Our read on APRW

ETF.net Research

CThe April door in AllianzIM's buffer lineup: one year of the big S&P 500 tracker ETF's price move, cushioned against the first 20% of losses and capped on the upside, with the clock resetting every April 1.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to match the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust’s share-price return over the current one-year Outcome Period, subject to an upside Cap, while buffering the first 20% of losses.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Absorbs the first 20% of the reference S&P 500 ETF's share-price decline over each one-year outcome period, running April 1 to March 31, then resetting.
  2. 02Actively managed, but the contract is mechanical: a stated 20% buffer against one well-known reference ETF, not a manager's stock picks.
  3. 03One month in AllianzIM's rolling series (MAYW runs the May cycle), so start dates can be laddered instead of pinned to a single entry point.
  4. 04Running since 2020, and it lands in the upper half of a crowded field of deep 20% buffer funds on our review.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Upside is capped, and the cap is reset each April at whatever options cost then. Buffer and cap apply to the full period, so mid-period exits get neither intact.
  2. 020.74% is the going rate here, not a discount: PSFM and PSFJ charge 0.49% and PBFR 0.50% for 20% buffers.
  3. 03Modest assets and light trading versus the category's biggest names, so limit orders matter. The structure targets price outcomes, not income.
