AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Jul ETF (JULW) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to match the share price returns of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust up to a specified cap while providing a buffer against the first 20% of losses over a defined one-year outcome period from July 1 to June 30, before fees and expenses; the fund invests substantially all of its assets in FLEX options referencing the underlying ETF to achieve these buffered outcomes. For the current outcome period ending June 30, 2025, the cap is 12.38% gross or 11.64% net of the 0.74% management fee, with the buffer at 20.00% gross or 19.26% net, and outcomes apply only if shares are held for the full period. The fund, launched on June 30, 2020, and previously traded as AZBL before October 31, 2022, operates in the U.S. large-cap equity segment targeting investors seeking defined-risk exposure to the S&P 500 Index via options-based strategies; it does not pay dividends from the underlying ETF and is non-diversified with high concentration in its FLEX options holdings.
AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Jul ETF is issued by AIM ETF Products Trust and managed by Allianz Investment Management LLC (AllianzIM), a registered investment adviser headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America, which traces its roots to 1896 and is part of the global Allianz SE network founded in 1890 in Munich, Germany.
In recent strategic changes, the fund is scheduled to transfer its primary listing from NYSE Arca to Cboe BZX Exchange and undergo a name change to AllianzIM U.S. Equity Buffer20 Jul ETF, effective on or about December 22, 2025, as part of a broader reorganization affecting approximately 30 similar buffered outcome ETFs; these shifts maintain the fund's investment objectives, strategies, and management team without requiring action from existing shareholders.
