AUGPBPGIM S&P 500 Buffer 12 ETF - August

DECZCTrueShares Structured Outcome (December) ETF

In short

AUGP No data

DECZ Most buffer ETFs trade your upside for the cushion. DECZ skips the hard cap: it aims to absorb the first 8% to 12% of S&P 500 price-index losses each 12-month period, at 0.79% with no waiver.

Stated mandate

AUGP No data

DECZ The Fund seeks to track the S&P 500 Price Return Index before fees and expenses while cushioning the first 8% to 12% of index losses during each twelve-month period.

Why people hold it

AUGP No data

  • DECZ No stated ceiling on gains. TrueShares built this series around leaving the rally side open, with upside set by options pricing rather than a fixed cap.true-shares.comtrue-shares.com 2
  • The buffer is spelled out in the fund's own documents: the first 8% to 12% of index losses per 12-month period, with the manager targeting 10%.true-shares.com
  • The payoff is built from exchange-listed FLEX options inside a 1940 Act fund, not a bank-issued note, so no third-party credit sits behind it.sec.gov

Worth knowing

AUGP No data

  • DECZ Uncapped is not full participation. Option costs come out of the upside, and the reference is the S&P 500 price index, so index dividends sit outside the return.true-shares.com
  • Fee is 0.79% with no waiver, near the category median. Cheaper buffer builds exist, including AUGP and PQX at 0.50%.
  • Small and thinly traded, and the buffer is measured from each period's start, so a mid-period buy gets a different cushion than a day-one holder.sec.gov
