The funds seek to deliver returns that match, at the end of a specified six-month or one-year period (outcome period), the returns of the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust either up to a predetermined cap or uncapped after surpassing the spread, while limiting downside losses by the amount of a specified buffer or floor, before fees and expenses. There is no guarantee the funds will achieve their investment objectives. The fund may not be suitable for all investors.
Investors may lose their entire investment, regardless of when they purchase shares, and even if they hold shares for an entire outcome period. Full extent of caps, buffers, floors, or spreads only apply if held for stated outcome period and are not guaranteed. The cap and spread may increase or decrease and may vary significantly after the end of the outcome period.
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.
To achieve the target outcomes sought by the fund for an outcome period, an investor must hold fund shares for that entire outcome period. An investor who purchases fund shares after the outcome period has begun or sells fund shares prior to the end of the outcome period may experience results that are very different from the investment objective sought by the fund for that outcome period. For example, if the outcome period has begun and the fund has increased in value to a level near to the cap, an investor purchasing at that price has little or no ability to achieve gains but remains vulnerable to downside risks. Alternatively, if the outcome period has begun and the fund has decreased in value beyond the starting buffer or floor, an investor purchasing shares at that price may not benefit from the buffer or floor. Similarly, if the outcome period has begun and the fund has increased in value, an investor purchasing shares at that price may not benefit from the buffer or floor until the fund’s value has decreased to its value at the commencement of the outcome period and then by another 5% for the floor.
In the event that the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust has gains in excess of the Cap for the Outcome Period, the fund will not participate in those gains beyond the cap. In the event that the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust has gains in excess of the Spread for the outcome period, the fund will participate in those gains without a cap. Despite the intended buffer or floor, a shareholder could lose their entire investment. An investment in the fund is only appropriate for shareholders willing to bear those losses. The cap, buffer, floor, or spread, and the fund’s position relative to each, should be considered before investing in the fund.
Buffers will be reduced and the spread will increase after taking into account management fees and other Fund fees and expenses.
The spread cost represents the upside performance a shareholder forgoes in return for the downside protection provided by the buffer. Any upside performance as measured at the end of the outcome period will be reduced by the spread cost and management fee. The Fund’s performance will not reflect the entirety of any upside performance of the reference asset.
FLEX Options Risk. The fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”). The fund bears the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the fund could suffer significant losses.
FLEX Options are customized equity or index options contracts that trade on an exchange, but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract terms like exercise prices, styles and expiration dates. An options contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right, but not the obligation, to buy (in the case of a call option), or to sell (in the case of a put option), a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price (commonly known as the “strike price”).
The funds are classified as non-diversified and may invest a relatively high percentage of their assets in a limited number of issuers.
In addition to the risks listed above, the funds also include buffered loss or floor risk, capped upside return risk, upside participation risk, correlation risk, cap change risk, outcome period risk, downside risk, counterparty risk, non-diversification risk, spread change risk, valuation risk, liquidity risk, tax risk, market risk, premium/discount risk, large-cap companies risk, management risk, large shareholder risk, active markets risk, operational risk, authorized participant concentration risk, derivatives risk, ETF risks, cash transactions risk, trading issues risk and market maker 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.

Unlike the Underlying ETFs, the Buffer Allocation Funds do not pursue a buffered strategy. The buffer is only provided by the Underlying ETFs, and the Buffer Allocation Funds themselves do not provide any stated buffer against losses. The Buffer Allocation Funds will not receive the full benefit of the Underlying ETFs’ Buffers. The Buffer Allocation Funds could have limited upside potential, and their return may be limited to the Caps of the Underlying ETFs. 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 including “Investor Considerations." There is no guarantee the Funds will achieve their investment objectives.
Underlying buffers and caps will be reduced after taking into account management fees and other fund fees and expenses.
Shareholders of these funds will experience investment returns that are different than the investment returns sought by the underlying ETFs.
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, capped upside return risk, upside participation risk, correlation risk, cap 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.

The S&P 500® Price Return Index is a broad measure of U.S. large-cap stocks and does not include reinvestment of dividends. SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust is an exchange-traded fund. It is designed to track the S&P 500 stock market index. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.
