About this ETF
The FT Vest U.S. Equity Buffer & Digital Return ETF - January (referred to as "the Fund") is designed to offer investors a dual strategy over a specific period, from January 20, 2026, to January 15, 2027. Its core aim is to provide protection against the initial 10% of price depreciation in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (the "Underlying ETF"). Simultaneously, the Fund targets a predetermined "digital return" of approximately 8.52% (before fees and expenses), which is realized if the Underlying ETF either increases in value, stays flat, or experiences a decline of 10% or less during the specified timeframe.

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.
