About this ETF
The FT Vest U.S. Equity Buffer ETF - January (the "Fund") is structured to deliver returns to investors, before factoring in fees and expenses, that replicate the price movement of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (the "Underlying ETF"). This objective is met with a predetermined maximum upside potential of 14.53%. Concurrently, the Fund provides a buffer, also before fees and expenses, against the first 10% of any declines in the Underlying ETF. These conditions apply for the specific term from January 20, 2026, until January 15, 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.
