Each of the four underlying ETFs held by the fund has a Target Outcome Period that resets annually, each at different quarterly intervals, creating a diversified or “laddered” Target Outcome strategy. Designed for investors looking to use the underlying ETFs to mitigate risk in the context of asset allocation, a laddered approach can reduce timing risks over the long term, by providing diversification of the investment time period and market level. Depending on when the fund purchases units of an underlying ETF, even with a laddered approach, the cap and/or buffer of an underlying ETF may be exhausted unless the fund buys units of the underlying ETF at the beginning of the applicable Target Outcome Period for the underlying ETF. At the onset of each new Target Outcome Period, the relevant underlying ETF’s cap is reset at prevailing market conditions. The cap for each underlying ETF’s subsequent outcome period will likely differ from its initial outcome period. Because the fund typically will not purchase units of an underlying ETF on the first day of the underlying ETF’s applicable Target Outcome Period, it is not likely that the stated outcomes for a target outcome period will be realized or fully realized by the fund.
“As U.S. equities have rebounded more quickly than expected over the past couple months despite mixed economic data, we believe many investors are seeking ways to have some downside risk protection, while still maintaining some exposure to the market,” said Karl Cheong, CFA, Head of Distribution at First Trust Canada, “We believe this fund will be an effective tool for investment professionals as they seek to achieve that balance for their clients.”
“Cboe Vest is proud to continue its heritage of leading-edge innovation, working with First Trust Canada to launch BUFR, a laddered portfolio of Target Outcome ETFs®. We are motivated to offer this strategy for Canadian investors looking for risk diversification, who would otherwise have to construct and manage laddered portfolios on their own. BUFR offers exposure to Target Outcome ETFs®, with the convenience of built-in diversification that recalibrates a portion of the investment to the prevailing levels of the reference asset each quarter,” said Karan Sood, CEO of Cboe Vest and investment sub-advisor to the fund and the underlying ETFs. “Cboe Vest created and has managed a laddered buffer strategy since 2016, and is excited to introduce it in an ETF for Canadian investors,” Sood added. It is important to note that diversification does not guarantee a profit nor protect against loss.
Karan Sood and Howard Rubin, of Cboe Vest, are the primary individuals responsible for the investment management decisions made by Cboe Vest, as sub-advisor to the fund.
