Achieve outcomes faster with a quarterly buffered ETF that seeks to absorb 100% of downside losses.
Market drops don’t have to take you with them.
Markets are unpredictable – but your strategy doesn’t have to be. If capital preservation is your goal, consider a fund that combines 100% downside protection, upside participation, and quarterly resets.
The AllianzIM U.S. Equity Buffer100 Protection ETF (AIOO) seeks to track the returns of the S&P 500®, with 100% buffered protection on the downside and an uncapped upside participation rate that lets you grow endlessly as the market rises.
Every 3 months, AIOO resets with a new buffer and participation rate – frequently refreshing your downside protection and upside potential.
No ceiling on growth potential
While most 100% buffered ETFs cap your growth potential, AIOO seeks endless upside exposure via a participation rate. This means, you get a pre-determined percentage of upside returns in positive markets every quarter. At the end of each 3-month outcome period, any realized gains are retained and your participation rate and buffer reset.

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.

The outcomes that the Fund seeks to provide do not include the costs associated with purchasing shares of the Fund or the Fund's annualized management fee. The participation rate and buffer will be further reduced by brokerage commissions, trading fees, taxes, and non-routine or extraordinary expenses not included in the Fund's unitary management fee.
