About this ETF
The Innovator U.S. Equity Ultra Buffer ETF is designed to mirror the investment performance of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), with returns capped at a specific predetermined level. Simultaneously, it is engineered to shield investors from potential losses ranging from -5% to -35% during its designated outcome period. This ETF offers the flexibility of being held for an unlimited duration, as its investment parameters are re-established at the conclusion of each outcome period, which typically happens once a year.
