Innovator Laddered Allocation Power Buffer ETF (BUFF)
About this ETF
The Innovator Laddered Allocation Power Buffer ETF (BUFF) aims to replicate the returns of the FTSE Laddered Power Buffer Strategy Index. This benchmark index diversifies its holdings by allocating an equal weight to each of 12 distinct Innovator U.S. Equity Power Buffer ETFs. The strategy employed by these underlying ETFs allows investors to participate in the upward movements of U.S. stocks, though with an upper limit on potential gains, while simultaneously providing protection against the first 15% of any declines in U.S. equity values.
