About this ETF
The FT Vest U.S. Equity Deep Buffer ETF - February is designed to provide investors with returns (prior to fees and expenses) that emulate the price performance of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, its 'Underlying ETF'. These potential gains are limited by an upside cap of 11.87%. Concurrently, the Fund aims to cushion investors (before fees and expenses) against losses in the Underlying ETF. Specifically, it absorbs declines that occur once the Underlying ETF has fallen by 5%, continuing to provide protection for additional losses up to a total Underlying ETF decline of 30%. This investment period extends from February 23, 2026, to February 19, 2027.

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.
