Our read on FEBT
BAllianz Life's hedging desk, packaged as an ETF. FEBT absorbs the first 10% of its S&P 500 ETF benchmark's price decline over each February-to-January stretch, trading away gains above a cap, at a fee under the buffer-fund norm.
The Fund seeks to match the share-price return of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust over a specified one-year outcome period, subject to an upside cap and protection against the first 10% of losses.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.74% a year, under the buffer-fund median and below same-benchmark rival BAPR (0.79%) and laddered BUFR (0.95%).
- The options work is run in-house by AllianzIM, the Allianz Life arm that hedges the insurer's own annuity book, rather than farmed out.allianzlife.com
- Plain, repeatable terms: a 10% downside buffer against the S&P 500 ETF's price return, capped upside, reset for a fresh one-year period every February 1.sec.gov
- Sits in the upper half of its buffer-ETF peer group, helped by pricing below the cohort median.
Worth knowing
- Buffer and cap are set before fees (the prospectus puts the net buffer at 9.26%), and the payoff tracks share price only, so index dividends sit out.sec.gov
- Buy mid-period and you get whatever cap and buffer remain, not the headline terms. The clean slate arrives each February 1.sec.gov
- One of the smaller, thinner-traded funds in the buffer aisle, so the spread between bid and ask deserves a look before trading.
