ETF-151 (R-10/2022)
Letter from the President (unaudited)
Dear Shareholders,
Thank you for being an investor in the AllianzIM Buffered Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”). As part of one of the largest asset management and diversified insurance companies in the world, Allianz Investment Management LLC (“AllianzIM”) maintains a long track record of developing and executing risk management strategies. The AllianzIM Buffered ETFs (the “Funds”) are risk mitigation solutions which seek to provide downside risk mitigation through a Buffer against the first 10% and 20% of market losses and offer upside potential by tracking market returns up to a stated Cap. The AllianzIM ETF platform offers 12 Buffered ETFs, including both 12-month and 6-month Outcome Period solutions with additional funds expected to launch. Please note that the fiscal year end for the Funds has changed from September 30 to October 31, except for the AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Nov ETF and AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Nov ETF, which already have a fiscal year end of October 31. Therefore, this Annual Report covers the period immediately following September 30, 2021, the date of the last annual report, through October 31, 2022, the end of the Funds’ new fiscal year.
For the one-year period that ended September 30, 2022, the S&P 500® Price Return Index (“S&P 500 Price Index”) returned (16.76)% and for the one-year period that ended October 31, 2022, the S&P 500 Price Index returned (15.92)%. For the period covered by this report, the macroeconomic environment has been particularly challenging for investors. Inflation has become more entrenched in the economy because of over-stimulated policies, and the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has run into a problematic situation in which interest rates must be lifted swiftly to create enough restrictive friction on consumer demand. We view that the era of easy money and ultra-loose monetary policy is in the rear-view mirror and the Fed has the pedal to the metal when it comes to raising the Fed funds rate to combat inflation. Compared to previous Fed hiking cycles, the current campaign from the Fed has proven to be one of the most aggressive as short-term rates have gone from zero-bound to above 3% in less than a year. The Fed has accepted the challenge of facing inflation head on and understands the collateral damage of slowing the economy may lead to a recession. Therefore, against a backdrop of rapidly rising rates, the potential of a recession, and continuing geopolitical risks, we believe it makes sense for investors to buckle up for the possibility of more volatile market events and look for ways to mitigate risks along the uncertain road ahead.
Accordingly, the inflation-induced shift of interest rates has already wreaked havoc across the spectrum of risk assets. Equities have experienced a sharp selloff and traditional safe-havens such as U.S. Treasuries appear to be less effective than they were in the past. Despite the market volatility and challenging market environment, we believe the Funds were able to demonstrate their risk management attributes and reduce the amount of negative market performance across their respective Outcome Periods while still offering upside potential. Our Buffered ETFs set initial average gross caps1 over the reporting periods for each Fund’s respective Outcome Period of 19.34% for the 12-month Buffer10 series, 11.78% for the 12-month Buffer20 series, and 8.38% for the 6-month Buffer10 series. We believe investment solutions designed to offer built-in risk mitigation with upside potential can be an important cornerstone of an investor’s portfolio by seeking to keep investors in the market and eliminate challenges in trying to time the market.
In closing, we understand that many investors have less desire for unlimited potential gains if they come with potential loss as noted in the Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (“Allianz Life”) Q2 2022 Quarterly Market Perceptions Study. The study indicated that only 25% of respondents believe it is worth the risk of potential loss to have unlimited potential gains. In addition, 65% of respondents noted that they are keeping more money than they should out of the market because they are worried about loss. AllianzIM Buffered ETFs may have a place in your portfolio to address investor concerns like those noted in the study. For more information regarding the Funds, please contact your investment professional or call 877-4AZ-ETFS. Furthermore, please visit our website at www.AllianzIMetfs.com to learn more about the Funds.
Sincerely,
Brian Muench

ALLIANZIM U.S. LARGE CAP BUFFER10 JAN ETF
ALLIANZIM U.S. LARGE CAP BUFFER20 JAN ETF
(together, the “Funds”)
Fund Performance Overview (unaudited)
The Funds seek to match the returns of the S&P 500® Price Return Index (“S&P 500 Price Index”) up to a stated upside Cap, while limiting downside losses to the S&P 500 Price Index by the amount of the stated Buffer over a twelve-month Outcome Period. The Funds’ most recent Outcome Period initiated on January 1, 2022. AllianzIM’s Buffered ETF solutions seek to provide downside risk mitigation through a Buffer against the first 10% and 20% of market losses. The Buffer for the AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Jan ETF is 10% and the AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Jan ETF is 20%. This market commentary will primarily focus on factors influencing the S&P 500 Price Index for the periods covered by this report. Because these periods do not align with the Outcome Period of the Funds, the Funds’ performance stated over the periods covered by this report does not align with the investment objective of the Funds for the applicable Outcome Period.
For the one-year period that ended September 30, 2022, the S&P 500 Price Index returned (16.76)% and for the one-year period that ended October 31, 2022, the S&P 500 Price Index returned (15.92)%. For the periods, the macroeconomic environment has been particularly challenging for investors. Inflation has become more entrenched in the economy because of over-stimulated policies, and the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has run into a problematic situation in which interest rates must be lifted swiftly to create enough restrictive friction on consumer demand. The Fed has accepted the challenge of facing inflation head on and understands the collateral damage of slowing the economy may lead to a recession. The inflation-induced shift of interest rates has wreaked havoc across the spectrum of risk assets with a selloff in equities, and traditional safe-havens such as U.S. Treasuries have proven to be less effective than they were in the past downturns.
The risk mitigation attributes of the 10% and 20% Buffer provided an opportunity for the Funds to soften market losses during the reporting periods and outperform the S&P 500 Price Index. Against a backdrop of rapidly rising rates, the potential of a recession, and continuing geopolitical risks, we believe it makes sense for investors to buckle up for the possibility of more volatile market events ahead and look for ways to mitigate risks along the uncertain road ahead.
Each AllianzIM Buffered ETF is subject to an upside return Cap that represents the absolute maximum percentage return that the Fund can achieve for its outcome period. Therefore, even though the Fund seeks to provide returns based upon the performance of the S&P 500 Price Index, if the return of the S&P 500 Price Index for the outcome period exceeds the Cap, the Fund will not experience those excess gains. The Funds’ website, www.AllianzIMetfs.com, provides important information relating to each Fund, including potential outcomes of an investment in the Fund. One cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

For the periods, the macroeconomic environment has been particularly challenging for investors. Inflation has become more entrenched in the economy because of over-stimulated policies, and the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has run into a problematic situation in which interest rates must be lifted swiftly to create enough restrictive friction on consumer demand. The Fed has accepted the challenge of facing inflation head on and understands the collateral damage of slowing the economy may lead to a recession. The inflation-induced shift of interest rates has wreaked havoc across the spectrum of risk assets with a selloff in equities, and traditional safe-havens such as U.S. Treasuries have proven to be less effective than they were in the past downturns.
The risk mitigation attributes of the 10% and 20% Buffer provided an opportunity for the Funds to soften market losses during the reporting periods and outperform the S&P 500 Price Index. Against a backdrop of rapidly rising rates, the potential of a recession, and continuing geopolitical risks, we believe it makes sense for investors to buckle up for the possibility of more volatile market events ahead and look for ways to mitigate risks along the uncertain road ahead.
Each AllianzIM Buffered ETF is subject to an upside return Cap that represents the absolute maximum percentage return that the Fund can achieve for its outcome period. Therefore, even though the Fund seeks to provide returns based upon the performance of the S&P 500 Price Index, if the return of the S&P 500 Price Index for the outcome period exceeds the Cap, the Fund will not experience those excess gains. The Funds’ website, www.AllianzIMetfs.com, provides important information relating to each Fund, including potential outcomes of an investment in the Fund. One cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund Performance Overview (unaudited)
The Funds seek to match the share price returns of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust up to a stated upside Cap, while limiting downside losses to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust by the amount of the stated Buffer over a twelve-month Outcome Period. The Funds’ most recent Outcome Period initiated on October 1, 2022. Prior to October 1, 2022, the Funds sought to match the returns of the S&P 500® Price Return Index (“S&P 500 Price Index”) up to a stated upside Cap, while limiting downside losses to the S&P 500 Price Index by the amount of the stated Buffer over a twelve-month Outcome Period from October 1 to September 30. AllianzIM’s Buffered ETF solutions seek to provide downside risk mitigation through a Buffer against the first 10% and 20% of market losses. The Buffer for the AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Oct ETF is 10% and the AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Oct ETF is 20%. This market commentary will primarily focus on factors influencing the S&P 500 Price Index for the periods covered by this report. Because the one-year period ended October 31, 2022 does not align with the Outcome Period of the Funds, the Funds’ performance stated over such period does not align with the investment objective of the Funds over the applicable Outcome Period.
For the one-year period that ended September 30, 2022, the S&P 500 Price Index returned (16.76)% and for the one-year period that ended October 31, 2022, the S&P 500 Price Index returned (15.92)%. For the periods, the macroeconomic environment has been particularly challenging for investors. Inflation has become more entrenched in the economy because of over-stimulated policies, and the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has run into a problematic situation in which interest rates must be lifted swiftly to create enough restrictive friction on consumer demand.

Because these periods do not align with the Outcome Period of the Fund, the Fund’s performance stated over the periods covered by this report does not align with the investment objective of the Fund for the applicable Outcome Period.
For the one-year period that ended September 30, 2022, the S&P 500 Price Index returned (16.76)% and for the one-year period that ended October 31, 2022, the S&P 500 Price Index returned (15.92)%. For the periods, the macroeconomic environment has been particularly challenging for investors. Inflation has become more entrenched in the economy because of over-stimulated policies, and the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has run into a problematic situation in which interest rates must be lifted swiftly to create enough restrictive friction on consumer demand. The Fed has accepted the challenge of facing inflation head on and understands the collateral damage of slowing the economy may lead to a recession. The inflation-induced shift of interest rates has wreaked havoc across the spectrum of risk assets with a selloff in equities, and traditional safe-havens such as U.S. Treasuries have proven to be less effective than they were in the past downturns.
The risk mitigation attributes of the 10% Buffer provided an opportunity for the Fund to soften market losses during the reporting periods and outperform the S&P 500 Price Index. Against a backdrop of rapidly rising rates, the potential of a recession, and continuing geopolitical risks, we believe it makes sense for investors to buckle up for the possibility of more volatile market events ahead and look for ways to mitigate risks along the uncertain road ahead.
Each AllianzIM Buffered ETF is subject to an upside return Cap that represents the absolute maximum percentage return that the Fund can achieve for its outcome period. Therefore, even though the Fund seeks to provide returns based upon the performance of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, if the return of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust for the outcome period exceeds the Cap, the Fund will not experience those excess gains. The Fund’s website, www.AllianzIMetfs.com, provides important information relating to the Fund, including potential outcomes of an investment in the Fund. One cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

(1) | The S&P 500 Price Return IndexSM is a large-cap, market-weighted, U.S. equities index that tracks the price (excluding dividends) of the leading companies that reflect the industries of the U.S. economy and is often considered a proxy for the stock market in general. |
* | The inception date, September 30, 2021, is the date the Fund started accruing expenses and commenced operations. Shares of SIXO were listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc. on October 1, 2021. |
The performance shown represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares when sold may be worth more or less than the original cost. The Fund’s most recent month-end performance can be obtained and is available upon request and without charge on the Fund’s website at www.AllianzIMetfs.com, or by calling 877-429-3837 (877-4AZ-ETFS).
Net asset value (“NAV”) returns are based on the dollar value of a single share of the Fund, calculated using the value of the underlying assets of the Fund minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV is typically calculated at 4:00 pm Eastern time on each business day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Market returns are based on the trade price at which shares are bought and sold on the NYSE Arca, Inc. using the last share trade. Market performance does not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Total Return reflects reinvestment of distributions on ex-date for NAV returns and payment date for Market Price returns. The market price of the Fund’s shares may differ significantly from their NAV during periods of market volatility. The referenced indices are shown for informational purposes only and are not meant to represent the Fund.
One cannot invest directly in an index.
The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and all capital gains. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
The AIM ETF Products Trust (the ‘‘Trust’’) is a Delaware statutory trust organized on December 17, 2019. The Trust is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the ‘‘1940 Act’’). The Trust currently offers shares of twelve separate series: AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Jan ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Jan ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Apr ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Apr ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Jul ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Jul ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Oct ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Oct ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Nov ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Nov ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap 6 Month Buffer10 Jan/Jul ETF and AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap 6 Month Buffer10 Apr/Oct ETF (each, a ‘‘Fund’’ and collectively, the ‘‘Funds’’). AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Nov ETF and AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Nov ETF commenced operations on October 28, 2022. Each Fund is a non-diversified series of the Trust. The Funds’ investment adviser is Allianz Investment Management LLC (the ‘‘Adviser’’). The Funds’ distributor is Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the ‘‘Distributor’’). Effective October 31, 2022, the Funds changed their fiscal year end from September 30 to October 31, except for the AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Nov ETF and AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Nov ETF, which already have a fiscal year end of October 31.
Effective October 1, 2022, the investment objectives and investment strategies of AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Oct ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Oct ETF and AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap 6 Month Buffer10 Apr/Oct ETF were revised to change the underlying reference asset of the FLexible EXchange® Options (‘‘FLEX Options’’) in which the Funds invest from the S&P 500® Price Return Index (the ‘‘S&P 500 Price Index’’) to the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust (the ‘‘Underlying ETF’’).
AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Jan ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Apr ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Jul ETF and AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap 6 Month Buffer10 Jan/Jul ETF seek to match, at the end of the current Outcome Period (as defined in such Fund’s prospectus), the returns of the S&P 500 Price Index, up to a specified upside Cap, while providing a Buffer against the first 10% of S&P 500 Price Index losses. The Cap and the Buffer will be reduced after taking into account management fees and other Fund fees and expenses.

The Underlying ETF is an exchange-traded unit investment trust that seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the S&P 500® Index (the “Underlying Index”). The Underlying Index is a large-cap, market-weighted, U.S. equities index. The Underlying ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by holding a portfolio of the common stocks that are included in the Underlying Index, with the weight of each stock in the Underlying ETF’s portfolio substantially corresponding to the weight of such stock in the Underlying Index. The Funds that invest in FLEX Options on the Underlying ETF will not receive or benefit from any dividend payments made by the Underlying ETF.
Each Fund is a separate series of the Trust, and each Share of a Fund represents an equal proportionate interest in the Fund. All consideration received by the Trust for a Fund’s Shares and all assets of a Fund belong solely to that Fund and would be subject to liabilities related thereto.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 (continued)
The net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) is determined as of the close of trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange (‘‘NYSE’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) is open for business. NAV is calculated for each Fund by taking the value of the Fund’s total assets, including interest or dividends accrued but not yet collected, less all liabilities, and dividing such amount by the total number of Shares outstanding. The result, rounded to the nearest cent, is the NAV per Share. The Board has designated the Adviser to perform each Fund’s fair value determinations in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Adviser’s fair valuation process is subject to the oversight of the Board.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘‘GAAP’’), which require the use of estimates and assumptions to be made by management. These may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements.
a. Basis of Presentation
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP as detailed in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (‘‘FASB’’) Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’). Each Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 ‘‘Financial Services – Investment Companies.’’
b. Investment Valuation
The Funds’ investments are valued daily at market or, in the absence of market value with respect to any investments, at fair value. Market value prices generally represent last sale or official closing prices from a national or foreign exchange (i.e., a regulated market) and are primarily obtained from third-party pricing services. Fair value prices represent any prices not considered market value prices and are determined in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board and the requirements of the 1940 Act. As a general principle, the current ‘‘fair value’’ of a security would be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Valuing the Funds’ assets using fair value pricing can result in using prices for those assets that may differ from current market valuations.
Options purchased and written by the Funds generally are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded, as of the close of the NYSE. The close of trading for some options exchanges may occur later than the closing of the NYSE. If market quotations are not available, the value of an option may be priced at fair value as determined in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board and the requirements of the 1940 Act.
The Funds place excess cash balances into overnight time deposits with one or more eligible deposit institutions that meet credit and risk standards approved by the Funds. These are classified as short-term investments in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.
Fair value pricing is used by a Fund when reliable market valuations are not readily available or are not deemed to reflect current market values. Securities that may be valued using ‘‘fair value’’ pricing may include, but are not limited to, securities for which there are no current market quotations or whose issuer is in default or bankruptcy, securities subject to corporate actions (such as mergers or reorganizations), securities subject to non-U.S. investment limits or currency controls, and securities affected by ‘‘significant events.’’ An example of a significant event is an event occurring after the close of the market in which a security trades but before a Fund’s next net asset value calculation time that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s investment (e.g., government action, natural disaster, or significant market fluctuation). When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.
The Board has designated the Adviser to perform the Fund’s fair value determinations in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. The effect of using fair value pricing is that the Fund’s NAV will be subject to the judgment of the Adviser. The Adviser’s fair valuation process is subject to the oversight of the Board.

October 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 (continued)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
• | Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
• | Level 2 — other significant inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
• | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing assets and liabilities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those assets and liabilities.
The following tables summarize the valuation of the Funds’ assets and liabilities under the fair value hierarchy levels as of October 31, 2022:

c. Derivatives
FLEX Options - Each Fund intends to invest substantially all of its assets in FLEX Options on either the S&P 500 Price Index or the Underlying ETF (as described above). FLEX Options are customizable exchange-traded option contracts guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (‘‘OCC’’), a market clearinghouse.
Options on an Index or ETF - The FLEX Options in which each Fund invests are both purchased and written put and call options on either the S&P 500 Price Index or the Underlying ETF. The Funds may also invest in other types of options. In general, an options contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right, but not the obligation, to buy (in the case of a call option) or sell (in the case of a put option) a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price.
The Funds purchase and sell call and put FLEX Options. In general, put options give the holder (i.e., the buyer) the right, but not the obligation, to sell an asset (or, in the case of certain put options, to receive a cash settlement equal to the amount by which the strike price of the option exceeds the value of the asset, times a specified multiple) and the seller (i.e., the writer) of the put has the obligation to buy the asset (or, in the case of an certain put options, to deliver a cash settlement equal to the amount by which the strike price of the option exceeds the value of the asset, times a specified multiple) at a certain defined price. Call options give the holder (i.e., the buyer) the right, but not the obligation, to buy an asset (or, in the case of certain call options, to receive a cash settlement equal to the amount by which the value of the asset exceeds the strike price of the option, times a specified multiple) and the seller (i.e., the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or, in the case of certain call options, to deliver a cash settlement equal to the amount by which the value of the asset exceeds the strike price of the option, times a specified multiple) at a certain defined price.

e. Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income
Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when a Fund becomes aware of such dividends. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual expenses.
f. Cash Equivalents and Temporary Investments
Each Fund may invest in securities with maturities of less than one year or cash equivalents, including money market funds, or each may hold cash.
g. | Dividend Distributions | |
The Funds expect to declare and distribute all of their net investment income, if any, to shareholders as dividends at least annually. The Funds may distribute such dividend income and capital gains more frequently, if necessary, in order to reduce or eliminate federal excise or income taxes on the Funds.
h. | Reclassification |
GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or the NAV per share.
i. | Taxes |
It is the Funds’ policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable net investment income and capital gains, if any, to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains, if any, are recorded, net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned. Management has reviewed the tax positions and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for uncertain tax positions for the tax years ended September 30, 2020, September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2022 and the one month ended October 31, 2022. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year or period ended September 30, 2022 and the one month ended October 31, 2022, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Investment Adviser
The Adviser, located at 5701 Golden Hills Drive, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416, furnishes investment management services to the Funds pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust on behalf of each Fund (the ‘‘Advisory Agreement’’), subject to the supervision and direction of the Board. The Adviser is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, each Fund pays the Adviser a unitary management fee for managing the Funds’ assets at the annual rate listed below. This unitary management fee is designed to pay the Funds’ ordinary operating expenses and to compensate the Adviser for the services it provides to the Funds. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser pays all of the ordinary operating expenses of the Funds, excluding (i) the Funds’ management fees, (ii) acquired fund fees and expenses, (iii) payments under the Funds’ Rule 12b-1 plan (if any), (iv) brokerage expenses (including any costs incidental to transactions in portfolio securities or other instruments), (v) taxes, (vi) interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses on securities sold short and overdraft charges), (vii) litigation expenses (including litigation to which the Trust or the Funds may be a party and indemnification of the Trustees and officers with respect thereto), and (viii) other non-routine or extraordinary expenses (including expenses arising from mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions involving any Fund).
The fee is equal to the 0.74% annual rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Management fees are paid at the end of each outcome period.
Other Funds’ Service Providers
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (‘‘BBH’’) is the Funds’ administrator, fund accountant, transfer and dividend agent and custodian. BBH is primarily in the business of providing administrative, fund accounting and transfer agent services to retail and institutional mutual funds and ETFs.
Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the ‘‘Distributor’’), is the distributor for the shares of the Funds. The Distributor is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’).
Foreside Fund Officer Services, LLC provides the Funds with a Principal Financial Officer.
Stradley Ronon Stevens and Young, LLP serves as legal counsel to the Trust.
Cohen & Company, Ltd. serves as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the annual financial statements of the Funds and performing tax compliance services.
NOTE 4 – PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
There were no aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) for the reporting one month ended October 31, 2022 and year or period ended September 30, 2022.
NOTE 5 – PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES
The Funds issue and redeem Shares at NAV only with Authorized Participants and only in Creation Units (large blocks of 25,000 Shares) or multiples thereof, generally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of instruments (including cash in lieu of any portion of such instruments) and/or an amount of cash that each Fund specifies each day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Shares are not redeemable by the Funds.
Individual Shares may be purchased and sold only on a national securities exchange through brokers. Shares will be listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. and because the Shares will trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at prices greater than NAV (at a premium), at NAV, or less than NAV (at a discount).

Beneficial Ownership
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund under section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of October 31, 2022, Allianz Life Insurance Company North America, the parent company of the Adviser (‘‘Allianz Life’’), owned more than 25% of the outstanding Shares of AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap 6 Month Buffer10 Jan/Jul ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap 6 Month Buffer10 Apr/Oct ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Nov ETF and AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Nov ETF. As of September 30, 2022, Allianz Life owned more than 25% of the outstanding Shares of AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Oct ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap 6 Month Buffer10 Jan/Jul ETF and AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap 6 Month Buffer10 Apr/Oct ETF.
NOTE 6 – DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXATION OF THE FUNDS
The Funds intend to elect and qualify each year for treatment as a regulated investment company (‘‘RIC’’) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’). If the Funds meet certain minimum distribution requirements, a RIC is not subject to tax at the fund level on income and gains from investments that are timely distributed to shareholders. However, a Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC or to meet minimum distribution requirements would result (if certain relief provisions were not available) in fund-level taxation and, consequently, a reduction in income available for distribution to shareholders.
The Funds may use the utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares (in lieu of making some cash distributions) in determining the portion of their income and gains that have been distributed. If the Funds use the utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, they will allocate a portion of their undistributed investment company taxable income and net capital gains to redemptions of Fund shares and will correspondingly reduce the amount of such income and gains that they distribute in cash. If the IRS determines that the Funds’ allocation is improper and that the Funds have under-distributed their income and gain for any taxable year, the Funds may be liable for federal income and/or excise tax. If, as a result of such adjustment, the Funds fail to satisfy the distribution requirements under the Code as noted above, the Funds will not qualify that year as a RIC.
Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from GAAP, are recorded on the ex-date. As of October 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, the following Funds have reclassifications due to permanent book-to-tax differences as a result of net operating losses and the utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares:

NOTE 7 – INDEMNIFICATION
The Trust will indemnify its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.
NOTE 8 – RISK OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS
The Funds’ investment strategy is different from more typical investment products, and the Funds may be unsuitable for some investors. It is important that investors understand the Funds’ investment strategy before making an investment in the Funds. Investors should carefully review the Funds’ investment objectives, strategies and risks included in the Funds’ prospectus before investing. Risks shown below that are applicable to ETFs, such as the Funds, also apply to the Underlying ETF.
FLEX Options Risk
The Funds will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The Funds bear the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. In the unlikely event that the OCC
108 |
AIM ETF PRODUCTS TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 (continued)
becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Funds could suffer significant losses. The Funds may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless. The value of the underlying FLEX Options will be affected by, among other things, changes in the S&P 500 Price Index’s value or the Underlying ETF’s share price, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual and implied volatility of the S&P 500 Price Index’s value or the Underlying ETF’s share price and the remaining time until the FLEX Options expire. The value of the FLEX Options does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the S&P 500 Price Index’s value or the Underlying ETF’s share price; although they generally move in the same direction, it is possible they may move in different directions.
Underlying ETF Risk
AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Oct ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Oct ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Nov ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Nov ETF and AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap 6 Month Buffer10 Apr/Oct ETF invest in FLEX Options that derive their value from the Underlying ETF, and therefore the Funds’ investment performance largely depends on the investment performance of the Underlying ETF. The value of the Underlying ETF will fluctuate over time based on fluctuations in the values of the securities held by the Underlying ETF, which may be affected by changes in general economic conditions, expectations for future growth and profits, interest rates and the supply and demand for those securities. In addition, ETFs are subject to absence of an active market risk, premium/discount risk, tracking error risk and trading issues risk. Brokerage, tax and other expenses may negatively impact the performance of the Underlying ETF and, in turn, the value of the Funds’ investments. The Underlying ETF seeks to track the Underlying Index but may not exactly match the performance of the Underlying Index due to differences between the portfolio of the Underlying ETF and the components of the Underlying Index, fees and expenses, transaction costs, and other factors.
Market Risk
The Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of a FLEX Option or other asset may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. In addition, unexpected events and their aftermaths, such as pandemics, epidemics or other public health issues; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; financial, political or social disruptions; terrorism and war; and other tragedies or catastrophes, can cause investor fear and panic, which can adversely affect the economies of many companies, sectors, nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. Any such circumstances could have a materially negative impact on the value of the Funds’ Shares and could result in increased market volatility. During any such events, the Funds’ Shares may trade at increased premiums or discounts to its NAV.
Buffered Loss Risk
There can be no guarantee that the Funds will be successful in implementing their stated Buffer strategy in an Outcome Period. Despite the intended Buffer, a shareholder may lose their entire investment. If an investor purchases Shares during an Outcome Period after the S&P 500 Price Index’s value or the Underlying ETF’s share price has decreased, the investor may receive less, or none, of the intended benefit of the Buffer. The Funds do not provide principal protection or protection of gains and shareholders could experience significant losses including loss of their entire investment.
Capped Upside Return Risk
The Funds’ strategy seeks to provide returns that match the value of the S&P 500 Price Index or the share price returns of the Underlying ETF at the end of the Outcome Period, subject to each Fund’s stated Cap. The Cap represents the absolute maximum percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in a Fund held for the entire Outcome Period. In the event that the S&P 500 Price Index or the Underlying ETF experiences gains in excess of a Fund’s stated Cap for the Outcome Period, the Fund will not participate in those gains beyond the Cap. If an investor purchases Shares during an Outcome Period after the S&P 500 Price Index’s value or the Underlying ETF’s share price has increased, the investor may have little or no opportunity for investment gain on their Shares for that Outcome Period due to the effect of the Cap. The Cap will change from one Outcome Period to the next and is unlikely to remain the same for consecutive Outcome Periods and could change significantly from one Outcome Period to another.

October 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 (continued)
Investment Objective and Outcome Period Risk
There can be no guarantee that the Funds will be successful in their strategy to provide shareholders with a return that matches that of the S&P 500 Price Index or share price return of the Underlying ETF at the end of an Outcome Period, subject to the Cap and the Buffer. The Funds’ strategy is designed to produce the outcomes upon the expiration of the FLEX Options on the last business day of the Outcome Period, and it should not be expected that the outcomes will be provided at any point other than the end of the Outcome Period. If an investor purchases or sells Shares during an Outcome Period, the returns realized by the investor will not match those that the Funds seek to achieve for the Outcome Period.
Tax Risk
To maintain its status as a RIC, the Funds must meet certain income, diversification and distributions tests. For purposes of the diversification test, the identification of the issuer (or, in some cases, issuers) of a particular Fund investment can depend on the terms and conditions of that investment. In particular, there is no published IRS guidance or case law on how to determine the ‘‘issuer’’ of certain derivatives that the Funds will enter into. The Funds intend to treat FLEX Options referencing an index as “issued” by the issuer of the securities underlying the index, which would allow the Funds to count the FLEX Options as automatically diversified investments under the Code’s diversification requirements. Based upon the language in the legislative history, the Funds that invest in FLEX Options on the Underlying ETF intend to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow such Funds to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. In addition, the Funds intend to treat any income they may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or if the FLEX Options are not treated as issued by the issuer of the securities underlying the index or issued by the reference asset, as applicable, the Funds may not qualify, or may be disqualified, as a RIC. If the Funds do not qualify as a RIC for any taxable year and certain relief provisions are not available, the Funds’ taxable income will be subject to tax at the Fund level and to a further tax at the shareholder level when such income is distributed. Additionally, if a shareholder purchases Shares after the Outcome Period has begun and shortly thereafter the Funds issue a dividend (commonly known as ‘‘buying a dividend’’), the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.
Valuation Risk
During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Funds, the ability of the Funds to value the FLEX Options becomes more difficult and the judgment of the Adviser or a fair value pricing vendor (in accordance with the fair value procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust) may play a greater role in the valuation of the Funds’ holdings due to reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data. Consequently, while such determinations will be made in good faith, it may nevertheless be more difficult for the Funds to accurately assign a daily value.
Liquidity Risk
In the event that trading in the underlying FLEX Options is limited or absent, the value of the Funds’ FLEX Options may decrease. There is no guarantee that a liquid secondary trading market will exist for the FLEX Options. The trading in FLEX Options may be less deep and liquid than the market for certain other securities. FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain non-customized options. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the Funds may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the liquidation of a large number of options may significantly impact the price of the options. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options and the value of your investment.
Cash Transactions Risk
The Funds may issue and redeem creation units of their Shares solely or partially for cash, rather than in-kind for securities and portfolio instruments. As a result, an investment in the Funds may be less tax-efficient than an ETF that transacts principally in-kind. To the extent the Funds effect redemptions for cash, it may be required to sell portfolio securities or close derivatives positions in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. A sale of Shares may result in capital gains or losses and may also result in higher brokerage costs. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes, which generally will be passed on to purchasers and redeemers of Shares in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. In addition, these factors may result in wider spreads between the bid and the offered prices of Shares than for other ETFs.

AIM ETF PRODUCTS TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 (continued)
Non-Diversification
The Funds are classified as non-diversified under the 1940 Act. As a result, the Funds are only limited as to the percentage of their assets which may be invested in the securities of any one issuer by the diversification requirements imposed by the Code. The Funds may invest a relatively high percentage of their assets in a limited number of issuers. As a result, the Funds may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, experience increased volatility and be highly invested in certain issuers.
Premium/Discount Risk
The Adviser cannot predict whether Shares will trade on the Exchange below, at or above their NAV because the Shares trade at market prices and not at NAV. Price differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate significantly from the Fund’s NAV.
Active Markets Risk
There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Shares will develop or be maintained. The Funds face numerous market trading risks, including losses from trading in secondary markets, periods of high volatility and disruption in the creation/redemption process of the Funds.
NOTE 9 – CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
The current outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, disruptions of healthcare systems, business operations and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand, defaults and other significant economic impacts, all of which have disrupted global economic activity across many industries and may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks, locally or globally. The ongoing effects of COVID-19 are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Funds’ performance.
NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have evaluated the need for disclosure and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the dates the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no adjustments were required to the financial statements.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses
October 31, 2022 (unaudited)
Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two potential types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions for the purchases and sales of your Fund Shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period from May 1, 2022 until October 31, 2022*.
Actual Expenses
The ‘‘Actual’’ columns in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading ‘‘Actual Expenses Paid During the Period’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The ‘‘Hypothetical’’ columns in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare ongoing costs of investing in a Fund to other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction fees, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the numbers under the heading ‘‘Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period’’ is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

At an in-person meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of AIM ETF Products Trust (the “Trust”) held September 13, 2022, the Board, including those Trustees (the “Independent Trustees”) who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) of the Trust, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) between Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”) and the Trust with respect to each of the AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Jan ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Jan ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Apr ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Apr ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Jul ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Jul ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Oct ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Oct ETF, AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap 6 Month Buffer10 Jan/Jul ETF, and AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap 6 Month Buffer10 Apr/Oct ETF (each, a “Fund”), for an additional one-year period, ending December 31, 2023.
Under the Agreement, the Manager is obligated to pay all of the ordinary operating expenses of each Fund, except for certain excluded items (the “Unified Fee”). Information relevant to the approval of renewal was presented and considered at Board meetings held June 14, 2022, June 21, 2022, and September 13, 2022 (the “Meetings”). In considering renewal of the Agreement, the Independent Trustees also met in executive session with independent counsel, who provided assistance and advice.
The Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated the terms of the Agreement, reviewed information provided by the Manager in connection with the Agreement, and reviewed the duties and responsibilities of the Trustees in evaluating and renewing the Agreement. The materials provided for the Meetings included: (i) the Agreement; (ii) the Manager’s responses to an information request relating to the Agreement and the services thereunder; (iii) financial information relating to the Manager’s profitability in managing each Fund; (iv) information concerning the business, operations and compliance program of the Manager; and (v) a memorandum from independent counsel regarding the role and responsibilities of trustees in considering the renewal of investment advisory arrangements. The Board reviewed and considered information provided by the Manager throughout the year at regular Board meetings and in executive sessions. At each such meeting, the Board was advised by independent counsel. The Board also considered data provided by the Manager, from an unaffiliated third-party database, comparing the advisory fee and expense ratio of each Fund with the fees and expenses of a peer group of similar U.S.-listed buffer ETFs (the “Peer Group”). The Board discussed the criteria used by the Manager for selecting the Peer Group and concluded that the data was useful and reliable for the purpose of reviewing the Agreement. Throughout the process, the Board had numerous opportunities to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Manager.
The Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to an adviser’s compensation: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the adviser, including the performance of the fund; the adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the adviser has realized or may realize “economies of scale” as the fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that have accrued or may accrue to the adviser and its affiliates as a result of the adviser’s relationship with the fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; the profitability of acting as adviser to the fund; and the extent to which the independent board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the adviser’s services and fees. The Board is aware of these factors and took them into account in its review of the Agreement for each Fund.
Shareholder reports are required to include a discussion of certain factors relating to the selection of the investment adviser and the approval of the advisory fee. The “factors” enumerated by the SEC are set forth below with the Board’s conclusions regarding such factors:
(a) | The nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund by the Manager. The Board considered the scope of services provided under the Agreement. In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the |

Manager, the Board reviewed the Manager’s compliance infrastructure and the financial strength and resources of the Manager and its parent organization. The Board also reviewed information regarding the qualifications, background and experience of the investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund, including expertise with hedging strategies and derivatives instruments. The Board considered the Manager’s experience as the investment manager to the Funds as well as to mutual funds underlying variable products and other accounts. The Board also considered the services provided to each Fund by the Manager, such as implementation of the Fund’s investment strategy, monitoring adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations. Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund by the Manager based on its experience, personnel, operations and resources.
(b) | The cost of services provided to each Fund by the Manager, profitability and economies of scale. The Board reviewed the expense ratio and advisory fee paid by each Fund and considered the expense ratios and advisory fees of the Peer Group. The Board noted that each Fund’s advisory fee and net expense ratio were lower than the advisory fees and net expense ratios of all but one of the funds included in the Peer Group, but the Board also took into account that the buffer ETF strategy is relatively new and unique and, therefore, that the Peer Group is relatively limited. The Board took into consideration that the advisory fee was a “unified fee,” meaning that the Manager bears all of the ordinary operating expenses of the Funds, except for certain excluded items. The Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable. |
The Board also evaluated the compensation and benefits received by the Manager and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund, taking into account the Manager’s profitability. The Board noted that, due to the relatively recent inception of the Funds, the Funds were currently operating at a loss to the Manager and that each Fund had not yet gathered sufficient resources to result in any meaningful economies of scale; the Board determined to address economies of scale when assets under management reached appropriate levels.
(c) | The investment performance of each Fund and the Manager. The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund, including how it compared to the performance of the Fund’s reference index and in light of the Fund’s buffered outcome investment strategy, recognizing that the Funds have only a limited performance history due to the relatively recent inception of the Funds. The Board considered that each Fund had finished one or more outcome periods in line with the performance outcome it seeks to achieve. The Board concluded that each Fund’s investment performance has been consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies. The Board received and considered information about the premium/discount history of each Fund, which illustrated the number of times that the market price of the Fund trading on the secondary market closed above or below the net asset value of the Fund, and by how much, measured in basis points. The Board also took into account the Manager’s experience managing mutual funds underlying variable products and other accounts. The Board noted that such experience demonstrated the Manager’s ability to effectively manage 1940 Act registered investment companies. After considering all of the information, the Board concluded that each Fund and its shareholders were likely to continue to benefit from the Manager’s management. |
In conclusion, after full consideration of the above factors, as well as such other factors as each member of the Board considered instructive in evaluating the Agreement, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable, and that the renewal of the Agreement was in the best interest of each Fund. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board, and each individual Trustee may have assigned different weights to various factors.

At an in-person meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of AIM ETF Products Trust (the “Trust”) held June 22, 2022, the Board, including those Trustees (the “Independent Trustees”) who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) of the Trust, approved the investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) between Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”) and the Trust with respect to each of the AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer10 Nov ETF and AllianzIM U.S. Large Cap Buffer20 Nov ETF (each, a “Fund”), for an initial two-year term.
Under the Agreement, the Manager is obligated to pay all of the ordinary operating expenses of each Fund, except for certain excluded items (the “Unified Fee”). Information relevant to the approval of the Agreement was presented and considered at the Meeting. In considering approval of the Agreement, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with independent counsel, who provided assistance and advice.
The Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated the terms of the Agreement, reviewed information provided by the Manager in connection with the Agreement, and reviewed the duties and responsibilities of the Trustees in evaluating and approving the Agreement. The materials provided for the Meeting included: (i) the form of Agreement; (ii) the Manager’s responses to an information request relating to the Agreement and the services thereunder; (iii) financial information relating to the Manager’s estimated profitability in managing each Fund; (iv) information concerning the business, operations and compliance program of the Manager; and (v) a memorandum from independent counsel regarding the role and responsibilities of trustees in considering the approval of investment advisory arrangements. The Board also considered data provided by the Manager, from an unaffiliated third-party database, comparing the proposed advisory fee and projected expense ratio of each Fund with the fees and expenses of a peer group of similar U.S.-listed buffer ETFs (the “Peer Group”). The Board discussed the criteria used by the Manager for selecting the Peer Group and concluded that the data was useful and reliable for the purpose of reviewing the Agreement.
The Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to an adviser’s compensation: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the adviser, including the performance of the fund; the adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the adviser and its affiliates as a result of the adviser’s relationship with the fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; the profitability of acting as adviser to the fund; and the extent to which the independent board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the adviser’s services and fees. The Board is aware of these factors and took them into account in its review of the Agreement for each Fund.
Shareholder reports are required to include a discussion of certain factors relating to the selection of the investment adviser and the approval of the advisory fee. The “factors” enumerated by the SEC are set forth below with the Board’s conclusions regarding such factors:
(a) | The nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to each Fund by the Manager. The Board considered the scope of services to be provided under the Agreement. In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Manager, the Board reviewed the Manager’s compliance infrastructure and the financial strength and resources of the Manager and its parent organization. The Board also reviewed information regarding the qualifications, background and experience of the investment personnel who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund, including expertise with hedging strategies and derivatives instruments. The Board considered the Manager’s experience as the investment manager to the other series of the Trust as well as to mutual funds underlying variable products and other accounts. The Board also considered the services to be provided to each Fund by the Manager, such as implementation of the Fund’s investment strategy, monitoring adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations.

The Board also evaluated the compensation and benefits expected to be received by the Manager and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund, taking into account estimates of the Manager’s anticipated profitability. The Board noted that the Manager had borne all of the organizational expenses of each Fund. The Board noted that, because the Funds had not yet commenced operations, it was too early to assess the potential for economies of scale, though the Board determined to address economies of scale when assets under management reached appropriate levels.
(c) | The investment performance of each Fund and the Manager. The Board noted that there was no prior performance of the Funds to consider, but the Board took into account the Manager’s experience managing the other series of the Trust as well as mutual funds underlying variable products and other accounts. The Board noted that such experience demonstrated the Manager’s ability to effectively manage 1940 Act registered investment companies. After considering all of the information, the Board concluded that each Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from the Manager’s management. |
