The Innovator Laddered Allocation Power Buffer ETF (BUFF) operates as a fund-of-funds, investing at least 80% of its assets into twelve underlying Innovator U.S. Equity Power Buffer ETFs. The fund follows a laddered strategy by equally weighting these monthly-series ETFs and rebalancing semi-annually to maintain consistent exposure to defined outcome profiles.
Defined outcome ETFs utilize options strategies, typically flexible exchange (FLEX) options, to provide investors with stock market exposure while protecting against a specific percentage of downside losses over a set outcome period. This business model targets risk-averse investors seeking to participate in equity growth while mitigating volatility through structured buffers.
Further details on the underlying holdings and risk profiles are available for study on ValueRay. The fund is categorized within the small-cap market segment with a market capitalization of approximately $868 million and has been trading since October 2016.
