Description: GJAN First Trust Exchange-Traded October 26, 2025

The First Trust FT Cboe Vest U.S. Equity Moderate Buffer ETF (BATS:GJAN) is a “Defined-Outcome” fund that, under normal market conditions, allocates essentially all of its capital to Flexible Exchange® Options whose payoff is tied to the price performance of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY). Because it relies on a single options strategy rather than holding a basket of equities, the ETF is classified as non-diversified.

Key operating metrics (as of Q3 2025) include an expense ratio of 0.45 % and a “moderate buffer” that caps downside losses at roughly 8 % while capping upside participation at about 12 % of SPY’s total return through the January 2026 expiry. The fund’s performance is therefore highly correlated with large-cap U.S. equity trends and is sensitive to macro drivers such as the Federal Reserve’s policy rate-higher rates tend to compress option premiums and reduce the buffer’s effectiveness.
