Our read on SIXP

ETF.net Research

In short

BTen percent of the downside absorbed, the upside capped, and the whole deal re-struck every six months instead of once a year. SIXP is the March/September dial in AllianzIM's semiannual buffer lineup.

Stated mandate

The Fund is designed to match the share-price return of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust at the end of each six-month Outcome Period, subject to an upside Cap. It also seeks to absorb the first 10% of the reference ETF’s losses.

Why people hold it

  • Absorbs the first 10% of the reference S&P 500 ETF's decline over each six-month outcome period, with the upside capped.
  • Resets twice a year, in March and September, so the cap is re-struck against fresher pricing more often than in a standard 12-month buffer fund.
  • 0.74% a year, a shade under the typical fee among shallow-buffer funds.
  • A 1940 Act fund holding its own options package rather than a bank note, and it sits in the upper half of a crowded shallow-buffer field.

Worth knowing

  • The cap is the price of the cushion, and each new cap is set at the reset, moving with volatility and rates. Enter mid-period and your cushion and ceiling differ from the stated terms.
  • It targets the reference ETF's share-price return, so dividends aren't part of the deal, and this fund hasn't been paying distributions.
  • A small, lightly traded fund next to the biggest buffer names, so spreads can be wider.
