Amplify launches actively managed income ETF on the JSE, expanding access to a proven strategy

Amplify Investment Partners today announced the launch of the Amplify Strategic Income Satrix Feeder Actively Managed ETF, expanding access to its actively managed income capability through a transparent, exchange-traded structure. The ETF will list on 11 February 2026 under the instrument code AMPSTI.

The new AMETF provides investors with a simple, liquid option to access Amplify’s established multi-asset income capability by operating as a feeder into the Amplify SCI Strategic Income Fund – a long-standing strategy with a proven track record.

Wade Witbooi, Managing Director at Amplify Investment Partners, said: “The Amplify SCI Strategic Income Fund has been a top decile performer relative to similar funds over 10 years, and the actively managed ETF structure adds an additional access point for investors who increasingly use modern brokerage and investment platforms as part of their financial planning.”

Through active portfolio construction, managed by Terebinth Capital across a diversified range of income-generating assets, the strategy targets returns in excess of cash (STeFI + 1%), while managing volatility and prioritising capital protection.

The underlying fund is designed to deliver a high level of income while preserving capital by actively positioning across the full spectrum of South African fixed-income assets.

These include government and inflation-linked bonds, corporate bonds, listed property, preference shares, and money market instruments, with the flexibility to invest offshore as permitted by legislation.

A strategic growth path for Amplify

“From our early foundations, we’ve built a leading asset management firm across long-only and hedge funds, expanded partnerships with top-tier investment managers and continued to innovate in how we bring those capabilities to market,” said Witbooi.

“We know that income investing is ultimately about discipline and process, not forecasts,” adds Witbooi. “With our partner managers, our approach focuses on how capital is positioned through different market conditions, with a clear emphasis on agility, diversification, risk awareness and consistency over time.”

Classified as South African – Multi-Asset – Income, the AMETF is designed for investors seeking stable income where capital preservation is a primary consideration.

“This strategy is meticulously managed by Terebinth Capital, which operates calmly in uncertainty,” Witbooi added. “Rather than relying on a single source of yield, the portfolio is actively and flexibly managed across income-generating assets to balance income opportunities across the spectrum with resilience.”

Amplify’s partnership with Satrix enables broader access to its investment process while preserving adviser and investor independence. Yusuf Wadee, Head of Exchange Traded Products at Satrix adds: “This AMETF leverages Satrix’s ETF structuring and administration infrastructure, while drawing on Amplify’s investment management capabilities. Investor demand for AMETFs continues to accelerate, and we anticipate even greater innovation and expansion in this space in 2026.”

Investing beyond purpose

Witbooi adds: “Strong investment performance allows us to focus on measurable outcomes and long-term impact, not only for our clients, but beyond the boardroom too. This includes supporting initiatives that address community upliftment and environmental crime in and around the Kruger National Park.

“With the support of our partners, we’re able to contribute to wildlife preservation, anti-poaching and ranger safety, as well as skills development and job creation in the Kruger and beyond. These efforts are intended to benefit future generations over time,” Witbooi concludes.

The Amplify Strategic Income Satrix Feeder Actively Managed ETF will be available to investors from 11 February 2026.
