FT Vest Gold Strategy Quarterly Buffer ETF (BGLD)
About this ETF
The FT Vest Gold Strategy Quarterly Buffer ETF (referred to as "the Fund") aims to replicate the price performance of the SPDR Gold Trust (the "Underlying ETF"). This objective comes with a pre-set maximum gain, with potential returns capped at 11.51%. Concurrently, the Fund offers a protective buffer against decreases in the Underlying ETF's value, covering losses that fall within the range of -5% to -15%. It's important to note that both this upside limit and downside protection are calculated prior to any fees and expenses being deducted. This investment strategy is in effect for the duration between March 2, 2026, and May 29, 2026.
