Innovator S&P High Quality Preferred ETF Renamed as the Innovator S&P Investment Grade Preferred ETF (EPRF)

Innovator Capital Management, LLC (Innovator) announced today the Innovator ETFs Board of Trustees has approved a name change for the Innovator S&P High Quality Preferred ETF (EPRF) to the Innovator S&P Investment Grade Preferred ETF, effective July 16, 2018. The ticker symbol, underlying index and CUSIP remain the same and current shareholders are not required to take any actions as a result of this change.

“EPRF is the only ETF on the market today providing access to a portfolio of 100% investment grade preferred shares,” said Bruce Bond, Chief Executive Officer of Innovator Capital Management. “We believe renaming EPRF as the Innovator S&P Investment Grade Preferred ETF more accurately reflects the funds’ underlying holdings.”

“Many institutions, by mandate, are limited to investment grade credit quality instruments. Within the preferred asset class, EPRF is the only ETF that fulfills this requirement,” said Graham Day, CFA, Innovator’s Vice President of Product & Research. “We believe credit risk is at historically dangerous levels. EPRF is a timely solution for investors looking to improve credit quality in one’s portfolio.”

Investing involves risks. Principal loss is possible. The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Index. The fund invests in preferred securities which may be subject to many of the risks associated with debt securities, including interest rate risk. The fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to volatile price fluctuations. Because the fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price. The Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses should be considered carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information, and may be obtained at innovatoretfs.com. Read it carefully before investing. Innovator ETFs are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC.
