Full fund details

Objective
Seeks capital appreciation by participating in positive returns of the Underlying ETF up to the Upside Cap and providing buffered returns against losses up to 15% over the Outcome Period.
Strategy
Invests primarily in assets providing exposure to the Underlying ETF, aiming for dual-direction positive returns regardless of the ETF's performance. If the ETF appreciates, the Fund seeks to provide returns up to the Upside Cap of 9.45% to 11.20%. If the ETF declines by less than or equal to 15%, the Fund aims to match the absolute value of losses, capped at 15%. The strategy is designed to deliver these outcomes over the Outcome Period, with no guarantee of success in achieving them.

Our take

Buffer
Warning

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.
