Objective
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that provide exposure to the State Street® SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust. It is non-diversified.
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 seeks to deliver predetermined investment outcomes based on the performance of the Underlying ETF over an Outcome Period, including potential positive returns regardless of market direction, subject to an Upside Cap and a Buffer against losses.

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.
