FT Vest Laddered International Moderate Buffer ETF (BUFY)

ETF overview

BUFY holds a laddered portfolio of defined outcome buffer ETFs. It consists of four equity buffer funds, each using FLEX options to gain exposure to EFAs capped gains and provide a buffer against the first 15% of losses. The fund will invest equally in the underlying ETFs, holding one ETF with options expiring within three months, a second ETF with options expiring within six months, a third ETF with options expiring within nine months, and finally, a fourth ETF with options expiring within 12 months. Unlike the monthly equity buffers that reset annually on a specific month, BUFY refreshes quarterly (one of the underlying ETFs resets its cap and refreshes its buffer). This creates a continuous hedge regardless of each underlying ETFs outcome period. The approach reduces the timing risks associated with a monthly buffer strategy. Information on BUFY exposure to the underlying ETFs, remaining cap, and buffer are provided daily on the issuers website.
