DECU

📎 Investment Objective

The AllianzIM U.S. Equity Buffer15 Uncapped Dec ETF (DECU) seeks to provide investors with returns that track the S&P 500 Index, up to a stated cap, while providing a buffer against the first 15% of losses over an outcome period.

✨ Key Features

• Provides a 15% buffer against losses in the S&P 500 Index over a 1-year outcome period
• No upside cap, allowing full participation in S&P 500 gains above the buffer level
• Actively managed options-based strategy to achieve the buffer and uncapped upside
• Resets the outcome period annually in December

⚠️ Primary Risks

• Market risk: The fund's returns are tied to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and are subject to market volatility
• Options risk: The fund's use of options exposes it to the risks associated with the options market, including potential losses beyond the 15% buffer
• Outcome period risk: The fund's buffer and upside participation are only applicable for the specific 1-year outcome period
• Liquidity risk: The fund may experience lower trading volumes, which could impact its ability to execute trades

👤 Best For

DECU may be suitable for investors seeking equity market exposure with a level of downside protection, who have a medium to long-term investment horizon and are comfortable with the risks associated with options-based strategies.
