Description: GFEB First Trust Exchange-Traded December 30, 2025
The First Trust FT Cboe Vest U.S. Equity Moderate Buffer ETF (GFEB) seeks to deliver upside participation in the S&P 500 while limiting downside risk by allocating virtually all of its capital to customized FLEX exchange-listed options on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY). These options allow the fund to set its own strike prices, expiration dates, and exercise styles, creating a “moderate buffer” that typically caps losses at around 15 % over a one-year horizon, but also caps gains once the buffer is exhausted.
Key quantitative points to watch: (1) the fund’s expense ratio is 0.35 % (annualized), which is modest for a structured-outcome ETF; (2) its buffer performance is highly sensitive to the implied volatility of S&P 500 options-recent VIX levels around 18 % suggest a relatively low-cost hedge environment; and (3) macro drivers such as Federal Reserve policy and corporate earnings trends directly affect SPY’s price path, meaning that a tightening monetary stance could compress equity upside and test the buffer’s effectiveness.
