Description: BDEC Innovator SP500 Buffer January 01, 2026

The Innovator S&P 500 Buffer ETF – December (ticker BDEC) is a U.S.–based “Defined Outcome” ETF that seeks to deliver upside participation in the S&P 500 while limiting downside risk through a built-in buffer. Under normal market conditions it must hold at least 80 % of its net assets (plus any investment-purpose borrowings) in the SPDR ® S&P 500 ® ETF Trust, which serves as the underlying equity exposure.

To create the buffer, BDEC writes customized FLEX options on the underlying SPDR S&P 500 ETF. These exchange-traded contracts allow the manager to set specific strike prices and expirations, thereby defining the maximum loss (the “buffer”) and the upside participation rate. The fund is classified as non-diversified because a single underlying security (the SPDR S&P 500 ETF) dominates its holdings.

Key quantitative points (as of the most recent filing): the expense ratio is 0.75 %, assets under management are roughly $250 million, and the 12-month rolling buffer performance has historically limited losses to about 10 % while delivering roughly 70 % of S&P 500 upside in calm markets. The fund’s performance is highly sensitive to macro drivers such as Federal Reserve policy, U.S. inflation trends (CPI), and earnings momentum in the technology sector, which comprises about 25 % of the underlying index.
