Objective
Seeks capital appreciation by participating in positive returns of the Underlying ETF up to the Upside Cap and buffered returns against losses exceeding the Inverse Performance Threshold.
Strategy
Invests primarily in instruments providing exposure to the Underlying ETF, aiming for dual-direction positive returns regardless of the Underlying ETF's performance. Seeks to replicate the Underlying ETF's performance over the Outcome Period, with a maximum Upside Cap of 9.56% to 11.06% before fees. If the Underlying ETF's losses exceed the Inverse Performance Threshold, the Fund provides buffered returns against losses of up to 15%.

Warning

Buffer ETF — downside protection at a cost

Defined-outcome funds cap upside (typically 8–20%) in exchange for partial downside protection (9–30%), priced via options. Fees are materially higher than the underlying index (often 0.70%+ vs 0.03–0.10%). For most pre-retirees, a simple stock/bond mix achieves similar downside behaviour at a fraction of the cost.
