TrueShares Structured Outcome (August) ETF (AUGZ) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that employs a buffer protect options strategy to provide investors with returns tracking the S&P 500 Price Index, while targeting a 10% downside buffer on the index's first losses over a one-year outcome period ending each August; the fund purchases call options and sells put options on the S&P 500 Price Index or corresponding ETFs, utilizing both standardized exchange-listed options and FLEX Options traded on the Cboe, supplemented by investments in U.S. Treasury bills and money market funds for collateral. AUGZ offers daily liquidity, portfolio transparency, and cost efficiency without the credit risk associated with structured notes, delivering uncapped upside participation subject to options pricing dynamics and an expense ratio of 0.79%; it forms part of TrueShares' broader Structured Outcome ETF series, which includes similarly structured funds aligned to different months. Launched on July 31, 2020, and listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange the following day, the ETF operates within the defined outcome segment of the equity ETF market, targeting retail and institutional investors seeking equity exposure with risk mitigation.
