About this ETF
The FT Vest U.S. Equity Buffer ETF - May, or "Fund," aims to deliver investor returns (prior to fees and expenses) that replicate the price movement of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, referred to as the "Underlying ETF." This performance is subject to a maximum gain of 14.95%. Simultaneously, the Fund offers protection against the initial 10% of any losses incurred by the Underlying ETF (also before fees and expenses), specifically for the duration from May 19, 2025, to May 15, 2026.

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.
