Full fund details

Strategy
The Fund employs a defined outcome strategy, investing primarily in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF, which tracks the S&P 500 Index. It aims to deliver predetermined investment outcomes, including positive returns during the Outcome Period, subject to an Upside Cap and a Buffer against losses, while also allowing for potential positive returns if the Underlying ETF experiences losses within specified limits.

Our take

Structural notes on how this fund behaves. Read our guide on the 6 warning signs.

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.
