AllianzIM Announces New Ticker Symbols for Eight Buffered Outcome ETFs

Allianz Investment Management LLC (AllianzIM), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life^®), announced a ticker symbol change for eight existing AllianzIM Buffered Outcome ETFs effective on October 31, 2022.

The ticker change is a move towards simplicity and continuity as the firm seeks to expand their Buffered Outcome suite with additional funds. The new tickers start by depicting a three-letter indicator for the outcome period month followed by either a “T” to represent ten for the Buffer10 funds, or “W” to represent twenty for the Buffer20 funds. The change in each fund ticker symbol will have no effect on its investment objective, strategy or fees and expenses and no action is required by current shareholders of the funds as a result of this change.

The AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 and Buffer20 ETFs seek to match the returns of the reference asset up to a stated upside cap, while seeking to provide a Buffer against the first 10% or 20% of the reference asset losses for the current Outcome Period.

Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal.

Investors may lose their entire investment, regardless of when they purchase shares, and even if they hold shares for an entire Outcome Period. Full extent of Caps and Buffers only apply if held for stated Outcome Period and are not guaranteed. The Cap may increase or decrease and may vary significantly. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. For a prospectus with this and other information about the Fund, please visit www.allianzim.com or call 877.429.3837. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

The Funds seek to deliver returns that match, at the end of a specified one-year period (outcome period) the returns of the S&P 500 Price Return Index or SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust up to a predetermined Cap, while limiting downside losses by the amount of a specified Buffer, before fees and expenses. There is no guarantee the funds will achieve their investment objectives. You may lose your entire investment, regardless of when you purchase shares, and even if you hold shares for an entire Outcome Period. The Fund may not be suitable for all investors.
