About this ETF
The FT Vest Gold Strategy Target Income ETF, referred to as "the Fund," pursues two primary goals: first, to offer investors exposure to the price fluctuations of the SPDR Gold Trust (its "Underlying ETF"), and second, to deliver a consistent income stream. To achieve these objectives, the Fund allocates the majority of its assets to secure U.S. Treasury securities. Additionally, it invests in a wholly-owned subsidiary. This subsidiary, in turn, holds a portfolio of various exchange-traded options, including specialized FLexible Exchange Options ("FLEX Options"), all of which are designed to track the performance of the aforementioned Underlying ETF.
