Dear Shareholders,

Thank you for being an investor in the AllianzIM Buffered Outcome 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 Outcome ETFs (the “Funds”) are designed to provide risk mitigation solutions by allowing investors to participate in the growth potential of equity markets up to a stated Cap with an explicit downside Buffer. The AllianzIM ETF platform now offers nine Buffered Outcome ETFs including our first 6-month outcome period solution. This Annual Report covers the last twelve months as of September 30, 2021.

Favorable economic conditions have led to a one-way ticket to higher levels as the S&P 500® Price Return Index (“S&P 500 Price Index”) was up 28.09% over the last year, but not without some turbulence along the way. Prolonged monetary support from the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has led to a swell of liquidity within financial markets, driving up valuations amongst risk assets. Significant progress towards vaccinating the U.S population allowed the economy to open back up and become less restrictive while much of the pent up household savings was deployed. The strong economic rebound during the first half of the year led to impressive equity gains that did not go unnoticed. However, the swift recovery has brought on some unintended consequences with bottlenecks in global supply chains and elevated consumer demand driving up consumer prices. Imbalances of supply and demand have driven inflation well above expectations this year and the Fed has pulled forward their plans to reduce monetary accommodation as a result. After reaching a peak in early September, the S&P 500 Price Index experienced a bout of volatility as a byproduct of the building uncertainty around the path of the economy going forward and expected changes in policy from the Fed.

As a whole, markets have remained mostly calm throughout the year, but the shifting tide from the Fed and persisting inflation levels has dialed up uncertainty and cast doubts on the path of growth for the U.S. economy in the months ahead. In turn, volatility measured by the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) has experienced brief spikes when investors dialed back their risk appetite. However, against a market backdrop flush with liquidity, every dip in equity prices was met with strong buying demand throughout the year. As the Fed is expected to begin removing liquidity in the near future by slowing its bond purchase program, there is a chance that future market downturns may not recover as quickly as before. The reflation trade started losing steam in the second half of this year as technical factors overcame fundamentals and kept pressure on long-term rates, but the 10-year Treasury yield is still up over 0.60% since the beginning of the year. What is becoming more apparent to market participants is that the transitory message on inflation from the Fed is beginning to overstay its welcome. The rise in consumer prices hasn’t moderated much and imbalances of supply and demand have kept inflation well above expectations this year. A higher rate regime should be something investors pay close attention to as changes in monetary policy and elevated uncertainty surrounding inflation may have an impact on equity valuations and bonds.

The economy appears to be entrenched in the mid-cycle stage, but investors may have become too comfortable with the levels of monetary stimulus the Fed has injected over the last 18 months. The future could be an unpleasant period for market participants as the removal of Fed support will be underway soon and equity markets will have to learn how to stand on their own again. Overall, we remain positive on the economic recovery, but it is evident that there is no shortage of potential risks that could derail the current trajectory.

We believe investment solutions with built-in risk mitigation can be an important cornerstone of an investor’s portfolio. This sentiment resonates with investors based on findings from the Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America Q3 Quarterly Market Perceptions Study. The study found that people are increasingly likely to say it’s important to have some retirement savings in products that protect from market loss (70% in Q3 compared with 64% in Q2). Further, nearly three quarters (72%) say they would be willing to trade off some upside growth potential to have some protection from market loss. Finally, those with high investable assets (>$200k), are even more likely to agree that it is important to protect retirement savings from loss (83%), and that they are willing to sacrifice gains for this protection (81%). Risk management is in our DNA at AllianzIM. While the future path for equity and bond markets is uncertain, investors can place their confidence with our Buffered Outcome ETFs. For more information regarding the Funds, please contact your investment professional or call 877-4AZ-ETFS for additional information.

Allianz Investment Management LLC is a registered investment adviser and a wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America.

The views expressed above reflect the views of Allianz Investment Management LLC as of 10/2021. These views may change as the market or conditions change. This report is not intended to be used to provide financial advice and does not address or account for an individual’s circumstances. Past performance does not guarantee future results and no forecast should be considered a guarantee either.

The January series of AllianzIM Buffered Outcome ETFs 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 each as defined in the Fund’s prospectus over a twelve-month outcome period (the “outcome”), which initiated on January 1, 2021. The AllianzIM Buffered Outcome ETFs seek to provide capital appreciation to U.S. large-cap equity markets, subject to the Cap, while limiting downside risk through the Buffer structure. This market commentary will primarily focus on factors influencing the S&P 500 Price Index over the period from the Funds’ inception (December 31, 2020) through September 30, 2021.

During the period from the Funds’ inception (December 31, 2020) through September 30, 2021, the S&P 500 Price Index gained 14.68%.

With the economic recovery underway at the start of 2021, market concerns started to shift to inflationary pressures with global supply chain disruptions and an ongoing supply-demand imbalance creating a headwind for many sectors of the economy. The stock market continued to advance looking past the near-term spike in inflation and shrugging off indications that the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates sooner than expected given the inflationary signals. The economy hit a soft patch at the end of the period as the delta variant of COVID-19 appeared to have slowed the near-term growth outlook and the regulatory crackdown in China led to a global risk-off sentiment.

The AllianzIM Buffered Outcome ETFs performed as expected during this period – providing upside appreciation relative to the Cap, while mitigating risk during drawdowns (defined as peak-to-trough market declines). With elevated equity valuations and the potential for rising interest rates on the horizon, the conditions could be ripe for higher volatility going forward. Against this backdrop, the AllianzIM Buffered Outcome ETFs could serve as a valuable option within a total portfolio allocation.

Each AllianzIM Buffered Outcome 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.AllianzIM.com, provides important information relating to each Fund, including potential outcomes of an investment in the Fund.

The April series of AllianzIM Buffered Outcome ETFs 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 each as defined in the Fund’s prospectus over a twelve-month outcome period (the “outcome”), the most recent of which began on April 1, 2021. The AllianzIM Buffered Outcome ETFs seek to provide capital appreciation to U.S. large-cap equity markets, subject to the Cap, while limiting downside risk through the Buffer structure. This market commentary will primarily focus on factors influencing the S&P 500 Price Index over the last year ended September 30, 2021. Because this period does not align with the outcome period of the April series of AllianzIM Buffered Outcome ETFs, the Funds’ performance information provided below for periods ended September 30, 2021 does not align with the outcome the Funds seek to achieve over the applicable outcome period.

During the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2021, the S&P 500 Price Index gained 28.09%. Stocks rallied at the end of 2020 on optimism following the announcement of an effective COVID-19 vaccine. While equity markets briefly experienced a bout of volatility heading into the November U.S. elections, the economic rebound proved resilient and stocks climbed higher after being supported by the unprecedented U.S. fiscal stimulus and aggressive actions by the Federal Reserve throughout the last year.

With the economic recovery underway at the start of 2021, market concerns started to shift to inflationary pressures with global supply chain disruptions and an ongoing supply-demand imbalance creating a headwind for many sectors of the economy.
