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.
