About this ETF
The Innovator U.S. Equity Ultra Buffer ETF aims to replicate the performance of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), with returns subject to a predefined upper limit. During its designated outcome period, this fund shields investors from losses ranging from 5% to 35%. Although it can be held continuously, the ETF resets its parameters approximately once a year at the conclusion of each outcome cycle.
