AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap 6 Month Buffer10 Jun/Dec ETF (SIXD) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide specific buffered outcome investment results linked to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust over consecutive six-month outcome periods ending in June and December, including upside returns up to a predetermined cap and downside protection against the first 10% of losses before fees and expenses; it invests substantially all of its assets in instruments such as FLEX options, swaps, and other derivatives with economic characteristics similar to U.S. large cap equities. Launched on May 31, 2024, and domiciled in the United States with a net expense ratio of 0.74%, SIXD is advised by Allianz Investment Management LLC (AllianzIM), a Minneapolis-based registered investment adviser incorporated in 2001 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America, which leverages proprietary in-house hedging platforms to manage buffered outcome ETFs targeting institutional and retail investors seeking risk-managed exposure to the S&P 500 across U.S. markets. AllianzIM has expanded its U.S. Large Cap 6 Month Buffer10 ETF series in 2024 with launches including SIXD alongside Mar/Sep (SIXP), Sep (others), and others, followed by new quarterly reset buffered ETFs such as AIOO and QBSF in July 2025 and laddered allocation products like SPBX in early 2025, enhancing flexibility in outcome periods and downside protection offerings.
