| BATS Exchange | United States Country |
Overview
The fund focuses on offering investors exposure to international developed market equities, aiming to balance the pursuit of returns with the minimization of downside risk. It adopts a unique investment approach by building a laddered portfolio composed of FT Vest International Equity Moderate Buffer ETFs. This ladder investment strategy involves allocating assets across several Underlying ETFs, each having distinct expiration dates for their target outcome periods. This approach facilitates a rolling or periodic strategy to manage the fund's investments, potentially offering a smoother investment experience over time. Despite its innovative investment strategy, it is important to note that the fund is classified as non-diversified, meaning it may invest more heavily in a smaller number of investments, which could increase its volatility and risk compared to more diversified funds.
Products and Services
- International Developed Market Equity Exposure
- Laddered Portfolio of FT Vest International Equity Moderate Buffer ETFs
- Non-Diversified Fund Structure
The core offering of the fund is its focus on providing investors with access to equities in international developed markets. This is intended for investors looking to diversify their portfolio beyond domestic investments and tap into the growth potential of established markets outside their home country. The fund aims to capture the upside potential of these markets while also attempting to protect against downside risk.
A standout feature of the fund is its laddered approach to investing, which involves holding a portfolio of underlying ETFs with staggered target outcome period expiration dates. This laddering strategy is designed to mitigate risks associated with market volatility and timing, providing a structured, rolling investment framework. It allows the fund to potentially smooth out the investment returns over time, offering a blend of growth and protection.
Unlike diversified funds, this fund operates with a non-diversified status, which means it may concentrate its investments in fewer issuers. While this approach can lead to higher volatility and increased risk, it may also offer the potential for greater returns due to the focused investment in what the fund management believes are high-potential opportunities. Investors should be aware of the higher risk profile associated with non-diversification.
