Our read on OCTT
BA one-year seatbelt on the S&P 500, rebuckled every October 1. OCTT cushions the first 10% of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust's price losses and trades away gains above a cap, with the options book run by Allianz Life's own investment arm.
The Fund seeks to match the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust’s share-price return at the end of each one-year Outcome Period, subject to an upside Cap and a buffer against the first 10% of losses.
Why people hold it
- The deal is written down, not implied: first 10% of the reference ETF's price losses buffered, upside capped, over a fixed October 1 to September 30 window that resets like clockwork.allianzim.com
- 0.74% a year, a notch under the typical shallow-buffer S&P fund and cheaper than the 0.79% charged by the Innovator October series (BOCT).
- Hedging is the parent's day job. AllianzIM is a wholly owned unit of Allianz Life, and it manages the FLEX options in-house instead of outsourcing the trade.tradersmagazine.comallianzim.com
- Running since 2020, it's one of the sturdier builds among shallow-buffer S&P funds, sitting in the upper half of a crowded 52-fund field.
Worth knowing
- The 10% cushion is a full-period promise. Buy in mid-period or sell early and you get whatever the options are worth that day, not the headline buffer.allianzim.com
- Buffer and cap are stated before fees and expenses, so the 0.74% comes out of whatever the structure delivers.allianzim.com
- Thinly traded and built without an income component, so limit orders matter and the whole result shows up in the share price.
