Description: DFEB FT Cboe Vest U.S. Equity December 30, 2025

DFEB is a U.S.-based Defined-Outcome ETF that seeks to deliver the performance of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF while limiting downside risk through a “deep buffer” structure. In normal markets the fund allocates the bulk of its capital to customized FLEX Options on the S&P 500 ETF, allowing it to set specific strike prices, expiration dates, and option styles to create a buffer against losses (typically around 15-20% of the index) while capping upside participation (often near 100% of index gains up to the buffer limit). The vehicle is non-diversified, meaning its risk profile is tightly linked to the S&P 500’s price movements.

Key data points as of the latest filing: the fund carries an expense ratio of roughly 0.35%, holds about $300 million in assets under management, and its 2023 calendar-year return was approximately +4% versus a +12% gain in the underlying S&P 500, reflecting the cost of the buffer protection. Primary drivers of performance include S&P 500 volatility (VIX levels), Federal Reserve policy on interest rates, and macro-economic indicators such as inflation and corporate earnings trends, which together influence the pricing and effectiveness of the FLEX Options used.
