Description: BUFF Innovator Laddered January 25, 2026

The Innovator Laddered Allocation Power Buffer ETF (BATS: BUFF) is a defined-outcome fund that must allocate at least 80 % of its net assets-including any borrowing-to a basket of twelve Innovator U.S. Equity Power Buffer ETFs that together form its benchmark index. The index is constructed to hold equal weights of each underlying Power Buffer ETF, and BUFF mirrors this composition by staying fully invested in all twelve constituents and rebalancing the portfolio semi-annually to maintain the equal-weight target.

According to the most recent SEC filing (Q2 2024), BUFF reported approximately $210 million in assets under management and an expense ratio of 0.35 %. The fund’s aggregate “buffer” structure caps annual upside at roughly 15 % while limiting downside losses to the same magnitude, a feature that becomes most valuable when the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) spikes above 25 points-a condition that has persisted for 12 % of trading days in the past two years. Sector exposure mirrors the underlying Power Buffer ETFs, with technology and consumer discretionary together accounting for about 45 % of the portfolio, making the fund sensitive to macro drivers such as Federal Reserve policy on interest rates and corporate earnings trends in growth-oriented sectors.
