The FT Vest Laddered Nasdaq Buffer ETF (BUFQ) primarily aims to achieve capital growth for investors. It endeavors to accomplish this by offering exposure to prominent large-cap equities while simultaneously seeking to curb potential losses. The Fund implements this strategy through a laddered portfolio consisting of four specific FT Vest Nasdaq-100 Buffer ETFs, referred to as the "Underlying ETFs." Under typical market conditions, BUFQ commits substantially all of its holdings to these Underlying ETFs. Each Underlying ETF is designed to track the price movements of the Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1 ("QQQ"), up to a predefined maximum return, and to provide a cushion against the initial 10% of QQQ's declines over a specific one-year period. It's important to note that these returns and buffers are stated before any fees, expenses, or taxes. Crucially, unlike its constituents, the Fund itself does not employ a direct target outcome strategy, nor does it offer any explicit loss protection of its own. The buffer mechanism is solely a characteristic of the Underlying ETFs. Therefore, comprehending the strategies and associated risks of these underlying investments is vital to understanding the Fund's overall operation.
