Full fund details

Objective
Seeks to provide investors with returns that are three times those of the Underlying ETF, up to the upside cap of 14.91% while matching Underlying ETF losses.
Strategy
Invests primarily in FLEX Options referencing the Underlying ETF and may invest directly in the Underlying ETF. Seeks to provide returns that are three times the increase in value of the Underlying ETF, subject to a cap of 14.91%. If the Underlying ETF decreases in value, the Fund seeks to match that decrease. The Fund does not provide a buffer against Underlying ETF losses. The strategy is designed to produce specific outcomes based on the Underlying ETF's performance over the Outcome Period.

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.
