Full fund details

Objective
Seeks 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 investments providing exposure to the Underlying ETF, aiming for dual-direction positive returns regardless of the ETF's price movement during the Outcome Period. Seeks to replicate the Underlying ETF's performance, providing capital appreciation if the ETF appreciates, limited by the Upside Cap of 9.56% to 11.06%. If the ETF's price decreases by less than or equal to 15%, the Fund aims to match the absolute value of losses up to a maximum return of 15% via Inverse Performance Cap.

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.
