Fund Overview
Investment Objective
The Fund aims to reflect the price return of US large cap equities represented by the S&P 500 Index up to an approximate cap on positive performance while seeking a level of downside protection against negative performance when shares are held from the beginning to the end of a specified three-month outcome period.
AltETF Comments
Actively managed defined-outcome strategy providing S&P 500 price-return exposure through total return swaps. The current quarterly design has a deductible-style deep buffer: the investor bears the first part of an index decline, then the fund seeks to protect the next band of losses, subject to a capped upside. The full stated outcome requires holding through the outcome period; intra-period purchases and sales have different remaining cap and buffer economics.
