FT Vest U.S. Equity Dual Directional Buffer ETF - November (DLNV)

DLNV seeks to offer dual directional returns by using FLEX options to match either the positive price return or the absolute or inverse value loss of SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (ticker: SPY) over a one-year period, starting November. The fund matches the positive price return of SPY up to a cap. If SPY declines to the threshold of 10%, the fund will reflect this decline in value. Once this decline is realized, the fund seeks to limit further losses through a 10% buffer.In exchange for preventing further losses, the fund foregoes additional upside return of SPY, as options are written on the price (not total) return version of the shares. Shares must be held over the entire outcome period…
