The investment approach of the fund is centered around these FLEX Options, which are tailored to provide investors with a defined level of buffer against potential losses while aiming to capture upside performance of the S&P 500 Index. The "buffer" refers to the level of downside protection built into the strategy, which can help mitigate losses during market downturns. Specifically, this ETF is designed to offer a 10% buffer, meaning it aims to limit losses to no more than 10% below the initial investment value, while still participating in market gains up to a certain cap.

This method offers investors a way to gain access to the performance of the S&P 500 Index with built-in downside protection and defined return limits. The ETF's strategy involves managing these options contracts to align with the fund’s periodic rebalancing schedule, specifically targeting April and October for adjustments, which aligns with the fund’s semi-annual investment horizon.
