Why consider buffered ETFs?

Risk aversion leads to lost opportunities. Risk-managed investment strategies could be a solution.

Investor appetite for risk is decreasing

Risk appetite has declined across generations, as baby boomers prepare for retirement and millennials express heightened sensitivity to loss.

Prevailing market dynamics create new challenges

Investors face an unprecedented environment defined by high volatility, sustained low interest rates, and a new level of uncertainty driven by increasingly integrated global markets.

Risk management is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution

Across the spectrum of risk management, few strategies allow investors to participate in the growth potential of equities while also providing the opportunity to address downside exposure and volatility.

Risk aversion by the numbers

79%

of American investors worry that current world tensions will cause a recession.¹

59%

of households with more than $5M in investable assets cited assuring a comfortable retirement (32%) and protecting current level of wealth (27%) as their most important financial goals.²

43%

of American investors say they are too nervous to invest in the market.¹

Investment involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the funds will achieve their investment objectives and may not be suitable for all investors.

Investors may lose their entire investment, regardless of when they purchase shares, and even if they hold shares for an entire Outcome Period. Full extent of Caps and Buffers only apply if held for stated Outcome Period and are not guaranteed. The Cap may increase or decrease and may vary significantly.

An investor who purchases Fund Shares after the Outcome Period has begun or sells Fund Shares prior to the end of the Outcome Period may experience results that are very different from the investment objective sought by the Fund for that Outcome Period. There is no guarantee that the Cap will remain the same after the end of the Outcome Period.

The Buffered Outcome ETFs' investment strategies are different from more typical investment products, and the Funds may be unsuitable for some investors. It is important that investors understand the investment strategy before making an investment. For more information regarding whether an investment in the Funds is right for you, please see the prospectus including "Investor Considerations."

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. For a prospectus with this and other information about the Fund, please call 877.429.3837 or review the prospectus. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
