PGIM Laddered Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 ETF (PBQQ)

No price history available.

PBQQ represents a distinct investment vehicle, functioning as a portfolio of structured outcome exchange-traded funds (ETFs). It comprises a quartet of underlying equity protection funds, each designed to track the performance of the Nasdaq-100 index (via the QQQ ETF). These individual funds offer a predefined range of outcomes, setting an upper limit on potential gains while providing insulation against the initial 12% of losses. PBQQ strategically allocates its capital equally across these four underlying ETFs, which are characterized by staggered expiration profiles: one ETF's options mature in approximately three months, another in six, a third in nine, and the final one in twelve months. Unlike the annual reset common for individual buffer funds, PBQQ employs a rolling renewal cycle, refreshing its components roughly every 90 days. During each quarterly refresh, one of the underlying ETFs recalibrates its upside cap and downside buffer. This methodical approach ensures perpetual risk mitigation for PBQQ, effectively smoothing out market timing dependencies often associated with shorter-term buffer strategies. For investor transparency, daily updates regarding the fund's exposure to its underlying ETFs, along with current cap and buffer levels, are readily accessible on the issuer's website.
