Fund details

- Cboe BZX
- Strategy
- Invests primarily in FLEX Options referencing SPY to provide returns matching its positive price return up to a cap or the absolute value of its negative price return up to a threshold, while offering a 10% buffer against losses exceeding that threshold over a one-year period. The Fund employs a target outcome strategy to achieve these returns, resetting at the start of each new Target Outcome Period based on prevailing market conditions.

WarningBuffer 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.
