SPBU

AllianzIM Buffer15 Uncapped Allocation ETF

  • ETF Summary

    The fund seeks to provide capital appreciation with downside risk mitigation.

  • ETF Strategy

    SPBU, the AllianzIM Buffer15 Uncapped Allocation ETF, is a fund-of-funds solution that ladders the entire lineup of all 12 AllianzIM Buffer15 Uncapped ETFs in one ticker – so you don’t have to monitor individual funds. Each month, one of the underlying ETFs resets back to its full 15% buffer for the new 12-month outcome period, with an adjusted spread based on market volatility.

Reasons to Consider SPBU

  • Single-ticker solution

    SPBU holds an equally weighted allocation of all 12 AllianzIM Buffer15 Uncapped ETFs.

  • Bull market strategy

    The basket of underlying ETFs seek downside risk mitigation with uncapped equity upside, less a predetermined spread.

  • Monthly resets

    Each month, one of the underlying ETFs resets back to its full 15% buffer for a new annual outcome period.

Fees and expenses will reduce performance. There is no guarantee the funds will achieve their investment objectives. You may lose your entire investment, regardless of when you purchase shares, and even if you hold shares for an entire Outcome Period. The fund may not be suitable for all investors.

Shareholders of these funds will experience investment returns that are different than the investment returns sought by the underlying ETFs.

Unlike the underlying ETFs, the fund itself does not pursue a buffered strategy nor is it subject to a spread. The buffer is only provided by the underlying ETFs and the fund itself does not provide any stated buffer against losses. The laddered approach of the fund may cause the fund to not receive the full intended benefit of any individual underlying ETF’s buffer. The fund will not participate in underlying ETF returns up to and including the amount of the stated spread of the underlying ETF. The underlying Buffered Outcome ETFs investment strategies are different from more typical investment products, and the funds may be unsuitable for some investors. It is important that investors understand the investment strategy before making an investment. For more information regarding whether an investment in the Funds is right for you, please see the prospectus. There is no guarantee the Funds will achieve their investment objectives.

The underlying fund's assets are expected to be principally composed of FLEX Options, the value of which is derived from the performance of their underlying reference asset. However, because the value of the underlying FLEX Options is affected by, among other things, changes in the value of the reference asset, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual and implied volatility of the reference asset, and the remaining time until the FLEX Options expire, the underlying fund's NAV will not directly correlate on a day-to-day basis with the returns experienced by their reference asset. While the fund’s investment adviser, Allianz Investment Management LLC, generally anticipates that the fund’s NAV will move in a similar direction as their reference asset, the fund’s NAV may not increase or decrease at the same rate as their reference asset, and it is possible they may move in different directions. During the underlying funds outcome period, the movement of the fund’s NAV is not anticipated to match that of the reference asset.

The funds are classified as non-diversified and may invest a relatively high percentage of their assets in a limited number of issuers. The funds may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities in attempting to meet their investment objective.

The Buffer Allocation Funds’ Principal Risks include fund-of-funds risk, management risk, underlying ETF risk, non-diversification risk, tax risk from investment in underlying ETFs, market risk, premium/discount risk, large shareholder risk, active markets risk, operational risk, authorized participant concentration risk, trading issues risk, and market maker risk. In addition, the Funds bear the investment risks of the investments of the Underlying ETFs. The principal risks associated with each Underlying ETF include FLEX options risk, buffered loss risk, upside participation risk, correlation risk, spread change risk, investment objective risk, outcome period risk, downside risk, counterparty risk, valuation risk, liquidity risk, tax risk, SPY ETF risk, equity securities risk, large-cap companies risk, information technology sector risk, and cash transactions risk.

Shares of the fund trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at or above the Fund’s NAV. The market prices of the shares generally will fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV, as well as the relative supply of and demand for shares on the Exchange. Brokerage commission will reduce returns.

Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. For a prospectus with this and other information about the Fund, please call 877.429.3837 or review the prospectus. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
