XDAP Profile
The Innovator U.S. Equity Accelerated ETF - April is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that focuses on leveraging FLEX Options to achieve its investment objectives. Under normal circumstances, the fund will allocate at least 80% of its net assets to a portfolio of FLEX Options, which are designed to provide targeted exposure to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. This underlying ETF aims to track the performance of the S&P 500 Index, a benchmark representing 500 leading U.S. companies across various industries.
FLEX Options, or FLexible EXchange Options, are customizable exchange-traded options contracts that allow for unique terms and conditions tailored to specific investment strategies. These options are guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), but they carry counterparty risk associated with the OCC and may experience lower liquidity compared to standard exchange-traded options. The flexibility in terms provides opportunities for tailored exposure, but also introduces specific risks related to liquidity and counterparty stability.
The fund's strategy involves using these FLEX Options to create an investment profile that seeks to enhance returns while managing risk relative to the underlying SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. By focusing on a specific set of options contracts with custom terms, the fund aims to capitalize on market opportunities and provide investors with a unique approach to equity exposure. The use of FLEX Options also implies a sophisticated approach to hedging and leveraging market movements.
As a non-diversified fund, the Innovator U.S. Equity Accelerated ETF - April concentrates its investments in FLEX Options related to the S&P 500, with no intention of diversifying across other asset classes or sectors. This focused approach is designed to deliver performance linked closely to the underlying ETF, emphasizing the fund's strategy to achieve its investment goals through the use of specialized options contracts. Investors should be aware of the potential risks associated with FLEX Options, including counterparty risk and liquidity considerations, as part of their investment decision-making process.
