AllianzIM Expands Lineup of U.S. Large Cap Buffered ETFs

AllianzIM Launches More Buffered ETFs with Outcome Periods for Every Month Beginning November 1

Allianz Investment Management LLC (AllianzIM), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life®), announced today it is launching its monthly series of U.S. Large Cap Buffered Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) suite, starting with new November funds. The two new ETFs are the AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Nov ETF (NYSE Arca: NVBT) and the AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Nov ETF (NYSE Arca: NVBW).

“Given the volatility in equity markets right now, we have found that investors want more options in the Buffered ETF space,” said Johan Grahn, Head of ETF Market Strategy at AllianzIM. “As these challenging conditions persist, investors increasingly understand and appreciate how Buffered ETFs can help by allowing them to participate in market upside with downside buffers against losses.”

As market conditions remain turbulent due to aggressive Federal Reserve tightening and stubborn inflation, the new funds provide additional tools for investors to mitigate risk in portfolios. AllianzIM’s Buffered ETF solutions seek to provide downside risk mitigation through a Buffer against the first 10% and 20% of market losses and offer upside potential by tracking the share price returns of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust up to a stated Cap. The new November ETFs feature a twelve-month Outcome Period and initial Cap noted below.

Offered at an expense ratio of 74 basis points, AllianzIM’s extensive suite of Buffered ETFs with six and 12-month outcome periods provide the opportunity for investors to invest in ETFs with new Caps and Buffers every month. The 12-month Outcome Period of the November series ETFs will be November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2023. Each Outcome Period reflects a new stated Cap commensurate with prevailing market conditions, allowing investors to remain invested with a level of risk mitigation.

“Launching a monthly series helps meet investor demand in the rapidly growing Buffered ETF space,” said Brian Muench, President of ETFs and AllianzIM. “After carefully observing ETF market flows and the strong desire from investors who value pre-defined outcomes of downside mitigation in their portfolios, we decided to provide more entry points as investors tend to buy these products near the start of an Outcome Period.”

The AllianzIM Buffered ETFs seek to leverage AllianzIM’s core strengths, which include risk management experience and in-house hedging capabilities. As part of one of the largest asset management and diversified insurance companies in the world, AllianzIM, with AUM of $18.8 billion, is powered by the same proprietary in-house hedging platform that is used among affiliates to help manage more than $149 billion in hedged assets for institutional and retail investors around the globe. Offering a new way to help investors seek to mitigate risk and reduce volatility, these Buffered ETFs complement Allianz Life’s suite of annuity and life insurance products.
