Full fund details
- Objective
- Seeks to provide investors with capital appreciation.
- Strategy
- Invests in a laddered portfolio of deep buffer ETFs to provide US large-cap equity market exposure while limiting downside risk. Each underlying ETF seeks to match the performance of SPY up to a cap while providing a deep buffer against losses between -4% and -34%. The laddered approach diversifies exposure across multiple outcome periods, allowing for tactical investing and downside protection while still capturing potential upside from SPY.

Structural notes on how this fund behaves. Read our guide on the 6 warning signs.
You can build this cheaper yourself
Defined-outcome funds cap your gains (often 8% to 20%) in exchange for cushioning losses by 9% to 30%, priced with options. The fee runs about 0.70% or more, against 0.03% to 0.10% for a plain index fund. For most investors, a simple stock-and-bond mix gives similar protection for far less.
