The FT Vest Laddered Buffer ETF aims to grow investors' capital. It achieves this by offering exposure to the U.S. large-cap equity market, while simultaneously mitigating downside risk. This is accomplished through a diversified, laddered portfolio composed of twelve distinct FT Vest U.S. Equity Buffer ETFs, referred to as "Underlying ETFs." Typically, the Fund allocates nearly all its assets to these Underlying ETFs. The Underlying ETFs are designed to replicate the price performance of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust ("SPY"), before accounting for fees, expenses, and taxes. However, their gains are capped at a specific predetermined level. Crucially, they also provide a protective 'buffer' against the initial 10% of SPY's losses, again, prior to fees, expenses, and taxes. It's vital to note that this buffer protection originates solely from the Underlying ETFs. The Fund itself does not offer any direct buffer against potential losses. Instead, its purpose is to grant investors simplified and diversified access to the entire collection of these Underlying ETFs through a single investment vehicle. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the strategies and inherent risks of the Underlying ETFs is essential for grasping the Fund's overall approach and associated risks.
