Leading the Defined Outcome ETF Revolution™
Investment Objective: The Funds seek to provide investors, over the 1 year outcome period, with an investment that provides a high level of income through a Defined Distribution Rate while providing a buffer against the first 9% of SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust losses. The Defined Distribution Rate is based upon a rate that is comprised of the income generated by the U.S. Treasuries and the premiums received from the Fund selling FLEX Options. The Defined Distribution Rate is likely to rise or fall from one Outcome Period to the next. Account fees will lower the Defined Distribution Rate received by shareholders. The Fund seeks to provide shareholders that hold shares for the entire outcome period with a buffer against the first 9% of Underlying ETF losses during the outcome period. The Fund's shareholders will bear all Underlying ETF losses exceeding 9% on a one-to-one basis. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to implement the Buffer. Fund shareholders will be subject to losses experienced by the Underlying ETF if the Underlying ETF experiences losses from the commencement of the Outcome Period to its conclusion that exceed the Buffer. The Fund will seek to set the Buffer at 9% of Underlying ETF losses at the end of each Outcome Period. If at the end of the Outcome Period the Underlying ETF has experienced a positive price return, or price return losses that are less than the Buffer, the Fund will not experience any of the losses of the Underlying ETF and is designed to provide returns that equal the Defined Distribution Rate. However, if the Underlying ETF has decreased in value below the Buffer at the end of the Outcome Period, the Fund's investments will generate Outcomes that equal the Defined Distribution Rate less any decreases in NAV reflecting the losses experienced by the Underlying ETF that exceed the Buffer. The Fund will not benefit from any increases in the Underlying ETF over the course of an outcome period but is subject to the possibility of significant losses experienced by the Underlying ETF if the value of the Underlying ETF drops below the Buffer at the end of the Outcome Period. A shareholder could lose its entire investment. The Fund will not receive or benefit from any dividend payments made by the constituents of the Underlying ETF. In the event an investor purchases shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or sells shares prior to the expiration of the FLEX Options, the Buffer that the Fund seeks to provide may not be available. The Fund does not provide principal protection or non-principal protection, and an investor may experience significant losses on its investment, including the loss of its entire investment.The Outcomes may only be realized by investors who continuously hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period until its conclusion. Investors who purchase Shares after the Outcome Period has begun or sell Shares prior to the Outcome Period's conclusion may experience investment returns very different from those that the Fund seeks to provide.The Funds' website, www.innovatoretfs.com, provides important Fund information as well as information relating to the potential outcomes of an investment in a Fund on a daily basis.The Fund will use proceeds from the sale of Shares to purchase U.S. Treasuries that mature at the end of the Outcome Period. The Fund receives premiums from its FLEX Options positions and invests the proceeds in U.S. Treasuries with maturities that align with the Distribution Dates. The U.S. Treasuries are entitled to an interest rate, which when added to the premiums received for selling FLEX Options, produce the Defined Distribution Rate. The Defined Distribution Rate is distributed to shareholders in Defined Distributions.FLEX Options Risk. The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than standard options. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. The values of FLEX Options do not increase or decrease at the same rate as the reference asset and may vary due to factors other than the price of reference asset.
The Funds only seek to provide shareholders that hold shares for the entire Outcome Period with their respective buffer level against losses of the reference asset during the Outcome Period. You will bear all reference asset losses exceeding the buffer. Depending upon market conditions at the time of purchase, a shareholder that purchases shares after the Outcome Period has begun may also lose their entire investment. For instance, if the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has decreased in value beyond the pre-determined buffer, an investor purchasing shares at that price may not benefit from the buffer. Similarly, if the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has increased in value, an investor purchasing shares at that price may not benefit from the buffer until the Fund’s value has decreased to its value at the commencement of the Outcome Period.
Shares are bought and sold at market price, not net asset value (NAV), and are not individually redeemable from the fund. NAV represents the value of each share's portion of the fund's underlying assets and cash at the end of the trading day. Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the close of trading on the exchange where fund shares are listed.
