In short

AUGP No data

SIXD Most buffer ETFs lock you into a full year. SIXD runs six-month laps: the first 10% of a decline in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust is cushioned, a fresh cap is set each period, and the clock restarts every June and December.

Stated mandate

AUGP No data

SIXD The Fund seeks 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 and a buffer against the first 10% of losses.

Why people hold it

AUGP No data

  • SIXD Six-month laps instead of twelve. The 10% buffer and a new cap reset at each period start (June 1 and December 1), so terms are repriced twice as often as an annual buffer fund.
  • At 0.74%, it comes in under the typical shallow-buffer fund's 0.79%, and under Innovator's monthly B-series (BJUN, PJUN) charging 0.79%.
  • In a crowded shallow-buffer field, this rates as one of the stronger implementations in its peer group, with terms defined in the fund's own filings rather than left to discretion.
  • AllianzIM runs the same six-month recipe on staggered start months (SIXZ, SIXJ, SIXF), so the Jun/Dec version is one rung of a ladder rather than a one-off.

Worth knowing

AUGP No data

  • SIXD The cap is what pays for the cushion. Upside is limited every period, and the next period's cap isn't known until that period begins.
  • Outcomes are measured point to point at the period's end. Buy mid-period and you inherit whatever buffer and cap remain, and declines past 10% land on you.
  • Launched in 2024, so the track record is short, and distributions haven't been part of the picture here.
