Innovator U.S. Equity Accelerated 9 Buffer ETF (XBJA)
About this ETF
The Innovator U.S. Equity Accelerated 9 Buffer ETF is designed to deliver magnified returns, aiming for twice the upside performance of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), subject to a predetermined limit. Over its one-year investment cycle, it also offers a degree of downside protection by absorbing the first 9% of losses, while generally maintaining single exposure to declines beyond that buffer. Although these outcome periods reset approximately once per year, the fund can be held for an extended duration.
