Innovator U.S. Equity Accelerated 9 Buffer ETF - January (XBJA)
The Innovator U.S. Equity Accelerated 9 Buffer ETF aims to double the returns of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), up to a certain cap, while limiting the downside exposure to single exposure over a one-year period. It offers a buffer against the first 9% of losses and can be reset annually. Full benefits are only realized if shares are held from the start to the end of the one-year outcome period, with no guarantee of achieving its objectives. Those buying shares mid-period face increased risks.
