Full fund details

Objective
Seeks to provide capital appreciation by participating in positive returns of the Underlying ETF up to the Upside Cap and buffered returns against losses less than the Inverse Performance Threshold.
Strategy
Invests primarily in the Underlying ETF to achieve capital appreciation and buffered returns. The Fund seeks to replicate the Underlying ETF's performance over the Outcome Period, providing positive returns regardless of the Underlying ETF's price movement, subject to limitations. If the Underlying ETF appreciates, returns are capped at the Upside Cap of 9.56% to 11.06%. If the Underlying ETF declines by less than or equal to 15%, the Fund matches the absolute value of losses up to a maximum return of 15%.

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.
