Why consider ETFs?

Risk aversion doesn’t have to mean lost opportunities. ETFs with a buffer or a floor offer risk-managed investment strategies.

Investor appetite for risk is decreasing

Risk appetite has declined across generations, as baby boomers prepare for retirement and millennials express heightened sensitivity to loss.

Prevailing market dynamics create new challenges

Investors face an unprecedented environment defined by high volatility, sustained low interest rates, and a new level of uncertainty driven by increasingly integrated global markets.

Risk management is not a one-size-fits-all solution

In risk management, few strategies enable investors to participate in equity growth potential while also addressing downside risk and volatility.

Risk aversion by the numbers

64%

of American investors worry that a major recession is right around the corner.¹

61%

of households with more than $5M in investable assets cited assuring a comfortable retirement (35%) and protecting current level of wealth (26%) as important financial goals.²

46%

of American investors say they are too nervous to invest in the market.¹

Investment involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the funds will achieve their investment objectives and may not be suitable for all investors.

Investors may lose their entire investment, regardless of when they purchase shares, and even if they hold shares for an entire Outcome Period. Full extent of Caps, Buffers, Floors, or Spread only apply if held for stated Outcome Period and are not guaranteed. The Cap and Spread may increase or decrease and may vary significantly after the end of the Outcome Period.

An investor who purchases Fund Shares after the Outcome Period has begun or sells Fund Shares prior to the end of the Outcome Period may experience results that are very different from the investment objective sought by the Fund for that Outcome Period. There is no guarantee that the Cap or the Spread will remain the same after the end of the Outcome Period.

The Floor ETFs’ and Buffered ETFs' investment strategies are different from more typical investment products, and the Funds may be unsuitable for some investors. It is important that investors understand the investment strategy before making an investment. For more information regarding whether an investment in the Funds is right for you, please see the prospectus including "Investor Considerations."

Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing.
