FMAY is a non-diversified exchange-traded fund categorized under the Defined Outcome space. The fund seeks to provide investors with the price performance of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, up to a predetermined cap, while providing a buffer against a specific percentage of market losses over a one-year period.
To achieve this objective, the fund invests almost exclusively in FLEX Options, which are customizable equity derivative contracts that allow for non-standard expiration dates and strike prices. This business model relies on the options market to package equity risk, a strategy frequently used by institutional investors to hedge against volatility while maintaining exposure to large-cap U.S. equities.
Investors can further examine how these buffer mechanics impact long-term returns by reviewing the detailed performance metrics on ValueRay.
