FT Vest U.S. Equity Moderate Buffer ETF - August (GAUG)

ETF overview

The FT Vest U.S. Equity Moderate Buffer ETF - August is designed to offer investors a targeted investment experience. Its primary goal is to mirror the price appreciation of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (referred to as the "Underlying ETF") over a defined timeframe. This strategy aims to provide returns, before accounting for any fees and expenses, that track the Underlying ETF's performance, with a maximum upside limited to 11.89%. Simultaneously, it endeavors to protect investors from the first 15% of any declines in the Underlying ETF's value, also prior to fees and expenses. This specific investment period runs from August 18, 2025, through August 21, 2026.
