Description: BUFQ FT Cboe Vest Fund of

The FT Cboe Vest Fund of Nasdaq-100 Buffer ETFs (BUFQ) is a defined-outcome ETF that targets the large-cap U.S. equity market while seeking to cap downside losses. Rather than holding stocks directly, the fund invests in a laddered portfolio of four underlying FT Cboe Vest Nasdaq-100 Buffer ETFs, each of which uses FLEX Options on the Invesco QQQ Trust - an exchange-traded fund that tracks the Nasdaq-100 Index. FLEX Options are customizable exchange-listed contracts whose settlement is guaranteed by the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), the central clearinghouse for U.S. options. Because it concentrates its holdings in a single fund-of-ETFs structure tied to one underlying index, BUFQ is classified as non-diversified.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Rising volatility drives inflows into Nasdaq-100 buffer ETFs
  • Tech rally lifts QQQ, boosting underlying FLEX options returns
  • Competition intensifies from similar defined outcome Nasdaq ETFs
