-growth markets. Current macro headwinds and high valuations make AMZY attractive versus holding AMZN outright, especially with elevated options premiums. AMZY delivers strong yield (~50%) and modest alpha, but investors should expect NAV erosion as capital is returned quickly via payouts.
