AIOONo cap

AIOO: reference 0.0% since period start, fund 0.0%; buffer Floor; no cap; No cap.

JANTBetween buffer and cap

JANT: reference +11.8% since period start, fund +9.7%; buffer 0 to −10; cap +15.6%; Between buffer and cap.

These are two different products. AIOO is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. JANT is a buffer fund, which absorbs the first part of a fall and leaves everything below it with the holder.

AIOO has no cap. It takes 30% of whatever the index does, where JANT takes all of the rise up to 15.6% and nothing above it.

Both are AllianzIM funds, so the difference between them is the terms rather than the house.

Where each one stands today

AIOO resets first, on Dec 31, 2026, 92 days from now; JANT runs to Dec 31, 2026, 92 days. A fall from here reaches AIOO’s buffer after 0.0% and JANT’s after 9.6%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.

Every figure is ETFIQ’s own, from the issuer’s published outcome-period terms. A buffer ETF holds FLEX options on its reference index rather than shares, so there is no holdings overlap between two of them to report.
