The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by providing investors with U.S. large-cap equity market exposure while fund manager attempting to limit downside risk through a laddered portfolio of twelve FT Vest U.S. Equity Max Buffer ETFs. Under normal market conditions, it will invest substantially all of its assets in the Underlying ETFs, which seek to provide investors with returns that match the price return of SPY, up to a predetermined upside cap, while providing the maximum available buffer against SPY losses, over a defined one-year period.

From the market data provider's fund data, read 2026-10-19. Returns are the fund's own; past returns say nothing certain about future ones. None of this is advice.
