Objective
Seeks 3x the return of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust up to a 15.36% cap while matching its losses over each January outcome period.
Strategy
Invests at least 80% of net assets in instruments providing exposure to the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (the Underlying ETF), seeking three times the Underlying ETF's price increase up to a 15.36% upside cap with one-to-one downside participation. Uses FLEX options to engineer the defined outcomes, which reset over each approximately one-year outcome period beginning in January.

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.
