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

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.
