About this ETF
The Innovator Laddered Allocation Power Buffer ETF (BUFF) aims to replicate the returns of the FTSE Laddered Power Buffer Strategy Index. This benchmark index diversifies its holdings by allocating an equal weight to each of 12 distinct Innovator U.S. Equity Power Buffer ETFs. The strategy employed by these underlying ETFs allows investors to participate in the upward movements of U.S. stocks, though with an upper limit on potential gains, while simultaneously providing protection against the first 15% of any declines in U.S. equity values.

Latest News for BUFF
Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
