AUGPBPGIM S&P 500 Buffer 12 ETF - August

AUGTCAllianzIM U.S. Equity Buffer10 Aug ETF

In short

AUGP No data

AUGT A one-year seatbelt on the S&P 500. It absorbs the first 10% of the decline in the big S&P 500 ETF it references and gives up gains above a cap that resets annually, all for 0.74% a year, below the shallow-buffer median.

Stated mandate

AUGP No data

AUGT The fund seeks to match SPY’s share-price return over a one-year outcome period, subject to an upside cap and protection against the first 10% of SPY losses.

Why people hold it

AUGP No data

  • AUGT At 0.74% it undercuts the 0.79% median for shallow-buffer funds, including August-dated peer BAUG. Fee drag comes straight out of the cap you get.
  • The reference is the S&P 500 ETF itself, not an abstract index, and the buffer absorbs the first 10% of its share-price decline over the outcome period.
  • AllianzIM runs the same 10% structure in other calendar months (JULT, SEPT, OCTT) at the same fee, and this one sits in the upper half of its peer group.

Worth knowing

AUGP No data

  • AUGT The cap is reset for each new outcome period off option prices at the time, so the ceiling shifts from year to year and is not known in advance.
  • Buy mid-period and you inherit whatever buffer and cap remain, not the headline 10%. The stated terms describe a hold from one reset to the next.
  • Thinly traded on a small asset base, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than in the giants of the buffer aisle.
