Description: BUFR Cboe Vest Fund of Buffer s January 08, 2026

The First Trust Cboe Vest Fund of Buffer ETFs (ticker BUFR) aims to give investors exposure to the U.S. large-cap equity market while capping downside risk. It does this by holding a laddered set of twelve FT Vest U.S. Equity Buffer ETFs, each of which tracks the price return of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) up to a preset upside cap and provides a buffer against the first 10 % of SPY losses over a one-year horizon. In normal market conditions the fund invests “substantially all” of its assets in these underlying buffer ETFs, and it is classified as a non-diversified vehicle.

Key quantitative points (as of Q4 2024) include an expense ratio of roughly 0.40 % and assets under management of about $150 million. The buffer structure typically offers a 10 % loss protection with an upside cap ranging from 12 % to 15 % depending on the specific buffer ETF, which means performance is highly sensitive to S&P 500 volatility and the shape of the equity curve. Because the fund’s exposure is concentrated in large-cap sectors-particularly technology and consumer discretionary-it tends to track the broader market’s beta (≈0.95) while delivering a lower downside-tail risk profile during periods of elevated market stress.
